SERBIA 2011 - Nina - Čaroban

[Scooby]

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

And I think that you are one sweet heart Isabella

I usually prefer native languages in ESC but this song's both versions are good. English version sounds stronger.

Good luck.

To be honest, the last few years I didn't like Serbia's entries, but I really enjoyed this one. It's positive and makes me feel good. She has a nice voice too, but it's definitely not a winning song imo. 6 points.

I'm more convinced than ever that Nina should sing in English. Yes, it's true that Serbia has had some really good results with the Serbian language, but only because it was more sensible that way. This time, given that Nina's English is quite good, this song would have a much wider appeal if sang in English. Serbian lyrics sound completely Magical to me but there's a big chance the song will be more appreciated if people from around Europe (including judges) could understand it, at least partially.

So, If Nina's team read these threads (and I hope they do) be smart guys, and have her sing in English!

I like both versions. Although I think that English version is perfect for promotion.

 

[Scooby]

Nina will sing in Serbian, and thats it. English version is only for promotion!

 

[Scooby]

Nina's promo pictures by RTS, retro is IN

 

[Simon87]

Great pictures!

Number 5 the best one!

 

[r3gg13]

Nina can pull off that retro look really well. What a gorgeous singer

 

[alexa]

She is really a sweetheart!

I quite like the song and I think it works even better in English. It might widen the appeal of it, so I'm not sure why they insist on singing in Serbian? It's not like it's a lame translation that changes completely the original meaning (see Croatia for that).

Because she's proud and not a sell-out!

I have big respect for Serbia in Eurovision as they are the ONLY country so far yet to send English. I think the day Serbia sends English, is the day we have no native languages left in Eurovision.

Applaud to Nina and Serbia! This choice should not be questioned, it should be encouraged imo.

I'm from Serbia and I'm a big supporter of singing in local languages (I'll never forgive Sweden for translating Det gör ont!) - when it suits the song. But this type of retro sound works as well, if not better, in English, and seeing as the translation is actually good (which is rare for Eastern European entries) and her pronunciation is far from criminal, I was just wondering...

Decent write up on http://escaddict.blogspot.com/

 

[Milos-BC]

Thanks for the positive feedback

I personally think the Serbian version is better than English, although both are great, and I think there will be no changes (she will sing in Serbian on ESC) but whatever they decide I'll respect that

Lyrics in Romanian

Mijlocul iernii şi peste tot în gheaţa naibii
Tocmai am avut o zi grea
Oamenii sunt ciudaţi, nimeni nu este conştient de reguli
Casa de sunet Patru sunt obosit
In timp ce sapam prin pungă punga am gasit cheia
Deja pe marginea de nervi
Soarele meu, luna mea, si toate stele
Omul meu îmi deschide
Omul meu e la uşă.

ref:
Şi eu sunt imediat în valoare de o mie de femei
Pentru el, eu sunt frumoasă şi puternică, ca o sâncă
Si atunci cand mă îmbraţişează ştie că totul este în regulă
Omul este magic
Toate întunericule mele în primăvară colorează
în moment ce el mă iubeşte Stau în picioare
Şi îi sunt bună aşa cum sunt
Omul este magic

Rămas bun de la tristeţe, şi zâmbetul meu sanatos
Fericit cu el fiind bucuros
Atat de cald, blând şi frumos al său
El aparţine numai pentru mine
Mult vorbim, el este prietenul meu cel mai bun
Cu el râd, ca o nebună
Oamenii îmi spun că n-au văzut o pereche
Care aşa radiază
Dragostea noastră este contagiosă

This is not at all as good as Milan Stankovic! (According to me he was one of the best in esc 00 - 10)

I cant find anything good in this :S I want milan back!

 

[doctormalisimo]

this is definitely this years grower song. i had to listen to it a few times to really appreciate it. this is the first serbian entry i like since 2007's winner.
