Re: SLOVENIA 2013

After seeing this video, I think that Maja Keuc, Darja Svajger and Nusa Derenda should do a trio collab for Slovenia :D. Probably the most epic trio in ESC history

Re: SLOVENIA 2013

It's true! It would be awesome to see Eva Boto on the stage with them. She's even taller than Maja. :lol:

They might as well invite Daria Kinzer to make a collab with Maja and Eva. They shall be called the 'Mile High Divas' they could also feature another Eva, Eva Rivas. That gives them an average height of 7 feet xD.

Re: SLOVENIA 2013

Rock Partyzani any day for me :D

Manca Spik I would also consider ^.^

I don't think that Rock Partyzani will ever try again, but you can never know for sure. BTW, here's their new song (if you're interested): click

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that we'll see Manca Špik on EMA very soon. She released her last song in April 2011, but it wasn't THAT successful. Her career is in decline and EMA could give her a proper boost.

Oh, and it's obvious that she would love to go to Eurovision. She participated in our national selection 3 times. :D

Btw, her last song is called "Žensko srce". It's a cover of "Canta por mim" (:pt: NF 2010) an there's an interesting story behind this song:

»Pesem Žensko srce je pravzaprav nastala pred dvema letoma in sva jo z Andrejem najprej mislila prijaviti na EMO 2010, a smo se na koncu premislili in
namesto nje poslali balado.

Translation: Song "Žensko srce" was created 2 years ago. Me and Andrej Babič wanted to submit it for EMA 2010, but we changed our mind and sent a ballad instead.

Here it is:


I'm pretty sure she would have a bigger chance to win with this one than "Tukaj sem doma" but I really like both of them. And she's a good performer as well. :D

Re: SLOVENIA 2013

I agree, he really is!

Chances that we'll see him as a host are MUCH bigger. And that's awesome too! :D

At least we get to see him :D. When Slovenia wins ESC, he HAS to host :mrgreen:

TBH, I enjoyed Klemen's musical numbers more than the contestants' performances in Misija Evrovizija. I especially loved his Shakira and Bon Jovi impersonation :D

I highly doubt that it'll ever happen, but still! If we ever win, he'll be the host! I'm sure! :lol:

I liked the whole show, but yeah, his performances were the best part of it! I also loved his stand-up moments and I'm sure that you would too - if you understood the language!! :D

I remember you, or some other Slovene members, were talking about how hilarious he was last year :D. I wish I understood what he was saying! He's just great all around :D

Re: SLOVENIA 2013

We should give a few spots in our national selection (if we'll have one :lol:) to experienced, but not-so-known Slovenian singers. My propositions:

Daša Gradišek and her amazing performance of "The Colour Of My Love" (originally sung by Celine Dion):


Anja Baš singing "The Voice Within" (originally by Christina Aguilera)


Saša Danilov and "Empire State Of Mind" (Alicia Keys)


Funny fact: Maja Keuc's first TV performance happened in this show as well (click)

All these singers are experienced and had many different projects, but never really made a breakthrough.

Daša is currently trying as a solo artist and touring with Plavi orkestar. Her most successful single so far: click
Anja Baš is currently a singer of Rock Partyzani and is also trying to build a solo career. Her latest single: click
Saša left her band "Panda" few months ago and is a house-singer of a TV show called "Ugani, kdo pride na večerjo". One of the songs she made with Panda - click

Or how about actual artists and acts and not these talent show karaoke singers? ;) Now that's a better idea imo :)

Well, I said a few spots, not all.

I would love to have well-known artists in our NF, but I think that not-so-known singers deserve a chance as well. Out of the ones that I posted, only Anja Baš participated in a talent show (Bitka talentov - the same one as Omar Naber, Nina Pušlar and others). She applied for X factor as well, but I think that she left it voluntarily, because she became a new singer of Rock Partyzani.

I don't get your anti-talent show singers attitude. I understand, some of them aren't anything special, but there are some exceptions. These exceptions continue their career after the show and gain a lot of experience. With a good song, I just don't see a reason why they shouldn't take part in Eurovision.

Because most of them aren't interesting, they have no back-catalogue of songs, they have no artistic integrity, they have no personality.

Many are technical good singers, good enough to enter a singing competition, but I want artistry, acts with some character.

I mean if one treats ESC as a singing competition, then I can get why people ask for these people, but I want to judge artists based on what they've actually done... and just singing kareoke doesn't say much to me or give some indication of what type of music they could enter in ESC.

During the talent show they usually really don't have a back-catalogue of songs, but this applies for every young / new artist, not only for talent show participants, doesn't it?

And saying that they have no personality is kind of too much. Well, actually I know what you mean, but some of them really stand out and do have a stage personality .

It's true, it's great to see some established singer on a stage. It's even greater to see someone that had good songs in the past, someone that you've been a fan of since ____ or someone that's even your idol. BUT what matters the most when you're watching Eurovision is still the song that he's performing on the stage right now, at this moment. The average viewer doesn't care about what someone did in the past, they only judge the song and the delivery of it.

Average viewer from Sweden (for example) wouldn't care if :sl: sent like the biggest star we have, because he wouldn't know nothing more about him/her than about some young performer.

That's why it doesn't really matter if we send a young artists. But they really have to be convincing, which is - I admit - hard to find. Not only among young performers. Among everyone.

(I probably went a little bit off from what you said, but I hope that it makes sense anyway.. :lol:)
