OMG there is a lot happening right now!
First of all, yay to Astrid in Avantgarden performing last in EMA Fres
Girl will go to EMA. Failure isn't a luxury RTVSLO can afford regarding that one.
Regarding the EMA lineup, first of all I wasn't expecting ten acts... So it means this edition will have a total of twelve participants in the end, thanks to EMA Fres.
The more, the merrier!
Names-wise, I only know three acts so that is refreshing: I'm glad INMATE are back, I loved (and still listen to) "Atma", I'd just like improved live vocals this time. Hopefully, they have another banger in store for me.
I suspected Lina Kuduzovic would take part at some point (especially following Ula Lozar's try this year) and I'm okay with it because she had great vocals when she competed in JESC, HOWEVER count me out if she's here to serve some Ariana Grande realness: her entry will be decisive as far as my support is concerned. Maraaya'd better work hard or else I wish them the same NQ fate as "Fridays"! I said what I said.
And last but not least, I'm shocked to see Goddesskara in there... Only Mr. God knows how much I loved "Round And Round" (my third place in 2014), so - while I'm happy to see her again - I worry about this brand new song. I just don't want to be disappointed or hear something that's decent, yet weaker than her 2014 effort. It'll be interesting to know if she worked with Raay again or with a new team.
I don't know the rest of the lineup, so I'm hoping there will be some interesting efforts I don't expect at the moment.
Anyway, I get good vibes from all these news.
no raiven stay strong tuorem
Hvala Anaracute!
I need strength, even though I expected her not to be there since she hasn't stopped for four years in a row (if we count her co-hosting the show in 2018). Add to that the KAOS rejection and the Lea Sirk-gate with the microphone this year, it was better not return so soon. Also, she's currently touring in Slovenia until mid-February, so it was clear she was not planning a comeback.
Wait! The article EscGeek posted says she was one of the three members of the selection committee!
It's her second time after 2018!
Not gonna lie though, I saw the participants very quickly at first and Simon Vadnjal's background colour gave me KAOS-promo pic vibes
But I am excited about what's to come! May Goddesskara bring her A-game
