I am actually starting to like this quite a lot. In the absence of any strong ballads I think it could do well. In the original live version I thought she struggled vocally towards the end but on the live English version I didn't see evidence of this. A certain finalist and probable top ten maybe edging into the top 5. The reason I don't think it will do any better than that is because it is a 'grower' and for the majority of viewers they won't have seen or heard it more than once /twice.

Actually I have such a feature...After listening the song in original, it's hard to me to get used to English version. Why not to release he song in English immediatly?! But in common the song is great. I'm sure it will be in Top10 this year

Maybe because the 'live' English presentation was in fact just miming to a recording.
I preferred the original live NF version. This is too toned down for my liking. We have lost the impact of the backing singers on the 'nekaj' bit and 'tvoja, tvoja, tvoja etc' needs to be put back in stat.

Here you have it:
You won EMA 2011. Was that a surprise for you?
Everyone who competes gets a hope, but honestly – no I did not expect that I can win. I would like to say thanks to the people of Slovenia for their support. It is a great honor and pleasure to represent Slovenia in ESC 2011.
Your song got a good feedback from the eurofans. Are you confident that you can obtain a good result?
ESC is not the Olympics, so I want the best possible outcome. This is a competition, isn’t it? Well, I’m realistic. I know that dreams are achievable, but maybe not at this moment. I apreciate the support from the Eurofans, but I don’t worry about the result. It will be enough time to do this in Düsseldorf.
Last time Slovenia reached the Eurovision Final in 2007. Since then the results went from bad to worse. Do you think you can break the streak of bad luck and qualify?
I have number 13! That number is magical, and definitely gets into the Final!
Will ,,No one” have an official video? When will it be filmed? What will be the story behind the video?
Yes, it will. Next week we are going to start. It is about the ever present triangle of love and insincerity between a woman and a man. Vanilla is the smell of an unknown woman (No one) who comes between two lovers. They both know that this smell is strong enough to break them apart, but they don’t want to admit it.
Can you reveal something from the show you are preparing for Dusseldorf?
All singers are probably preparing something special, something which would attract people’s attention. Well, my team is also creating something in this direction, but let it remain a secret.
You will compete in the second Semifinal. What do you think about that? Is it an advantage or you would’ve prefered the first Semifinal?
It is a very strong group. It has many potential winners. This will be a beautiful and exciting evening. It doesn’t matter in which semifinal I am. There are no speculations and calculations. If my song is good enough, it will go to the Final; if not….. we remain in the Semifinals.
Have you listened to the other competing songs? Which ones do you like?
I have followed them, but unfortunately not very precise. Lately my life has changed so completely and there is not a lot of spare time. I am focused on the second semi-final, so I can only say that the competition is very strong and interesting. Favorites? Hopefully people like the scent of Vanilla, or don’t they?
What do you think about the Romanian song for Eurovision 2011?
Hotel FM with Change is one of the favorite songs in Slovenia. It is in top 5 according to my sister’s list of possible winners. Therefore – You hit the heart and I wish you good luck! I wish them a flawless performance and hope to see them in the Saturday finale, of course.
We know you will take part at Eurovision in Concert on the 9th of April in The Netherlands. Will you visit other countries on your promo tour?
I hope so! I am going to former Yugoslav Republics, Germany and The Netherlands so far.
Besides a win or a good position in Eurovision what other expectations do you have from this participation?
- Meet new interesting people
– Get in new relationships
– Enjoy every moment
- Have fun
Leaving Eurovision aside, what should your fans from Romania know about your music career?
My actual music career has only just begun and there are so many options in front of me. Many possibilities, a few different strategies, but everything is still open. I have a CD on the way that will appear after ESC 2011. Otherwise, we will see. After all, I only have 19 years.
In the end, do you have a message for your Romanian fans?
Be proud of your song and support Romanian music as much as you can. You have a lot of good dance music that caresses the soul and we love even in Slovenia (e.g. Dj Sava ft. Raluka, Chris Mayer, ….).
