Slovenia SLOVENIA 2018 - Lea Sirk - Hvala, ne!

[DaFlo]

does anybody know if this will stay in slovenian or will this probably be changed to english?

Well she had the chance to sing the English version in the final but kept it in Slovenian, so I think (and hope) it will stay like this.

 

[SaladBreak]

I even liked the last chorus in Portuguese, I wouldn't mind if she adds that

 

[SwissKung]

Really like the entry (thanks to the excellent performance), I hope she'll keep it in Slovenian because the chorus is quite catchy and memorable.

She was interviewed by a journalist right after she won. He asked her if she was planning to change the language, and she responded "we'll try to, but I think there's no possibility because in Slovenia they said it needs to stay in the language it was performed in in the final. But I think I'll change something, I'll try to... even a little... I would choose some Portuguese words!"

Well, it wasn't a formal declaration or anything, and things may still change, but I'm glad she didn't allude to a potential English invasion.

No...I think that this song will fail to qualify in the 2nd strong semifinal..I don't like this song...
Enough electro music for this year!!!
2 points!!!

Just got round to listening to it. Bad all round but the chorus is one of the worst things in human history. Slovenia DOA.

1 point.

 

[Anthony Tesla]

It just amazes me how sometimes the best a country, any country has to offer is something like this.

No points, my first zero of the season, and I hope it's the only one.

I hope this stays in Slovenian... enough with English already... go EUROvision

 

[Fluke]

Wow, i like how it pays homage to the "East bloc pop" tradition while being completely modern at the same time. The language really suits it well too, no translation needed. I think this will get a good result, but the competition is really tough this year too!

That was so great At times it looked more like a music video than an actual performance.
I like how she managed to set a particular atmosphere around those three songs in an arty yet minimalistic way. The colours and camera angles are gorgeous btw.

I hope she'll follow Lea next year. #Ljubljana2020WaitingToHappen

The first 10 seconds turned me off instantly. Overall a very exhausting and unpleasant song.

 

[ZoboCamel]

In the odds, Slovenia has dropped from 40 to 43 after the results, which seems bizarre to me considering "Lie To Me" is 2nd atm Anyway, when all the entries are out and the rehearsals start, it'll change for sure.

Quite a bit more than that, actually... I'm not sure what greedy bookmakers have put odds of 43 on this, but it's now available at 1000/1 No idea how it'll do personally, though.

 

[Alaska49]

i am actually starting to believe this has a shot at qualifying!!! this has a very kpop quality to it (it's basically a 4minute single) and that, coupled with its strong staging, might just give it enough votes. it's a very triana park proposition (i thought they had a good shot and they were last lol), but i could see it.

 

[apasionata]

Weave evaporated. We LOVE a trend-setting country, this is some serious 2019-like type of pop music. A little country that CAN. Mikolas is SHAKING as it's just become my no. 1. Prepare for the perfect storm in May.

Slovenia simply needs to send Raiven in 2019. "Crno bel" is just amazing, nothing came even close in the Slovenian selections since that song.

True! As the years go on I just get angry that they didn't send that! Slovenia often has amazing songs in the national finals which always get unjustly treated (still not over Sasa Lendero & Mandoline in 2006 haha). But for real, ManuElla should have been like 'Oh shit - I don't deserve to be here instead of Crno Bel...I'll withdraw". It really could've placed Slovenia it's best result.

I have no idea either but I'm surprised bookmakers haven't seen one bit of potential in it so far.
Claiming it could win would be a stretch obviously but is it that chanceless as far as qualification is concerned compared with the rest? It remains to be seen. If it were another country sending this, I'm sure it wouldn't be that low to begin with.
We'll see what happens once all entries are out, it wouldn't be the first time an act gets reconsidered by the time Eurovision starts.

You can hardly complain this year. More songs not in English than in many years. Cheers Salvador!
