This is already becoming such an iconic song in my book xheart I guess instead of saying "no, thanks", I'll say "Hvala, ne!" from now on xqueenbitch

Well, isn't the televoting favourite supposed not to win in EMA? :lol: It's like a tradition now I guess! It's not surprising anymore. :mrgreen:
As soon as the votes started coming BQL's way, the Lord said: "Hvala, Ne!" xqueenbitch then this happened.

This has every potential be my number 1, but I find that chorus (or lack off) very underwhelming, it needs more drama to it. It builds great and then it feels like someone just hits the mute button. Hopefully they fix it, but for now I will give it 8 as I think this will be a great grower for me.

Woohoo Lea! xyes
For a second I was worried one of the screamy/weepy songs will win. BQL also need to try next year with a good, catchy song that'd be closer to their first attempt.

Guys, if you haven't listened to Hvala, ne! with headphones, you should! I've read a comment that tv/laptop speakers don't do it justice and it's true. xmusic

With this song and presentation, I guess Slovenia may finally be chosen to close a semi-final xlove

Will it be translated ?
If I remember well, all songs were in Slovenian, with possibility of being translated afterwards ?

Hopefully she does nothing in this regard. I feel Lea does have a quite distracting English accent, and I'm scared about the content of the English lyrics... Plus she sounds so badass in Slovenian, I don't want the flow to be wonky and the "Hvala, Ne!" lines are gold tbh xheat Given what "V Nebo" and "Ptica" have become once translated, I wouldn't recommend her to give up on this version now.

THE GOOD:
-It's different, which is always nice to hear and see.
-Overall, this was a pleasant listen.

THE BAD:
-Although the mashing-up is done very well, it's still two different genres.

THE VERDICT:
Slovene hip-hop, huh? Now that I think about it, this would be a good Christina Aguilera song if it was in English. It's still pop, but with a little bit of R&B thrown in the mix. This is much better than last year's Slovene entry. 8 points

This is a good pick that's going to add something different to this years Eurovision. I can't say that i'm a big fan of it (not my kind of hip) but i'm happy living with it's presence at the contest. It seems well produced and pushing all the correct buttons. Strong performance overall. Have my respectful 6 points:cool:

She was good at "Your face sounds familiar" imitations, I didn't hear much accent... but maybe a non-slovene would hear it more :) (examples: Sia, Lady Gaga )

Speaking of it... I think this has been posted before, but still: Lea as Salvador Sobral :mrgreen:
