OK, I'm a bit late, but here r my thoughts - I think it's decent, just decent song.
I would love to hear only instrumental (if there is?) lol. Worst part of the song is Zeljko's singing actually, this song requires much stronger vocal, imo (whilst ZJ vocally is only average:twisted. With a powerful singer, song would sound better, but oh well..
The other 'imperfection' is that my experience of the song is - too short. I like intro, but it lasts too long, there is: intro...and termination. Where is the in between??
As for Zeljko - For his own good, he should loose some weight:/ and get a stylist....and wear smth that doesn't make him look even shorter. Everything must look totally different in Baku, that's for sure. I hope for a simple and purified visual expression (no trashy confetti pls, different moves, different look!), with creative performance on stage this can get acceptable for me.
As for the language - I really think he'll sing it in Serbian, as I don't see any other option. His English isn't great, and English lyrics aren't comparable with the original text (it's much better in Serbian and simply goes natural with this song). For me, it is too much of a Balkan style, it can't benefit from English as if it was a rock or pop song. Smth like this naturally goes with native language.
As for the show - I love this format. Best part was that it lasted only for 1,5 hour and no much drama (just enough to hear couple of songs and declare the entry). I'd like if...for example..next year....televotes would decide performer few weeks before the entry announcement, and then RTS will organize presentation of a song in this year's format. Simple and short, no kitsch no drama.
Bottom line, I think song will do OK. I guess it can end up 5th to 10th in the ESC, depends on performance. We probably won't be ashamed and disgraced at this year's ESC. Winning material - definitely not.
I won't give points in this thread.

Thank you
And please, don't compare this song with Lane moje or any of his previous ESC entries. This is new song and new competition.

I thought of that for a while, too.
Nonetheless I believe that he'd do great in Baku.

It's amazing. Very touching song and I prefer Serbian version. Imo it's much better. Don't like English lyrics and it doesn't suit Željko. You can surely expect my and brother's vote in the semi-final

In my opinion this is a solid eurovision song! I would applaud Zeljko's ability to approach each song like it is more than just another pop ballad, this kind of approach keeps a certain level of eurovision songs high. As much as i LOVE fun entries, glitz and sparkle of euro-trash extravaganza, it is without a doubt that songs like Nije Ljubav Stvar are much needed in this competition.
Wish the best of luck to Zeljko and Serbia!!!! great job and thanks for continuing giving us beautiful melodies!
ps: Why some people dislike this song and are so eager to share their negativity - it's beyond me! i'm anything but Zeljko's fan, but i'll support him on this one 100%!
