Slovenia SLOVENIA 2014 - Tinkara Kovač - Spet (Round & Round)

[Joni]

Well they have had some pretty interesting songs if I remember correctly, I liked 2012 for example (how was that last in the semi?) 2013 sucked though.

Hmmm but Slovenia doesn't have many supporters when it comes to voting, in 2012 "Verjamem" was written my Vladimir Graijic from Serbia, who was composer of our winning entry "Molitva" in Helsinki 2007, but it wasn't that great..IMO..it was like "Molitva light" as we can say..singer wasn't able to present it in the best way somehow.. when I mentioned Helsinki, you are from Helsinki?

Not many supporters, ex-YU countries don't support them much then? Yes maybe the performance wasn't really that good in 2012, I liked the song though, kinda mystical touch in it. Nope not from Helsinki, southern Finland though.

Well Ex Yugo is almost as one market, majority of singers who represented Serbia were popular in all Ex Yugo countries, the same goes for others, but Slovenia is exception, Slovenian singers are not popular and known in Serbia at all, while vice versa is different, Serbiqn singes are popular in Slovenia..that explains smth.. I will just tel you the info that this year Montenegrin and Macedonian representatives actually live in Belgrade..they have their careers here in Serbia almost bigger than in MNE and MAC.. Slovenian singers are not popular in other Es Yugo countries.

For example Nina Badric (CRO), Zeljko Joksimovic (SRB), Rambo Amadeus (MNE), Kaliopi (MKD), Hari Mata Hari (BIH), Boris Novkovic (CRO), Severina (CRO), Marija Serifovic (SRB), Karolina Goceva (MKD) are big in all EX yugo countries!

Interesting. So Tinkara is not popular or well-known in other ex-yugo countries? Who would you say is the closest "buddy country" of Slovenia?

Croatia is..

Tinkara is not known in other ex Yugo countries, but is known in Slovenia, I have heard for the first time for her this year in Slovenian NF..

But Slovenian televoting will vote for MNE a lot in semi, probably with 12 points and I'm 80% jury will give him 12 so MNE will get 12 from SLO in semi 90 % IMO..

 

[Mrm]

Oooops i made mistake SLO and MNE not in the same semi..hmm then nth about that..only if he reaches the final somehow..

 

[Joni]

What about the non-ex-yugo countries around Slovenia? Austria, Hungary, Italy (just checking the map here), are they good pals with Slovenia?

There is some small diaspora in Hungary and Austria (Karnten), actually it's not diaspora it's like minority..but that doesn't have big impact, and friendly votes - NO, Slovenia is Slavic country, Italy - Romani, Hungary - Fino Ugric, Austria - Germanic.. all are different LOL , they vote Slovenia only if they like he song and jury as well..so thee isn't any special help in advantage..only if our big Serbian diaspora votes Slovenia, but i doubt, if they will watch ESC they will vote Montenegro..cause it's in Serbian/Montenegrin language..

It's like Swedes in Finland, not diaspora but minority living there for ages..

 

[Joni]

So poor Slovenia is kind of a lonely country...

Yeah it is..but we help it (from other Ex Yugo), but muuuuuch less than we help other Ex Yugo countries..

 

[Joni]

The situation is a bit similar here. We belong to the Nordic block but not as closely as Sweden, Norway and Denmark - mainly because our language is totally different from theirs and they don't understand one word of Finnish.

Yeah but you usually sing in English..so it helps a bit..

 

[Joni]

Yes it does, if we sing in Finnish we only get points from Sweden (where there are half a million Finns) and Estonia of course. Ok, enough off-topic..

Good night [MENTION=9774]Joni[/MENTION]..

Manca Spik is AWESOME backing vocalist!

Slovenia MUST qualify..

Where is the new official video?

 

[Mrm]

Good draw, number 14!

Go to the final, on the wings of MAGICAL flute sound!

 

[Iuris]

Ok, I know Slovenia isn't sooo high in my top -for the time being, because I'm sure this will go up- but I think Tinkara will be in the Grand Final, and I'll be glad of it. Slovenia deserves it.
