Nope, she doesn't hide a peepee in her skirt and the song lacks clever lyrics and charmCould this mean that her song is gonna become a huge classic in Slovenia like "Samo ljubezen" did?

The queen has rehearsed once again
is she praying for a Miracle or something? Maybe Samra can help.
I'm one of the few who actually like the song, but seriously, what epic failure with the staging. That gymnast person is completely pointless, I don't know what he adds to it, but hes distracting from the actual song. This praying pose shes doing I don't even understand. They need to get rid of the gymnasts have the performance like how it was at the NF, it's a massive step down.
it's funny how this article says that she fights for the qualification while in reality she's 2nd last at oddschecker

It's obviously a non-contender, but after seeing the rehearsal I started to like the song. It's not so bad, and her style of performing is quite nice. The acrobat is good for nothing though, I wonder why those gimmicks are still in use. But I do not completely write her off for qualifying.

ManuElla thought that it's not a good idea to copy only Taylor Swift, that's why she decided to add some "oximated" flavor

What face? I didn't see it (because I don't watch videos of rehearsals, but you got me curious now).
I guess this is one of those songs that you listen and just don't even bother to react. Really nothing to say here, it is completely flat and monotone. I think it is the weakest ex-yu song this year, and quite possibly one of the weakest Slovenian entries as well. No final here.

I agree with you that our entry is bland, however, I really have to disagree that it is the worst of all ex-Yu entries... Come on, Montenegro? Macedonia? Even Bosnia is not a musical over-achievement... In fact, whatever we may think of our Mozarella, in this really poor semi final she actually stands chances of qualifying tonight. For now, I can see only 4 sure qualifiers (Bulgaria, Serbia, Ukraine, and Belgium), the rest is in for the fight tonight. Some good songs were ruined by horrible staging, some other with horrible look changes... Basically, whereas everyone knew before semi final 1 that San Marino would never qualify, here, in this semi, everyone has a chance. And this will make the whole evening really exciting, because it is simply too unpredictable... Have fun tonight, and enjoy relaxed. Serbia is in the finals

I agree with this, in the sense that many people completely discard Slovenia's chances of qualifying, but I can actually see you making it in 7th-10th.
I really don't think the song deserves all the hate it gets among eurovision fans as well.

Hm, I don't think our Mozarella girl is actually getting hatred from fans. To me, it seems more that no one actually cares... Is it justified or not? I don't know, but I really find it amusing that many commentators in YT say that our entry is their guilty pleasure
But otherwise, yes, we will have very interesting evening when it will be revealed who is advancing and who is not Enjoy it!

Well, you never know. I've thought the same about the Austrian Zoe, but to my surprise, the whole Europe likes her and her childish song as it was one of the best scoring entries from the first semi final in the iTunes. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see if she was actually second or third in that semifinal.
