Slovenia SLOVENIA 2019 - Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl - Sebi

[A-lister]

I know that it was top. 10 in the odds to qualify and fans generally like it, me included, but I am still happily surprised it did since it's very subtle and really needs alot of listens to truly grow... also the performance is a bore although I know it's purposely meant to look like that... so I thought it would struggle tbh...

However did they really need to act like arrogant hipsters in the green room and when being announced as well? Drop the attitude... it doesn't make you "cool" if that's what you think

Apparently they did worst in the qualifiers press conference. They sound like a pair of entitled twats. I have read somewhere that they did an interview and said they didn't even want to join the Eurovision.

Not surprised, they have this standard "we're so too cool for this"-hipsters attitude that I just loath... c'mon what are you... 14!? ... it's not COOL ...

I don't think it's arrogance, I just think Zala looked tired like Zena from Belarus during the jury show. They did say all the rehearsals were exhausting for them.

Well.. I really like the song.. But their respond to the question "in which spot do you prefer to sing at the GF?" at the press conference was just rude. "It's exactly boring questions like that when you want to go home most of the time". Then go home.. I wish Conan was there to answer that question. Or any of the eliminated acts tbh.

No, they seem super arrogant and they proved it on the press conference...

Everyone did as many rehearsals as them and it's not like their stage act really have them put lots of effort anyways

Well they did literally say in the press conference to one question: "I think it's boring questions like that, that is why we want to go home most of the time in interviews".

Hataris display, aside I thought that was a super shady response. We all know they'd all have a preference of where they'd like to be in the order, and even so at least be diplomatic about it.

Seriously, this question really was boring. Most of the questions were. These journalists go all the way to Israel and can't think of more interesting things to ask than favorite number and some random cliches? I appreciate they're being honest rather than put a huge fake smile and go along with this nonsense.

 

[FilipeGolias]

I feared this would not go through - and they really nurtured this sentiment by leaving them last in the qualifiers announcement - because the performance imo didn't come across that strong in what are its key points - calmness and intimacy. But I'm glad this little gem came through!

It's more about professionalism and respect... sure many questions are pointless but still...

I was happy for them qualifying, but their conduct in the press conference was a disgrace.

They need to have a long, hard look at themselves.

For real? Shady af, even if true most times. Not so innocent, I guess.

I think it's unprofessional and disrespectful to waste everyone's time with dumb questions.

Oooooh Drama

Well, they won't last long in this business with this mentality so they should be happy as long as it lasts... so called "journalists" often asks unnecessary questions , sometimes you just need to play along... what level do they think their on? Madonna?... they'll be forgotten in a year (and now we're just talking Slovenia...).

 

[dogmeat]

what level do they think their on? Madonna?...

Definitely above Madonna's level, at least in terms of music quality

 

[Mrm]

Wooow they are doing so well with likes on yt now!

This is so minimalistic, that I'm shocked!

Yeah right... when they have more than one song and a global career of almost 40 years we can discuss that ... with their attitude I doubt they even last a month...

 

[DaFlo]

I stan people who give real answers and are not robots controlled by media & pressure from people >>>

Also they said it means the world to them that they qualified and people appreciated their song

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

This was my favourite entry when it was selected, tonight it wasn't even in my ten qualifiers

Congratulations on making the Grand Final though!
