Serbia SERBIA 2018 - Sanja Ilić & Balkanika - Nova deca

[tsegaye]

I like the song, nice with something local in the native language for Serbia. The song isn't memorable however, and I think they will have trouble with qualifying in the tough SF2... It's a 7 for me!

 

[kamc]

Already my most listened to song from the songs picked this year

Oh my god, I'm sorry but I really hate it 0 points.

wonderful. unique, ethnic, engaging (instead of being yet another zeljko-esque slop, MONTENEGRO). tremendous staging potential. you go, serbia.

 

[Vera]

The Serbian song on the other hand... It may be more genuine, but the ethno and pop elements aren't really integrated properly, so it appears rather messy..

Messy is ok...Messy is Balkanika... My favorite by Sanja Ilic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b5LziOtcw4

Wow That's way better than "Nova Deca" !
If that had been the Serbian entry, you could count on my vote!

THE GOOD:
-It's memorable and kinda catchy.
-It has the right balance of ethnic and dance beats, in my opinion, anyway.

THE BAD:
-The audience might consider this song a bit old-sounding.

THE VERDICT:
I really like what Serbia has done here, which is to bring it back to the ambient pop sound of the mid-90s. I like the song better than the performance in the video (which is not to say it was a bad performance, in fact, I'd give it 8 points), the latter of which can be fixed with time. I consider this song to be a dark horse if the staging is done right come performance time. 10 points

Serbia really surprised me. I thought you cannot do worse thn Belarus this year. I don't have words to decribe this song. It's the worst entry from Serbie ever and currectny dead last in my personal ranking.

not bad

I do not really like this

That huge drop in the odds is a clear reflection of the messy song Serbia is sending this year. I gave 6 points yesterday, but dropped it today to a 3 after few listens and a bit of a headache at the end. Final for Serbia? Don’t take it for granted.

Oh great, one of the only songs I found decent in this National Final. 7 points for now

Because odds or polls are always spot on! Like Italy last year.. lowest betting odds ever for a win finished 6th place while OGAE-0-pointer Moldova had odds of 500+ to win and finished 3rd place.

It is an objective and an imperative. Depends, some songs can and should be dated .One such win last year.
It will not be revamp, because it is not needed.
A wide audience has already felt the song in the best way.
It will all be focused on choreographic themes on the main stage and the design of scenes - lights, colorings, requisites, etc.

Most of the songs are dated at the end. It does not matter.
It is important to transfer energy to viewers and jury. It's just that's important.

Transfer the energy to viewers? I consider myself a viewer and I´m not feeling any energy right now the way this version is.

Audience already feeling the song? Musical taste is subjective, but many people are feeling this because of the Balkan sound. Not particularly because pop beats sound fresh. Look at the comments. You will still find comments, both on YT videos and ESC sites claiming that this sounds dated. Why should only positive comments be treated as only relevant ones? If there is an opportunity to attract more people, take that opportunity! You are really not sacrificing anything by boosting the quality of instrumental.

The song from last year was dated? Uhm, no. The song from last year is retro. Genres of songs like "Amar pelos dois" still have their own market where they are showcased. You can consider them as "niche market".
