Montenegro MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway - The Real Thing

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway

That's a relief . At least, Montenegro won't send a montenegrin song that makes us sleepy after 2 years. I mean, I can not see a single difference between 2014 & 2015 entries of Montenegro. And I expected them to do the same thing for the 3rd year just because they managed to qualify.

Couldn't they have waited a couple months to release this?

https://youtube.com/watch?v=3k94Npdi7Z8 Oh no...I know I'm supposed to be the one who's actually enthused about them, but they could deliver a pretty iconic crap of a performance if it goes like it did here

I am relieved because they will stay, but not delighted with this choise.

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway

I am ambivalent about these chaps. Their performances don't really stand out for me, but I have yet to see anything I dislike. Let's hope that whatever they send to Eurovision builds on what they've done hitherto!

BTW, one fun fact - Luka Vojvodić is the son of Rade Vojvodić, general director of RTCG. Family bussines strikes again!

And RTCG - for 2017, please!

Their performances that we can find on the internet, I don"t like, their style of music I do.

I hope for a similar song but with a better performance

Well, according to some "reliable sources" (3) Montenegro wasn't certain even to participate. And now they are the second to announce their representatives.
As I said.... much ado about nothing.
Now for the choice: I don't understand why some here are not happy with the group. They seem to be skilled musicians, especially the lead-singer has a good stage presence and is can surely connect with the audience. They probably will not choose a ballad, so with the right, modern song, I can see Montenegro qualify this year.

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway

Depressed, I want my Balkan ballad....Knez, please come back. Not too impressed with HIghway's music but hopefully they'll come up with something that's a bit more accessible to the rest of the world.

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway

I was following X-Factor Adria regularly and although those guys were favored by public, they never impressed me with their music style and way of singing. I'm skeptic about their song in Stockholm and when speaking about Montenegrin talents from X-Factor Adria, Milan Bukilic definitely would be MUCH better choice. But as [MENTION=13021]PamSwynford[/MENTION] pointed well, family business worked well for Higway Trio...

In eurovision themed night they totally ruined Zauvijek moja, but yet were favored by public...

Only hope for them I see in possibility that their X-Factor Adria's mentor, music mag, Tonci Huljic make song for them. If someone knows what is eurovision, Huljic is (one of) the best one in ex-Yu region. Furthermore, if someone knows what type of song suits what artist, yet again, Huljic is (definitely!!) the best one! So, if he will make song for them, that song will be 1) for eurovision and will 2) suit them so it actually will sound nice in the end. Also, Huljic collaborated with Montenegro for eurovision, making new (much better) arrangement for Zauvijek moja for eurovision in Kiev in 2005. First version of Zauvijek moja was very "poor" and bland but Huljic made that amazing dramatic arrangement that we all seen in night of performance.

I'm sorry, but they sound really awful! :?

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway

:? I guess it's a DNQ already; they need a miracle for an amazing song, but they even killed Zauvijek moja, so dunno. Sigh. What's with all these X-factor stars?

After the first video I saw, I was pretty confident about the boys, but apparently, that was too soon. Should have seen this one! OMG! Either they really had a bad day or there is a lot of work to do for them....

I think we're in for a surprise actually. ^^

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway

I've quite liked Montenegro over the last few years but these videos being linked really give me very little hope for them next year. As other people are saying, I think they'll need an absolutely great song to even make it through the semis; if they send what they've been performing so far, I can't see them ending outside the bottom 2 of their semi, at best.

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway

I don't know how can I be hopeful about this trio... I really don't like them, their style, their music. Awful choice. We have to listen to the song, right, but I don't think we'll have a masterpiece from Montenegro and I can already see them staying in the semis, again. :?

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway

Never forget.

(Though yes, I know, Montenegro is not Belgium and probably won't send the three of them to Finland, so to speak.)

So you're saying they're going to send a masterpiece? A tad confused here!

I got your point but I think that in this case we need a miracle
