SERBIA 2012 - Željko Joksimović - Nije ljubav stvar

[A-lister]

I've listened it about 100 times and I like English version more, even though I'm for countries to sing in their own language.

I think we're just gonna act like we didn't see this comment

Ah, a Balkan-ballade, I love those, they are so wonderfully cheezy! 7 points, and hoping for candles on a grand piano in the final

God no, it's not Lithuania 2011
And they are not cheesy, they are creamy and spicy

Yeah, what's cheesy about them??

Balkan ballads are the best! If people want cheese-ballads they should check out Lithuania or Austria 2011

i kinda like both versions: English and Serbian.
His English is good, it's not as bad as people here like to exaggerate.. Although i have a problem with lyrics in English, it's waaaay too dramatic
"Too bad, too late to blow my head
Baby, leave the love and go
Take tomorrow, take it all
I must live, but God knows why
It is my turn to cry
Too late to die" - c'mon...

It is bad! This should stay in Serbian period, no exaggerating.

You know for every 1/100 who expresses support for the English version, he and his team will listen more to those minority voices than the majority, so be careful what you wish for

LOL, A-lister, do u really believe he and his team would read comments on forums? Who has time for that...except...us

As for 'Synonym', I wouldn't call it cheesy (for me cheesy would be about eternal love, forever, together, bla bla), but I would call it weird and creepy, perhaps worse then cheesy
The funny thing is that Serbian lyrics doesn't sound anything like that and meaning is different. It's like the woman who wrote 'Synonym' had suicide on her mind

Actually I believe that there are people from most ESC teams looking around the forums, maybe not himself, but someone for sure.

1000% they do!!!!!

^Oh, would be great if they do, but I'm not that enthusiastic:/

 

[lamandza]

but why are you sure they listen to the minority instead of majority?

We've had cases in the past where there have been changes made just because of public opinion, so why not this year?

Of course someone from their team try to see what the public think, don't believe otherwise.

English lyrics were written by man who writed english version of Molitva, that woman doesnt exist btw

 

[A-lister]

but why are you sure they listen to the minority instead of majority?

Because everyone are so blinded with the concept of English nowadays that they already have this mindset and therefor they pay more attention to the few stand-out opinions.

This is normal psychology. If you already convinced yourself about something, you're going to look for confirmation on this rather than what most people tend to think.

Molitva in English is even worse than original form, so why they even think of doing this one in English is beyond me?

 

[Simon87]

Yes I agree
