Absolutely wild to me that they chose this over Harem Girls or Mimi

But props to the Serbian televoters for ranking a drag act 2nd. Never thought that could be possible! Hopefully they return next year and can do one better.

(I'll keep my fingers crossed for Montenegro to qualify and getting a Top 15 result, though - I think it's still the best ballad we got this year).

Absolutely agree! Montenegro is at my 4th place in my ranking. Fantastic ballad and I hope it will survive the semi!

It's OK, sort of inoffensive to me. Not an obvious qualifier. I see potential for a revamp, ramping up the dramatic elements of the song. Singer is interesting looking too so could work on that...pirate?

I didn’t follow this selection at all, who was supposed to win? What is all the drama about? (I mean the big gap between jury and televoting, I see…)

Well talking about the winning song, it feels like a classic 2000s Eurovision ballad. I don’t think that it’s that bad… it’s not amazing though. It’s just there, I guess. So I’ll give

points. It’s still better than many of this year‘s songs, uff.

I don’t know anything about the singer‘s backstory though? Is there an additional reason why he’s getting so much hate?

I gave it

Song is not good, but vocals are so strong and the performance actually fits, full of esc cliches, a bit camp and kitsch

I probably like it more than last year..

I was so happy, when it can't be Oxajo band, we didn't get Harem Girls or Mimi...probably the only one at the PZE watch party last night.. lmao :lol:

I forgot to talk about the staging in my post… the staging was quite hilarious, all over the place. „How many different staging elements do you want to have?“ Princ: „YES“

But I do like it... It's eurovison, it's camp!

Just our Eastern European way of camp!

This exactly - if anyone asked me what kind of music was typical of Eastern Europe in Eurovision, this schmaltzy ballad is a great example. Melodically, it just screams campy drama, and tbh I'm kinda here for it. Didn't follow the selection, but I don't hate this.

seems about right for now - we needed some ballads in this bop-heavy yeah tbh...

Seems like he refused to hug one of the Harem Girls members, oh boy...

Members of the Harem Girls already denied it.
It was a shitty attempt to make Princ look bad. He hugged his dancer and celebrated (he was also approached by people from behind who congratulated him and he didn't hug them in the - blink and you miss it - footage either).

Nothing could have prepared me for this crap... The first time ever I am hoping my home country doesn't qualify.

What’s the context of this? I didn’t watch the final

Mainshow · March 1, 2025

Here's a video of the Harem Girls stating that one member hugged him as well and that Princ was just celebrating/happy/crying and it was on tape (that's the 3 seconds when he wasn't hugging anyone).

Probably it's her reaction to the jury choosing a conservative performer (the conservatives cheered for Vukayla and him, kinda in line with the jury).

Maja Nikolic ~~threatened~~ promised to come back next year

"For the jury, it is a disgrace and shame! It is unprecedented when such dubious personalities without a career, like Zorja and others, sit on the jury. It is truly ridiculous and pathetic. I invite Zorja to my singing lessons, and I tell Darko Kostić, the composer: “Darling, if you write at least one mega-hit that has been going on for 33 years, like my song “Odlazi”, which won three first prizes at Mesham-i, then you will be a worthy member of any jury...
The PZE professional jury can sell apples at the market, and that's if they are allowed to."
