    Hello!? This is new, this is fresh, this is unique. I am totaly fascinated.
    Cool dance moves, the music is experimental, the stage show tops everything.
    Dark and deep lyrics. Seeing the World right now, i would also like to close my eyes and sleep forever.
    To be honest, this is my new favorite for Liverpool ❤️.
    A very little criticism, i would give him another costume for the stage in Liverpool.
    All in all 5/5 stars for me. I really hope for a great result. Thanks for the good rating.

    Luke Black straight into my top 3 and I know he'll stay there (for me). Love everything about this is and fits my taste. He'll get my votes. This starts out like Nine Inch Nails, develops into Depeche Mode and ends up in a video game. Can't get much better :)

    Brilliant song. It translates into art the challenge of relating to troubles in the world. Dramatic and interesting, and it still seems sincere and authentic. By using fantasy elements, it creates a constructive distance and makes it easier to take in the themes. The performance has a story arc and is triumphant (much more than what I got from listening to the song). I feel like it should be a contender to win and definitely top 10.

    I love everything about this. This blew me away into another galaxy. The whole concept is so well thought out and clever. The lyrics are superb. I am not into gaming..but watching 80's fantasy films as a kid prepared me enough for this type of 'weird' :-) especially The Dark Crystal where evil overlords litterally drain the life essence out of the other creatures on the planet in a mass genocide to become immortal..you know..a regular 80's kid's movie ;-) I really hope Serbia makes it to the final..I have no idea how people are going to respond to this. I want it to qualify and I personally deem it worthy of a top 5 spot in the grand final..but I just don't know. For me this is one of the best performances I have ever seen at Eurovision (providing they leave it as it is) and I have been watching since 1990.
    The whole Pesma Za Evroviziju this year was so well produced. Lot's of good quality songs by good artists. Serbia is on track to become a fan favourite national selection I think. Also shout out to Dzipsii. That kid is amazing.

    I think he has a fantastic message that is portrayed in a very artistic and experimental way, and I am glad he won PZE. I really hope he opts in for a wearable mic over a handheld one at ESC, I think it would make it much easier to tell a story through his movements that way.
    I think he has a very interesting look, like he belongs in a Tim Burton film (which is good) 😁

    Last year people connected very well to Serbian song by Konstrakta in spite of being in Serbian because it was on 2nd place as the most watched of 2022 entries. Hopefully it will be similar this time again. BTW only 10% of Eurovision fans votes at Eurovision so I guess they will already know what it is about.

    It will win. Let's stop with this can people understand it, is it too quiet, is it too loud and just support the song and vote for it. The simple truth is, of all the songs chosen so far, it's the best song, and as such, it should win. Cause in Eurovision, despite the block voting, despite juries sometimes giving nonsense votes, the best song usually wins. Eurovision audience is surprisingly intelligent, and this song should resonate with a lot of people.

    Highly transgressive. That's all! It's nice to see Serbia showing this potential being a strong contender., again and far away from Ballads, don't get me wrong, they really know how to do a beautiful and full of emotions ballads but it's nice to see this other side.
    Yeah, it's a song that grows, I found it hard at first, but then you are drawn into it. Serbia it's a qualifier, it's Serbia, that's all but add to the equation, it's a nice entry, full package if you ask me. I can't still see clearly where to place it, among them all but it might be in top13, for sure, in the final.

    Little help: The lobster is a symbol of regeneration, as in the beginning the white water lily is a symbol of rebirth..
    Such a deep message. This song is a critique of the modern society and contemporary world. He makes connection with a video games where young people (and everyone else) are, artistically speaking, controlled by someone else and are just observers of all the horror happening around the Globe. He uses himself as a metaphor - (he only wants to sleep), as it is the easiest thing to do - to oversleep all the tragedies and to wake up in a better world. If you carefully look the performance - you will see that they are dancing as zombies as they are under anesthesia not reacting on this "world on fire" as he notices. However, the message of the song is quite opposite - we should all wake up, we should react, we should have more conscience and sapience that he calls on, especially to decision makers. At the end of the song he "releases" those "controlled" masses in order to become more active, more energetic and they together react - walk, make changes together. The "hello" part was written inspired by the Sims game, where the characters wave the player when they want something, instead of taking action, so he uses a parallel with people today.

    This is one of the songs that may go both ways in the final: either top 12-15 or flop badly, imo. Depending on how many people understand the message(s) of this song. Nerd culture is something that many, roughly speaking, millenials and "zoomers" can relate too. Being disappointed with life and seeing gloomy future ahead - same here. This is so very "we are living in times of AI and chaos" anthem.

    Message sent! Doesn't matter if he wins or not. Unlike Let 3, with rock mockery of militarism, here the artist uses EDM as a tool, again theatre influences are obvious - red lobster, comes from Alfred Jarry, french writer of the first absurdist play, Ubu the King. Art doesn't nececcarily need to be a commentary of daily evrnts or activism for social change but it is in our benefit as a communoty, to have artists activists. It's kind of important for our survival. Eurovision can be a platform for that and I think this is a good direction for Serbia. Not go for winning ('if it's up to "office politics" they probably won't, any time soon, I think this fellow is avare of that). So, what a heck, let's do some art. Use this mass event to send a message, entertain, show your excentricity. Alfred Jarry draw inspiration from dark english clown,later inspiring later progressive art movements in Europe. As for "hermetic dark performance art " I observed some similarities between German and Serbian art influences, something like West Berlin in the 80's. A hermetic introvert. That was felt in musiic. Here is a link for Yugoslav Synth Pop from the 80's
