Re: SERBIA 2019
The second evening was also pretty nice, just like the first. And again, someone disappointed, someone surprised (positively) and someone managed to deliver what was expected from them.
Here are the impressions about the songs:
1.
Sanya D Rio - I actually like this song, but not in an ESC context. The background was nice, but nothing could save them from elimination.
2.
Majdan - Very good! I saw them as potential wildcards and they were really good. Absolutely deserved qualification.
3.
Goga Stanic - Unexpected failure for me. I was sure that she will make it through. However, I have to be honest, she wasn't good at all. I believe the juries "killed" her.
4.
Ana Popovic - One of the few songs that I really didn't like but one can't deny that this is pure quality. She probably ended very high in jury voting and it was enough for the final.
5.
Lord - I would prefer a more dynamic staging, but he was still pretty good. The song is still my guilty pleasure and one of my favorites
6.
Nevena Bozovic - She was beyond amazing. In fact, she left the best impression out of all semi 2 performers. She didn't try anything "exotic" and she just did what she does best. I wouldn't mind to see her winning.
7.
Gypsykord - They ruined every chance for a decent result with this staging. Deserved elimination even though the song is quite catchy.
8.
Jana Sustersic - Very bland song in the studio version but the performance was top-notch. Her vocals are truly amazing. She has no chances to win but this is a success as well.
9.
Lana & Aldo - Well...they were entertaining at least
I liked their last year's entry better.
10.
Dzenan Loncarevic - Personally, I didn't like the staging. This type of staging can be done diferently and with more style. This was not good. However, the staging will certainly change if he wins so it's not a major concern. He was top-notch vocally and he still has the best song (for me) in this bunch. So, he is still my #1 favorite.
11.
Tina & Lola Amvon - Quite bland. The song is not that bad, but it's too dated for this type of competition right now. It was obvious that they have no chance at all.
12.
Tamara Milanovic - I thought the juries will push her through, but I am not sad that I was wrong. The song is extremely boring and she had no place in the final. She deserves a better song than this.
So, Dzenan, Nevena, and Wonder Strings and three best options that we have right now. Saska has no chances anymore and she is the only one responsible for it. I will vote for Dzenan as he has the best song out of these three, but I will be happy with all three songs as winners at the end.
