I say this almost never, but the English version of this song has more wow factor than the Serbian version. The English lyrics is just great, and it completes the retro feel of the song. I love it :D

Yup, English version is a bit better, but I still think the Serbian entrys has been way better previous years, even Marko Kon, which I think was really cool :)

The thing I love about Serbia is their courage to send out of the box songs. Marko Kon, Milan were definitely amazing in that they are unlike any other songs of their respective years. I love those songs so much. Also, their crazy hair ;)

I prefer Serbian version, although lyrics in English r done very well (almost same meaning like Serbian lyrics), in Serbian it sounds more smoothly and original (since song won in Serbian). I don't mind if we use English as long as Eng version would be much better and if song win in English.
I'd also like that one day we send song in some of our minorities language - Hungarian, Slovak, Romanian...whatever language...
And song in Roma (Gypsy) language would be awesome one day:D(I think nobody done it so far in the ESC):cool:

I think the english version is much better...Even if I like it in Serbian, I find it much more messy. I also think it is more likely to go better in English, since the Serbian version can scare away some of the western countries..

Why not 50/50 then? :p

Why scare?

Are westerners just watching Eurovision to hear English? That's sad.

Serbian sounds nice.

Eurovision spirit is dead for sure.

^Yes, I remember Gypsy.cz, I liked that song, but it was in English.
There were only 2 Roma words - Aven Romale.

I hated that song from the bottom of my heart :lol:

Yeah, maybe it were hmm. I didn't pay much attention to it since it was truly bad.

Anyways if you separate "Ca" from "roban" then in Swedish it would be "Tja Robban" which is like "Hi Rob" :lol:

Bland and musically forgettable.Visually,I think they have the advantage of imitating the 60's,however there is nothing impressive about this entry. I tried listening to the song few times,and it is definitely not my cup of tea. Good luck Serbia.

I'm surprised how English version kept nice lyrics. Both versions are really great.
I think you will pass to the final neighbours :D
