Slovenia SLOVENIA 2016 - ManuElla - Blue and Red

[tuorem]

In the meantime...

Damn Slovenija, you would have been in my top 10 again for sure.

Frankly considering how piss-poor this year is, I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up higher than Maraaya. Which I wouldn't lke, since the song is no where near as good as Here for you.

If y'all feel the need of posting videos of non-winning EMA-participants, just post videos about Regina, Nuša or Anja Baš, thank you.

OMG, ManuSlélla has a song with the title in Italian, so nice of her to think to her Italian fans like me

(...)since the song is no where near as good as Here for you.

"Here For You" was my absolute favourite in 2015. I listened to every version of it, watched every youtube-video, even made a Maraaya-signature for the forum here. Was very disappointed with rank 14 in the final.
Votings and discussions around the internet at this point of time indicate that ManuElla will probably not even reach the final. I agree with you, CatEye, that "Blue and Red" is not as good as "Here For You" but I still think it is highly underrated and I am far from giving up hope. Personally I think that the Slovenian song is much better than (for example) the entries from Latvia or Estonia which I find boring and completely overrated. (Those two countries also had much better songs in 2015, by the way.)
So good luck to Slovenia and ManuElla, I cross my fingers for reaching the final after all.

Finally, here is a little interview from the ESCKAZ channel. ManuElla really seems to be a very likeable character:

She can certainly deliver, can't she?

and so does Tinkara Kovač

I do find this song a bore. It's dull to me.

 

[Sammy]

Her bodylanguage doesn't match the lyrics. It's a mixture of random gestures, poses and looks that unexpetienced performers think they should do. No authenticiy here....
To even try to compare this to "Here for you" is an epic fail. It's like comparing a five star dinner to a hamburger. Well, of course some pople would prefer a hamburger, but that's obviously a question of taste...

I think that there was a misunderstanding. My comment was meant at Raiven, who would have ended in the top of the juries for sure and could have ended higher than maraaya, considering how much the juries love to wank over vocal exercises.
MozzarElla will finish in the bottom 2 of the semi, because the song is lame and forgettable, she isn't a good singer and she comes across as a cheap Taylor Swift wannabe.

Oh, I see...
But to stay in the metaphore, Raven would still have been perhaps a decent middleclass restaurant meal (at least for my taste)

 

[GianlucaTomoe]

What is "Here for you"? Oh wait, I know, it's just yet another Slovenian fanwank which flopped in the televoting.

And to everybody who keeps saying that the Slovenian 2016 entry (which is not Raiven's song) is lame and forgettable: maybe you are confusing yourself and you're describing the Slovenian 2012 entry instead.

 

[Sammy]

As I said - some love hamburgers

 

[CatEye]

As I said - some love hamburgers

Especially if azeite was used in said hamburgers

 

[GianlucaTomoe]

Well, at least oiled hamburgers have some substance in it, something that can't be said for a certain kind of "artsy-fartsy" cuisine. The same applies to music

The current results at ESC tell a different story

 

[GianlucaTomoe]

OMG!! In a few days, the video of the song will be released!!

 

[tuorem]

I've heard the song was originally entitled: "Dull As Dishwater". Don't know why they changed it for "Blue And Red" Too evocative maybe!
