Re: SLOVENIA 2018

Beside the excellent eight finalists and the two exciting hosts, the final will feature another three superb musical performers. Omar Naber, the winner of EMA 2017.
In 2011 in Düsseldorf, Amaya, as Maja Keuc, captivated the Eurovision fans with her song No One. This time she will perform her new single for the first time for the Slovenian audience. And Raiven will take us down the memory lane with her two songs from EMA 2016 and 2017, while spicing up the performance with her brand new song.

Re: SLOVENIA 2018

What a lit selection of guests! I hope Omar won't sing "On My Way" only, "Stop" - or otherwise a brand new song - would be great.

Maja is such a troll though: after toying with us and withdrawing from the NF last year, she finally is willing to sing some new material on Slovenian TV. It's been 84 years since "Close To You"... but I'm glad she'll be there. xheart

As for Raiven, the choice of songs was expected. I like her new hair: half-magenta and half-purple. xheart I count on her to serve us some looks, it's nice she'll be co-hosting as well.

Re: SLOVENIA 2018

Finally got round to listening to all the songs in the final. There are 2 that would be good choices.

Nuška Drašček – Ne zapusti me zdaj : This is my favourite. Amazing voice and cracking song.
Indigo – Vesna - First minute isn't great, but after that is becomes something very good. I love the ethnic elements in the music. Great stage show as well.

And for the love of all blue hell, do not send BQL.

I don't know what to think about all that...

Firstly, Ina Shai's and BQL's lyrics in English seem really cheesy and uninspired to me, ew. It makes their songs even flatter and cliché. :? Otherwise, I'm glad everyone else kept their songs in Slovenian, for I didn't expect so many acts to do so. However, I do wonder whether it'll be an impediment for them or not: BQL will win the televote no matter what, but I'm curious about how the rest will be ranked. I'm happy Lea Sirk changed her mind, actually I feared she would butcher her song by not being able to sing in English as fast as she has to, it's certainly better that way.

Running order-wise, I'm scared Lea is potentially out because she opens the final. :? Nice starting position for Lara Kadis though, and I'm glad Proper are performing late as well. I wouldn't have made Nuška close the show though, did she do that well? :lol:

I want either Lea (my number one) or Proper (a vain wish) or Lara (my number three) to win. Juries will have to mark BQL down once again though, as I'm convinced all their fans will massively vote because of last year's outcome. The thing is "Promise" is not strong enough to do well at Eurovision imo. If "Uspavanka" flopped, then there's no reason why they should do much better imo. :mad:

Re: SLOVENIA 2018

No offense, but Nuška would be Omar Naber part 2 imo :lol:

I don't mean it in terms of quality, but as far as the competition is concerned, I highly doubt she would stand a chance of qualification.

I totally understood she was one of your faves ;) Actually, I'd like to see her go to Eurovision someday, she's a good vocalist.

Re: SLOVENIA 2018

Well Niška was second last year, mostly thanks to the jury, so the jury obviously loves her. But it would be ridiculous if she won this year.
I’ll be in the Lara camp for the final, but good luck to Lea too. :)
And BQL I have yet to hear in English, maybe it’s not as bland.

Re: SLOVENIA 2018

As of now, the Youtube views are the following:

1. BQL 105 K
2. Lea Sirk 87 K
3. Lara Kadis 71 K
4. Nuska Drascek 42 K
5. Ina Shai 34 K
6. Proper 26 K
7. Indigo 19 K
8. Marina Martensson 13 K

Will the televote look significantly different? Wait and see.
Jury-wise, it's another story. Watch "Blizu" win the jury's ranking. :mrgreen:

Re: SLOVENIA 2018


Only 2 songs in english! I'm glad Lara is going to sing in slovenian xlove

I would also be fine with Lea Sirk and Ina Shai winning ;)

Is Nuska really a favorite? With that dated mess :? She's got a great voice but pleeease...

EDIT: I didn't see that EscGeek already posted the video, sorry ... :oops:
