North Macedonia FYR MACEDONIA 2014 - Tijana Dapčević - To the sky

[Scooby]

This is not what I expected from Tijana cause I know she can do much better that classical euro trash pop.
However, even this song is not my cup of tea I wish all the best to our neighbours. From me 5 points.

Surely if Ace Wilder sang it for Sweden it would be top 5 in the polls and top 5 in the odds! Maybe people are shocked that Macedonia picked a western-sounding song that is modern (unlike say 2009 or 2011), so they can't grasp that yet?

They picked something modern? I fail to see what's modern about this - the song is bland, sounding like a blast from the past, and the arrangement does absolutely nothing to lift it.
It seems like Tijana is a far better singer than her song, and she should probably sing a different genre as well. This just doesn't work at all, especially with Tijana looking really awkward on stage.

I will concede that it only sounded mediocre at first, but the more I heard of it, the less I liked it. It may have an advantage in that the first listening sounds the best, but I don't think it'll take Tijana very far.

Gotta agree, unfortunately I don't find anything modern in this song. It's quite empty, it's missing a proper hook, a memorable chorus and has not the catchiness it needs to be remembered. Tijana indeed deserved a stronger song, she's a capable singer and has quite the personality. But I'm afraid that's not going to be enough

^I agree with the above. Strange though, on first listen I didn't mind this one but from the second listen onwards it started to grate on me, and for me it sounds dated.

Video looks good, well at least she's styled better! My sister kept on arguing that she's a man, now hopefully I can prove her wrong!!

I see it being one of those songs that a lot of people consider nice but wouldn't have in their top 10.

That's definitely it for me. I like it, and I had it in my top 10 for a while, but it's been edged out by a few other songs for now, and is currently sitting around 11th or 12th or something.

 

[Yamarus]

I agree with everyone above. I should be liking this song but it is actually pretty weak and definitely not catchy at all. It was in my top 10 some time ago but it has now fallen significantly to nr 27!!

I disagree! Blast from the past? 70s? 80s? 90s? Really? The arrangement is pretty good actually. The chorus could've been stronger yes! Anyway, this works better in the clubs to party on, than putting it on repeat at home and jizzing on it.

It's leading in the direction of the video of "cvet z juga" no 3

You mean, going to a randomly picked hotel room, huging white roses there and testing the quality of the sheets ?

I wish there was a dislike button next to "like" instead.

Is this a music video for Tijana's Eurovision song or is she simply using the budget as an excuse to play out her fantasies This latest picture above looks like their acting out a scene from Armageddon
