I agree 100%, despite juries hating songs like this I hope still some will make it to eurovision ! Ulveham was the biggest heartbreak in voting history, my favorite entry, probably even ever.

That was fun! Three that I enjoyed the most on first listen are: - Dva Srca (Baryak) - drama and the atmosphere, yes please - Obala Raja (Kejt) - her voice is so pretty - Clickbeit - lyrics are very clever, I think this would fly well in all ex Yu countries
Oh, that’s interesting to know that the Clickbait lyrics are clever, because obviously when I listen to all the songs they had no caption so I couldn’t understand any of them 😭
AGHHH ESC TOM REVIEWING NATIONAL FINAL SEASON IS BACKKKK, My personal favourite is Baryak, definitely the song I've come back to the most over the last few days. As an Australian it reminds me a fair bit of The Presets. EDIT: YEP YOU AGREED WITH THE PRESETS AHAHA
I love Tom being like that guy from the Chernobyl series : "Not great, not terrible", etc 😅 Montesong bringing some rock and metal, thanks Montenegro !
Good national final for a country on a 5 NQ-streak and that has sit out the last two editions. I'm really obsessed with Đurđas song. Like Elsie Bays MGP try in 2023, this is giving me Howls Moving Castle-Soundtrack-vibes and I love that. I really hope it gets some additional magic in the live-performance.
I personally like Baryak the most. A pretty basic metal song, but I love metal so I dont care. But I like the jazzy/funkyness of Nova and Repeat. At least they're not a cookie cutter pop/pop-ballad like most of the balkan entries
I feel like some of these acts took notes during "Love Love Peace Peace" with the battlehorn at the start, traditional instruments, about peace/not war
I'm thinking that both Ljeto, ljeto, ljeto and Poguban let could both qualify for the final in Eurovision but I'm not seeing most of the rest being able to stand out enough to get there without some major reworking.
I don't have a clear favorite right now. I like the vibe but none of them stand out as a song I really want to see on the Eurovision stage. Ljeto is maybe the one I remember the most, but then I tend to do so with male over female lead vocals, especially if there are so many similar ones
Im with the majority on liking Baryaks entry the most, always a sucker for the darker rock songs and that hits all the marks, especially with the bass guitar notes
I think this is a decent start to the season, but many of the songs blend into each other I think if Montenegro is looking for something that stands out, Obala raja might be the best choice I can't imagine there being too many songs similar to that in other selections My personal favorite is To ljubav je
It's finally time! 🎉 The people's hero has returned! Gimlo lives for these reaction videos, so grateful for them, especially now they're not monetised 😮💨 Highlight of Gimlo's day 💪🧌Thank you Tom
You were like me with some of the songs, 'oohh, ohhh no, mmm okay, oh you know what mmmmm, I don't know if I like this, no no I like this, I shouldn't like this but I like it.😅😅
I was listening to these songs before going to sleep on Monday night and somehow ended up with 4 lady piano ballads at the end. Safe to say that did the job 🛌
I think most of the authors chose to ignore they were writing for Eurovision. Some songs were pretty, but entirely out of place. - I kind of liked Isak Sabanovic's Ljeto. Not my usual cup of tea, but catchy and not trite. Don't know about Eurovision, but it could have success in the clubs. - Neonoen's Clickbait, I could repeat what I said for Isak. A little less catchy but interesting. Not sure about Eurovision. - Baryak's Dva srca is interesting but needs a massive revamp. There are six of them, I want to hear some vocal harmonies.
I love these video’s from you Tom, it was really great to watch! Tbh there are not that many songs in this selection that will be able to get Montenegro to the final. I think Baryak is the best choice but overall a bit of a disappointing bunch of songs.
nina zizic is the BEST choice if Montenegro wants to be seen as "serious". Dobrodosli needs a revamp to add even more power, im hearing Rise Like A Phoenix vibes from this. We now know that bands DO NOT work at Eurovision, montenegro choose wisely!
Finally someone said exactly what I think about Bend 9 song. Not to be a hater, but as a metalhead, I think the song is really underwhelming. And using such a straightforward statement as intro and chorus is such a bad decision lyricswise
My personal favorite is Baryak, has similar dark vibes to Ulveham imo (which is probably not a good thing for their chances in the contest lol)
Baryak is so awesome and Gåte was my favourite this year! I don't care for the placing, I just want Baryak to be in the contest!
I agree 100%, despite juries hating songs like this I hope still some will make it to eurovision ! Ulveham was the biggest heartbreak in voting history, my favorite entry, probably even ever.
Ulveham was a good entry and I wouldn't judge it too harshly, given how that contest was always going to suck public votes away from them.
Well, actually, the last place in GF is a pretty good result for Montenegro. 😅
Yeah, Baryak is my winner here. I can see this leaving an impact at the Eurovision Final, if staged right.
2:25 They are actors from our national theatre. :) I like Baryak the most.
Lazar Dragojevic je u grupi a glumio je i u nasoj BH seriji prosle godine "Znam kako dises" bio je divan!!!!

Baryak for the win!! They have the most interesting song that has the best staging potential if they don’t mess it up
Baryak is my favorite, the potential is there, this rock sound in the chorus is quite populair right now
That was fun!
Three that I enjoyed the most on first listen are:
- Dva Srca (Baryak) - drama and the atmosphere, yes please
- Obala Raja (Kejt) - her voice is so pretty

Oh, that’s interesting to know that the Clickbait lyrics are clever, because obviously when I listen to all the songs they had no caption so I couldn’t understand any of them 😭
My favourite is Ljeto Ljeto Ljeto! I think it's the most fun out of all songs. It's a song I want to party to on Eurovision night. I hope it wins!
Ljeto is such a vibe, would love to see how it is presented and for it to show up in eurovision
I think with the association with summer, it got good music festival vibes for sure!
Baryak was the only one that had something behind it. I love me a piano lady, but I’m not hearing a Eurovision qualifier.
Really enjoyed Baryak. 👏
I reckon if Baryak has a good, effective staging (a la Ulveham) it could have a Bambie Thug effect and switch a lot of people on to the song
Definitely, but that’s quite a big ask to have staging THAT good
CLICKBAIT it's the most interesting. I like the sound of good band playing.
Reminds me of Red Flag Parade from the most recent Czech selection...
Baryak - 2 srca, the best!
Montenegro slapped so hard

For me it's Tamara Živković - Poguban Let
I just love it 😅🔥 it has so much potential
Good national final for a country on a 5 NQ-streak and that has sit out the last two editions. I'm really obsessed with Đurđas song. Like Elsie Bays MGP try in 2023, this is giving me Howls Moving Castle-Soundtrack-vibes and I love that. I really hope it gets some additional magic in the live-performance.
Ha, my daughter mentioned the same reference when I brought the song home after we wrote it! :)
I'm a big heavy music fan and I really liked the Baryak entry. I'm with you, there's more interest there than all of those ballads. Oof.
I personally like Baryak the most. A pretty basic metal song, but I love metal so I dont care. But I like the jazzy/funkyness of Nova and Repeat. At least they're not a cookie cutter pop/pop-ballad like most of the balkan entries
And so it begins! 😊
I feel the same was about Ljeto as you do! It is very guilty pleasure, just a banger, no thoughts
Agree regarding Baryak
I feel like some of these acts took notes during "Love Love Peace Peace" with the battlehorn at the start, traditional instruments, about peace/not war
Isak LJETO LJETO LJETO.
To Ljubav Je is my favorite, genuine Anastasia vibes and it'd be gorgeous with an Elsie Bay MGP '23 style staging concept
@@Knowledge-uy5sq thank you, I co-wrote it and really happy you like it!
My top 3 from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 3 durda to lduvav je 2 kraj 1 Tamara zivkovic pogba let bop 🔥
Đurđa's song gives me Barbara Pravi vibes :)
insomma
Djurdja je okej, ali ne Barbara Pravi
We are so back!
We are so back
Cool video, Tom
Luka 🔥
I'm thinking that both Ljeto, ljeto, ljeto and Poguban let could both qualify for the final in Eurovision but I'm not seeing most of the rest being able to stand out enough to get there without some major reworking.
Did you know that Nina Zizic was vocalist for "who See" with Igranka? The atronauts...
I didn’t when I was filming, but I found out when I was doing my research for the accompanying analysis video
I don't have a clear favorite right now. I like the vibe but none of them stand out as a song I really want to see on the Eurovision stage. Ljeto is maybe the one I remember the most, but then I tend to do so with male over female lead vocals, especially if there are so many similar ones
Ljeto is my guilty pleasure too, why do you apologize so much? 😆
Don't feel guilty
He will be fire live he is crazy ❤❤❤
Ooooooo. I’m looking forward more to it now.
Excited for Wednesday now!
Yes, Vucic is also the last name of the Serbian president. :) They are not related. You are both into Balkan music and politics. I am impressed!
He is from Bosnia (Travnik), she is from Podgorica. :D
I think it is a solid set of songs. They have a few opportunities to qualify if they are lucky with who is in their semi final.
To Ljubav Je remind me a lot of what Serbia sent to JESC 2022
my fav was the last one... but not in an "OMG, I'm obsessed way", more in a "this is my fav comparing" kind of way 😆
Tamara all the way! Her song is a masterpiece!
Im with the majority on liking Baryaks entry the most, always a sucker for the darker rock songs and that hits all the marks, especially with the bass guitar notes
expectations at sea-level, lol 💖
my favorit song is Dva Srca
I think this is a decent start to the season, but many of the songs blend into each other
I think if Montenegro is looking for something that stands out, Obala raja might be the best choice
I can't imagine there being too many songs similar to that in other selections
My personal favorite is To ljubav je

hmm interesting songs, Montenegro is going to have trouble qualifying
I guess, Nina will be the favorite in 2 weeks to win on 27th November ! 😉 Greetings from the next year ESC Host Country Switzerland 😀
Nina is the best! So powerful ❤️
You were like me with some of the songs, 'oohh, ohhh no, mmm okay, oh you know what mmmmm, I don't know if I like this, no no I like this, I shouldn't like this but I like it.😅😅
Neoneon or Isak 110%
Bayrak 😍
NeonoeN pam pam pam pam CLIKBAIT :)
I think that I love Kejt's song the most (except the English part tho 🙁 )
San was my favourite of this bunch, but I was a regretful Falling fan as well...
I was listening to these songs before going to sleep on Monday night and somehow ended up with 4 lady piano ballads at the end. Safe to say that did the job 🛌
😂 😴
3:03 you are the second person I’ve heard call this a worse ‘heaven’ 😭 it’s not thattttttt bad
A bad flight with Ryanair 🤣
ISAK,ljeto,ljeto,ljeto!
NeonoeN roks!!🔥🔥
Honestly, there were 2 or 3 that were "almost" there
There is a total of 6 female piano ballads - Kejt, Djurdja, Tamara, Anastasija, Verica and Nina.
Kejt can‘t be classed in the same lane due to the drum & bass
Nina Žižić or Tamara Živković❤️🇲🇪
What is the catchphrase before each song? Trying to figure out but cannot😢
Good luck with the new strat to get around copyright Tom! 🤞💙
thank you 💙
Lets go Isak ❤❤
"Click-bait" !!
Yesss Baryak give us some decent Balkan rock 🤘
So Montenegro is out again lmfaoo

Oh lol we literally do have the same top three for this national final 😂

Kejt for the win 🏆
Almost all the songs are way too slow, some of them even put me to sleep until the 2: 30 mark.
nina zizic is the BEST choice if Montenegro wants to be seen as "serious". Dobrodosli needs a revamp to add even more power, im hearing Rise Like A Phoenix vibes from this.
We now know that bands DO NOT work at Eurovision, montenegro choose wisely!
Montenegro wont quality but the level is still higher than their other National finals

Clickbait!!
Ljeto could be from Konstrakta.
