I don't predict good things for this song, being in semi final 1 wont help either.

 

[Ezio]

He reminds me of Roxxie Andrews.

Putting aside the ridiculousness of picking this when there were *cough* Love Love Love.. much better options *cough* Tijana in pink Divlji vjetre isn't a bad song. It's just a very safe, middling three minutes with a couple of moments. That little shift in melody at the end of each chorus is quite sweet, and then you've got that ridiculous key change. I don't dislike the song at all, but it's hard to get particularly excited for it. We've been here many times before with much more personality attached to the efforts.

5 points.

He would be wonderful drag act though!

As Britney Spears:

I think Matt orgasmed reacting to Kedžo for the first time.

Finally someone who appreciates this beautiful song I really really like it but I fear for its qualification

 

[Puma11]

I saw on several places that people are accusing him for "blackface", only because he participate in that show "your face sounds familiar".
And some people are really persistent in intent to post it everywhere on the web, so everyone can see it.

Nonsense, Kedžo doesn't deserve hate for that.


Blas also participate in same show so I can bet that you can find questionable costumes from him as well.

 

[MalagaToledo]

Kedzo follows man who is like health cover model, but he doesn't like his posts. Mostly pics of that man consist of him being in underwear or half naked. Interesting..

Stupid accusations.

The whole point of "YFSF" is to transform into the artist that you are impersonating, which includes voice, behavior and aesthetic look.

The reason why people find blackface to be offensive in the first place is because black people were depicted through blackface by non black folks in a negative and stereotypical way throughout the past.

However, what Kedžo did has NOTHING to do with that. He wanted to embody the musical artist in both physical and spiritual way.

You can´t just look at the person and immediately cry "RACISM" or "THIS IS OFFENSIVE"!

CONTEXT MATTERS!


EDIT: Even if you see something that might appear racist or offensive to you, DON´T IMMEDIATELY JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS.
Look for context! Look for more information before you decide to make a claim!

 

[Uto]

I fail to see how blackface is racist. I can see how blackface enables racism if you're not depicting someone who happens to be black but a general black person and use stereotypes in that depiction.

 

[CypriotGirl]

Nice to hear an ex-Yugo language again in ESC, although the song isn't anything special. It's a nice, just above average, song.

 

[njdevils94]

Kedžo on the spot covering other ESC songs in this segment.

 

[GRE]

Fingers crossed hoping for a miracle

 

[A-lister]

Are we getting a revamp or studio version of this? Or there is one already?

 

[Petar]

Since revamping songs is a trend, I wouldn't be surprised if this song got one. I like Kedžo and "Divlji vjetre" is a nice song for the radio in the Balkans. Not sure if Europe will care about it in 2020. It's an from me.

I think this is one of the most underrated songs of the year. Shame it has to compete in semi 1. I could totally see it qualifying in semi 2.

Music Video for....

[Alaska49]

[Petar]

This year really needed Indira.

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Of topic, but I just listened to Croatia 1999. It would have been my favorite here in 2020, how wonderful is that?

Robbed queen, should have won!

 

[Citelis]

Croatia was amazing back in the late 90s.
