The lead singer's voice really puts me off.

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway - Real Thing

Cyprus is one of 2 songs this year that I actually love. I will not stand for you insulting it in such a way, Sir. xnaughty

It's probably in my bottom 5..



Oh well, at least we have a couple we love. I now have three thanks to my late love of Albania. Thank you Montenegrin show for the small clip of the song that made me realize how much arse the chorus kicks out of near enough all the other songs revealed so far this year.

okay, it sounds so much better in the videoclip but I still don't exactly like it. Georgia is 1000x better.

OK so the music video on youtube sounds better, but the cheap keyboard effects ruin it totally. Chorus isn't bad, but like I said, I HATE his voice.

Not in a million years is this qualifying. Whether you like the song or not, this just isn't making it.

Absolutely horrible and unlistenable song, in comparison even "Igranka" sounds like a masterpiece.

Now this was a positive surprise. :eek: I expected some boring boy band song, got a pretty interesting piece instead. Probably a grower, but sounds convincing on the first listen.

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway - Real Thing

after another listen i don't hate it but the lyrics are just completely putting me off, they're so obnoxiously repetitive that i can't focus on anything else.

Well it depends on draw, performance and how well the other ex-yus are doing.

If this gets a late draw, like 18 and last, which is not impossible, then this gets an advantage by that. If it also isn't looking amaturish on stage and instead looks cool, then I can totally see this get a lot of televoting. Add as well if Croatia brings a bad song (they have a strong singer though...) and if Bosnia looks too messy on stage with their decent entry, then maybe they could win the ex-yu votes in that semi. I also believe that max two ex-yu countries will qualify and so one of these three will be out, and it can be Montenegro, but it is not totally certain.

The juries might kill this though and give this very little points, it might be too extreme for them, but overall, I believe it is not 100% sure that they are out. ;)

Re: MONTENEGRO 2016 - Highway - Real Thing

It's actually alright. The pop/electronic elements come across more naturally than they do in the Cypriot entry. The chorus also rocks hard enough for my liking. Still i'm not entirely sold on the song. This isn't music i'd choose to listen to of my own accord. I do really like the chorus though. Hmmm, this is ok. I actually don't dislike it, which is quite some achievement, considering what a harsh critic I am with all the *ahem* "rock" we get at Eurovisionxsnooty This is listenable.

6 points.
