Slovenia SLOVENIA 2019 - Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl - Sebi

[elanyvx]

Ok now it is clear that Raiven will never win with televoting, so either she is chosen internally or only by juries, or mix televoting with jury.

This is a really disappointing choice considering what was there. I can easily appreciate understated music but I like to feel something or at least be able to hang on some distinguishable vibe. My first impression of Sebi is "this is very mid". I couldn't call a song like this bad but I've got zero interest in going back to it. I don't quite understand how it was a choice between this and Kaos, and Raiven was denied. This entry having any chance at Eurovision whatsoever is going to depend heavily on the staging. As a piece of music alone I highly doubt it's going to work. It's pretty much the definition of nondescript.

I don't know what to give it in the poll. Only 4 points feels mean, 5 feels too high cause I literally was bored watching the performance.

Tuoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeem, have just checked the performance..

Isn't it way too minimalistic, she didn't have a basic make up, I think

I'm confused right now, they were lost in that dark on the stage..

How they will be lost then in Tel Aviv GRAND stage.. :?

Aw, I don't think so. They have all the elements to make an impression, they just have to fine-tune the visual aspect of the performance.

Give them a better camera work, make the backdrops look like they're lost in outer space and polish their outfits et voilà!

These last days, we spoke about whether or not they would do justice to "Sebi" live... and to me they did! Zala's live vocals give another dimension to the song. Their biggest asset is the atmosphere they create.

Of course I fear they might end up pulling an "O Jardim", but I hope it won't be the case if they play their cards right staging-wise.

nice song but i dont think it will click with a lot of people. 4 points.

 

[Fluke]

Starts out a bit promising but it's just the same thing until the end. I don't think this is going to excite anyone, so it's pretty much a non-attempt, sorry.

I´m not impressed and I think the song is boring. I don´t think the song will reach the finale.

 

[LoveTw]

1 point for their indulgent attitude. Many gems lost in the national selections. I'm so pissed.

 

[Leydan]

Such a lead on the 12s in the poll.

This song is about as interesting as a damp cloth. :'D Literally nothing memorable in it what so ever, awful choice from Slovenia. You usually have some great entries, but this is just a huge let down...

 

[Kaz]

OMG. The staging is everything I wanted. Camera angles need some work, but Slovenia sending QUALITY like normal. Can't decide whether I like this or 'Soldi' more.

 

[Gera11]

Hmm. I thought I would like this at first, but it's just ok-ish. It goes literally nowhere :"D At least it's better than Croatia.

[Geborgenheit]

I like it, sweet and melancholic, just like Latvia's song

 

[Kairit]

I'm so surprised by this. In a positive way. I listened to the songs for the first time last night, don't remember how they sound anymore, but I made some notes and I see I liked this one by far the best, but thought it had no chance. God bless. What an exquisite song. Words can't describe how happy I am over tonight's results and Eurovision over-all this year, I'm honestly overwhelmed.

 

[QwaarJet]

Well sung, interesting concept, but in the end it doesn't deliver on it's potential. And the singer actually has negative charisma. 4 points.

 

[Smudy]

Oh my, this is awesome, instant goosebumps when the song started. My favourite next to Soldi atm.

 

[Kaz]

The only problem with this song is that they seem to give copyright strikes to literally anybody who uses it on YouTube, which will make it difficult for people who upload their Top 42 videos.

i am devastated you are not into this song. it seems 100% up your alley. they have such good chemistry on stage too. i guess we really don't choose how our hearts will feel

 

[tuorem]

I want a confirmation that the song will stay in Slovene ASAP.

I doubt they'd translate it, but I'd like make sure we'll hear "Sebi" as is.

"Sebi" wasn't my winner (I had it ranked in 7th-8th for EMA in general) and while I agree with the criticism that isn't particularly memorable, especially compared to Raiven, it is slowly growing on me, as all Slovene entries do. I'm at peace with Raiven losing btw: She was good, but I think Kaos wasn't as good as it should've been (Raiven had a few bum notes and the projecting effects could've been better). "Sebi" already has the package it needs. Curious to see what it has to offer and I think it might surprise a few people along the way. 8 Points ^_^
