Top notch NF from Serbia, insane production value. From the sound to the camera work to the stagings, much thought went into these and you definitely noticed.
Filip was my favourite, but I am not unhappy about Luke. Another brave, off the beaten path entry from Serbia, although I have a hard time understanding him without subtitles, sometimes even wondering if he sings in English or Serbian (Dok svet gori – Don't sweat girly?
). Overall great choice however, very engaging performance. Should have no trouble qualifying and doing well in the Grand Final

This song is a potential winner to me. I listened to this song on repeat today and it's such a moment. The performance is amazing too. And I just love his personality. I'm rooting for Serbia now, too.
Tried to listen that few more times, but... Sorry, can't connect to this song at all. from me at this point.
Can't catch anything memorable in it. I'm afraid, neither does an average ESC viewer seeing it first time. Just - can't see the WOW effect.

This song has the WOW effect for me, but maybe our brains are wired differently and that's why you're not receptive to it.
Maybe listen to it on good headphones, for me it's a blast! Just a mindblowing effect once the beat gets harder in the 2nd part of the song and I like the whole eerie vibe that Samo mi se spava is oozing from every note. But in particular when there are moments of distortion in the sound.
Well, I totally agree with you on that part, the BEAT is really good!
I'll give that song few more tries, maybe it might be a slow grower for me

I wonder if the WOW effect (which the song had undoubtedly on me too) will last on stage in May. I don’t like the staging much, to be honest. I mean it’s not bad but I don’t like stagings that’s half a theatre play. But the song is such a darn masterpiece.

It all comes down to the following - does the instrumental have a strong enough captivating quality to overrule the rather cringy "Little Monster pretentious fanfic" vibe that this is also giving? And the answer is yes, yes it does.It goes hard and it slaps. If it catches on, I could see this doing well with both televoting and juries, secretly rooting for it to happen.

Oh I just realized that I didn't rank this yet. Well I was really interested in the song when the studio version was released but this became one of the biggest faders of the season for me. It feels more like a lot of of noise than a good song right now. I'll give it points

Big fan from Australia!
This is like nothing else from the first note. My kind of music. Serbia impresses. Give my love to Konstrukta. Lots of love from Australia. I love you. Please also defend Ukraine.
Stop being so cool! Love!

12 points from me, I do enjoy the moody entries.
Anyone else worried that this will NQ? I think it's safe but SF1 is a bloodbath

I was worried when it got chosen but it turned around for me, i believe this will have quite good support.

It is an interesting and much different vibe compared to the rest of the contest - similar to last year.
Not sure it'll do as well as last year, but I applaud the experimentation of it all.
Good luck, Serbia.

I only hope they‘ll have good staging (like in the NF - minus the cables and shell ) otherwise it could be in danger. I really hope this is doing well, the Eurovision stage has so much potential to even elevate the song. I want this masterpiece to blow away the audience.
