Slovenia SLOVENIA 2018 - Lea Sirk - Hvala, ne!

[aletem]

Here's LQ video of Lea performing during Eurovision In Concert. Hopefully, we'll get a better one soon because the end is missing. :?

And another great performance! She gives the song so much character live, her energy is infectious. One can hear some people sing with her, that's cool And her outfit was classy sexy: very fitting imo!

I'm posivitively surprised by how well the song seems to be received by the audience too, compared to the ridiculous odds it has at the moment. I still believe "Hvala, Ne!" can surprise big time in the contest.

I was really amused when she said in her interview how she does not care about RTV SLO, about winning etc.? Even Deban laughed hard when she said to him: Come on, I am never going to win ESC (well, she said something like this). But as you said it, I think/believe that she stands good chances to be the surprise qualifier. In less than one month, we will know how this story ends

I also believe she can go up, the semi-finals where she participates, at least in my opinion, not the best. That means there are good songs, but compared to the first half. Here there is a more surprising chance. (In principle the only songs that interest me in this semifinal are Moldavia and Australia, my number one). Even the location where the song is in the order of the songs can be in the best interest of the Slovenian

Oh my God, I think she is getting more and more relaxed on stage. As though she was really enjoying herself. Since the end is missing, I wonder only if she changed her Hvala ne to Dutch at the end like she did it in Israel.

אני מקווה שאתה צודק! לאה היא ממש קפית, נכון? חוץ מזה, מולדביה מוצאת חן גם בעניי! אוסטרליה לא ממש

Anyways, I've just said to ApEsc that I really hope he is right. Lea is really fun and besides, I like Moldova too, but not Australia that much.

It's a classic party song

שמח לראות מישהו כותבת בעברית , אתה כותב ממש טוב. ולגמרי, היא קולית. יש לה כריזמה, יודעת איך להופיע.

And what I answered Carian is that I'm happy to see someone writing in Hebrew, you write really well. And completely, Lea is cool. She has charisma, she knows how to perform.

ESCKAZ is much quicker in posting new videos than Wiwibloggs! If ESCKAZ had more articles, I think they would actually be a good competition to Wiwibloggs. Besides, it would be interesting to have an "Eastern-European" based ESC site, cuz I would really love to hear ex-USSR states what and how they think about ESC and various entries. I personally have this feeling there is much what we don't know/understand about them.

I agree, it would be refreshing to have an "Eastern-European" Wiwibloggs counterpart. Not to mention Wiwi likes them clicks and posted the most popular acts of Israel Calling 2018 first, leaving the rest behind, which I found annoying. And they can be very biased coverage-wise (Spain and Finland were so talked about, for instance). Besides, their opinions are obviously "Western-centered" since most of their known faces are Brits.

ESCKAZ deserves some credit indeed. I don't think they're trying to compete for the spotlight, yet it's nice to have a reliable source of information from another part of Europe.

My estimations on this song massively went up after last night. It really works live and she's a commanding performer. Very impressive

I am glad you agree, because I have been checking YT reactions by fans from Eastern Europe to selected entries for this year's ESC edition and you know what surprised me most? My impression was that the ESC is not stigmatized as a "gay celebration" over there. I was quite surprised to see that also some East-European guys made reaction videos, yet they are definitively not gay. And don't get me wrong - I really don't mind if ESC has the "gay" stigma. However, I take this observation as a clue that suggests that ESC is still seen for the most part as a music competition in Eastern Europe, and I really like this idea. Well, perhaps we should drop a message or two to ESCKAZ and give them the "idea" to approach the covering of ESC in a more professional way

As for Wiwibloggs, you've nailed it once again, tuorem. I remember that you have expressed this critique about their over-hyping of Findland already long ago. I've paid attention and I must agree. There are several songs/interpreters who get a lot of coverage and special treatment. In the end, my opinion is that William is the face of Wiwibloggs and actually that guy in their team who has the right approach and attitude to all songs. I must say that he seems to me as the most objective and fair commentator, who always seeks for the positive in every song and performer. From time to time, I am also surprised by his political undertone-comments. Probably the most surprising fact/discovery for me about William was when I saw how he defended Russian entries and criticized the negative stance of fans who reject/criticize Russian entries only for the sake of politics. As for Deban, I like him as interviewer, he is funny and always well prepared for interviews, but he is actually very negative and super-critical of certain entries. For instance, I've seen how critical he was of Lea's entry, down-rating it, criticizing the song etc., but in his interview with Lea, I had that feeling he was complimenting her, but it sounded so hypocritical and dishonest, when I remembered of all his critiques about Lea's song. I don't know, I surely don't like it, but hey, what can we do??? Finally, we have already agreed that the worst Wiwiblogger is that Irish guy whose lack of energy on camera is (honestly) disturbing. When I see him commenting or reacting, it feels like ages before he finishes his sentence(s). Enough about Wiwibloggs and its members. They make good money because of your and my love for ESC, and already by talking about them, this brings them even more money

Otherwise, I cannot believe, ESC is actually already around the corner! Soon, rehearsals will start, and then the big week, and it's over for another year

Actually these guys have best quality every year.

It is really annoying and awful to see, how guys from Wiwibloggs tend to create hype only around their personal favourites, this year it is Spain, Israel, Hungary, Finland, Australia...Last year they were dying for Francesco's attention, and when the hype fell, they started to kiss Salvador's ass literally. LOL I hope the same fate won't be waiting for Netta. If you are blogger and journalist, you should be at least decent to all acts and to be objective or at least to try it. It is shame that they even post five interviews with those participants they prefer, and with some they don't appreciate they make barely one interview. They seems to me too fake in behavior and arrogant from time to time.

[LoveHate]

I really like her and certain aspects of the song, but the song just isn’t good enough. I want to like it more than I actually do.

I don't get the point of your post. What did you try to tell us by saying you want to like it more than you actually do?!?! I am asking seriously.
