Today at the ESC kompakt songchecks 2024 - 
esc-kompakt.de
The verdict of the bloggers:
Benny - Not a bad ballad, but sadly it´s babbling a bit without a climax. Only at the end there´s a small increase. I like that the song is relatively modern , but the Balkan elements that pop up from time to time could have stood out more for me.
Berenike - I had to warm up first with the song but now I like it a lot. It´s emotionally honest, also due to Teya Doras beatiful deep and slighty nasal voice that doesn´t need any screaming and unnecessary vocal acrobatics. I also like how the song builds up throug a climax due to the use of choir and drums.
Douze Points - Not a Balkan ballad, not an electronic ballad. What´s it instead?? Teya Doras fragile breathing voice drives me crazy. And then this redundant "Lilac ramonda". More than aren´t possible.
Flo - In a year dominated by many fast-paced Teya Dora can probably be a reasonable success. Her performance in the national final has shown that she creates a deep feeling and transports many emotions. With the starting, but not overboarding beat it becomes at the last chorus it becomes well-rounded.
Manu - Beautiful melody, pleasant song structure, nice cultural message and no unnecessary vocal acrobatics - I like "Ramonda". Due to the fact that Serbia starts in the first half of the first semi final, but at least Slovenia and Portugal could appeal to a similar audience in the second half, I don´t rule out the possible fate of of a surprising failure, that for example in 2017 the Finish entry "Blackbird" suffered. Fingers crossed -.
Max - What can I say. A lot of things come together here: A strong and modern Balkan ballad I've been missing for a while now. Plus Teya Dora's special aura totally captivates me. The song has depth. As I mentioned above, Teya Dora sings about the Serbian rock plate, a flower that has great meaning for the country. The song really grabbed me, although ballads actually have a hard time for me. I have no choice:
Peter - This is another entry that demands a strong and memorable staging, since the instant appeal is little and the melody is also more for a musical crawl up. There are four plus points: Distinctive due to the national language, Teyas strong and memorable voice, the fancrowd that´s already there due to "Džanum" and the fact that in 2024 not that many power ballads are competing.
Rick - It´s somehow almost disappointing to get such a "normal" entry entry from Serbia after Konstrakta and Luke Black. On the other side I think it´s good to not always doing the same every year. Teya is a known name in the Balkan nation and you can´t deny her artistical ability. But somehow the song is missing something for me since the chorus is really monotonous. I kinda liked the staging in the national final though. So it´s quite ok but when it comes to qualifying for the ESC final it´s insecure for me.

Damn, #2. I'm sleeping so much on this entry, but I'm sure it will qualify: around 22 points are guaranteed because there are Slovenia and Croatia.
I have just discovered Konstrakta was also competing this year. I can kind of get why she did not make it. Staging was practically the same as 3 years ago, though the song is really catchy and the lyrics are just as humorous. I also found out about the point system of the national final but it falls very flat. It needs some changes to it because that way is not the best to determine the right placing.

I have discovered "Gnezdo orlovo" and can't believe how it didn't win. And I checked: of course one person from jury ruined the whole voting.
RIP to all NF second place entries that are moral winners [*]

A slow, but also a bit dynamic song with a somber tone to it alongside a powerful chorus... It does tick some boxes for me. There is something still lacking though and I can't put my finger on it. When listening to it, I do enjoy the emotional journey it takes me on, but once it's over... I don't know. It just slowly fades away from my mind. So I'm a bit hesitant to give this higher points at the moment.

Nothing really happening in the first 1:20. Then the chorus comes, and it's fine, but not particularly sophisticated. She does put a lot of effort into it though. I was thinking about giving it more than a 4, but ... nah. Too little impact.

Raising from 4 to 8. I am sold.
Only downvote... The songs take too much time to develop. For me it is good because it gives chills, but I am pretty sure that some demographics will be bored after all.

That's their fault.
Like this mindset that a song needs to catch someone from the beginning is destroying music.

Staging for Teya Dora seems to have been really enhanced and amplified from the NF. Biggest grower for me from Day 1 of rehearsals. (Ukraine is already my number 1 so I couldn't call it a grower despite how stunning it looks.)

This is actually a very good song yet I can only give it six points. The song is supposed (from what I feel, I don’t understand the language) to be sad but Teya Dora looks and sings like an annoyed teenage emo 2006. She keeps this 'face' the whole time and I get why she serves this look but hey, didn’t she get the memo she is allowed to have fun during the Eurovision season?
Plus the staging for the song feels pretty uninspired. I can’t believe this is the best they came up with. The bursting circle at the floor is bothering me. How many times has this 'item' been overused? It doesn’t get better with any other use. Same goes for the rock. She is barely visible on top of it, she blends in seamlessly, almost like a chama-chameleon (da da da da), chama-chameleon. (Uh, I hated that song back then but comparing it to all the songs we‘ve got since then that one was pretty creative actually, in retrospect.)
