Montenegro MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway - The Real Thing

[Fluke]

Better than Cyprus.

 

[Smudy]

Staging was badass.

 

[ESCada]

The staging was AMAZING, even tho I did not like the vocals .... I honestly think that the taste level among bloggers is really bad or they are being biased.
Montenegro easily had the most music video like staging out of all the contestants tonight. The frames made it seem like a music videos and mind you .... THEY DID NOT USE ROCK-CLIMBING.

 

[Karhu]

The song in studio was already far better than anything else the semi had to offer and the live was, surprisingly, equally brilliant.

It will of course be missed in the final, but I'll never forget this amazing performance ^^

 

[Musicosity]

Likely bad judge here, because it's not my preferred style of music. But it was impressive, they really delivered their message. Too bad it was a message the ESC audience was not quite ready for. But if I were Montenegrin I would not feel ashamed.

 

[LoveHate]

Such a shame that every time Montenegro enters with a song that contributes to a more diverse show (e.g. this one, Igranka, Euro Neuro...) they go home empty handed. If they send a solid, yet forgettable, Balkan ballad it qualifies.

 

[Salmon]

Well hey, this is about the first time that my top favourite of the year didn’t completely mess up the staging and performance, so I’m not too unhappy.

 

[Alevender]

It was good and something different, such a fresh air in the 1 semi. Still points and I was not disappointed with live performance.

 

[WhoKnows]

Better than Cyprus.

It really was. Cyprus song is my second favorite of the year. Montenegro song is my bottom five for the year. But the latter wiped the floor with the first last night. It's a shame they didn't qualify.

 

[Scooby]

Amazing staging did not help Montenegro to qualify cause song is really bad

 

[tuorem]

I really liked their performance tbh. Lots of people talked about what a noisy mess it was, but it was actually a great entry that deserved qualification imo (even though I knew they wouldn't get through).

Besides, I don't get the comparison with Cyprus. Both are different and good in their own way, personally I like both

Great job from Montenegro! Super cool staging as well! "Igranka" and "The Real Thing" were robbed! At least, they had the guts to send contemporary entries whose music genres are refreshing in the contest, please keep on surprising me!

 

[Milos-BC]

Brutally good performance. Definetly a surprise. The song wasn't bad at all to me from the start as I said, but with THIS performance they could have easily made it. Too bad. If they were in the second semi I believe they would've qualified. I think they might have been barely knocked out in the end.

 

[JimmyJump]

This was suprisingly good ! Montenegro shows that a total mess can become in a really great entry ! Those light effects and camera usage was so damn good ! Sadly this didn't qualify. They had definetly the best live performance. I honestly loved it and also voted for this ! I think this got as robbed as Igranka !

 

[escfreak]

The live performance was really good. I am really curious about Montenegro's place. I am pretty sure it wasn't Bottom 3.

 

[nikolay_BG]

The performance was bombastic. The only thing it needed was a good song imo. Sorry.

 

[JimmyJump]

If they had to perform in the 2nd semi final, it would maybe have passed !

 

[Sammy]

If they had to perform in the 2nd semi final, it would maybe have passed !

Well, I think they share the target audience with Georgia this year, and I doubt that this group would have been powerful enough to put both through. In the worst case, they would have split their votes and none of them would have qualified...

 

[cgorac]

I was skeptical about about there song when i first heard it and it has grown on me and there performance in the Semi was
Excellent and they deserved to be in the final at the least.

 

[Dutchball]

They got 13th in sf1.
It was However the televoting and not juries that killed them. They were 17th in the televoting.

 

[SirPeterGriffin]

Wow, unlike what people would think it was the juries who tried to push Montenegro. Once again, they proved they are a lot better than the usual narrow minded people of the televoting. Montenegro should've easily qualified to the final replacing Austria's childish song...
