He also records a new album, I guess he'll take some song from new album for ESC. :D

From what I just heard is that he is going to sing!!! (if that's what you wanna call it) and not just write the song!

^ should we change the thread title (I'm still gonna be optimistic and hope that he will sing as a backup singer only)?
okaaay, nevermind :) I could read it even without translator.


I think that he's quite attractive for his age, but I don't piss from excitement while listening to his songs :oops:

I really liked Putnici in 99, one of Bosnias best entries ever! :) But I don't know...doesn't feel like the hottest in the Bosnian music scene nowadays...:/

Um, "Putnici"'s not bad at all but for me it needed a lot of listenings. I hope this isn't the case in 2011. I'm pretty sure it'll be better than "Thunder and Lightning"... :lol:

Re: BOSNIA i HERCEGOVINA - Bosnia & Herzegovina 2011 - Dino Merlin

here's the esctoday article

Dino Merlin, who represented Bosnia & Herzegovina back in 1999 together with Beatrice Poulot, will try his luck again next year in Düsseldorf. The song will be presented on February 20th.
The entry will be penned by himself, and it could be one of the songs in his forthcoming album, to be released in 2011. The singer, who has participated in an special show on BHT 1 to reveal the country's Eurovision plans for next year, has explained that "this is the best moment" for him to participate in the contest, since he is preparing his new CD.

Bosnia & Herzegovina's Head of Delegation, Dejan Kukric, left the door open for the public televoting in case the artist cannot choose a song: "If the Bosnian representative could not decide between a couple of songs, we can arrange televoting and let the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina choose a song".

Dino Merlin represented Bosnia & Herzegovina back in 1999 in a duet with Beatrice Poulot. They performed the song Putnici, ending up 7th in Jerusalem that year. He also composed the first ever Bosnian entry, Sva bol svijeta, in 1993.

^^^ Med is awesome :D I hope he writes something like "Med".
This is excellent news. I'm so happy now. I like many of his songs, so I expect a great song for ESC 2011. :D

I think Merlin is a good choice for Bosnia;) I'm sure he'll get many 8s, 10s and 12s from around Balkans, juries will like him too.

Oh, eM, Geee!!! :D :shock: I love the idea!! I hope this will be true and I'm sure he will have a great song. Bosnia really wants to win it, I can tell!! :D
"Moj je zivot Svicarska", "Kad si rekla da me volis", "Halima", "Supermen", "Esma", "Kad zamirisu jorgovani", "Med" are just some of his fantastic songs!! :cool:

Well... he does have quite a lot decent songs, and although I am usually for letting younger people go to ESC I think he will do pretty good...
He has a decent career in the Balkan and surrounding so he should get steady 8, 10 and even 12 from the countries here depending on the song...
I assume he will surely go into final... And there he will be in Top 10...

Awesome choice :D I think I even said here that I hope they will give him another chance.

Dino Merlin is one of the biggest stars in ex-yu of all times, and he trully has fantastic songs. "Putnici" was an awesome song as well, and it is one of the best ex-yu entries of all times imo. I am pretty sure this entry will be quite awesome as well :)
