She's very strong performer and definitely knows what she's doing, but... Song is somehow outdated, like classic female Ex-Yu power ballad from random festival held 15-20 years ago. Her voice is remind me on Nina Badrić. Even this song has some Nina Badrić vibe in it.
The lyrics are devastatingly beautiful but are telling a rather darker story. Welcome to the theater play about love. Imagine women stuck in abusive relationships and they are repeatedly told to smile, act happy, to endure, because this abuse will pass, and this 'encouragement" to endure with a smile is abusive and it's on a systematic, societal level in all the Balkans. Their faces are red - and they (everyone who believes in "traditional" values) should be because they are complicit in this abuse. Nina giving voice to the victims of misogyny is powerful and impactful. Nina is brilliant in her interpretation and women hearing this will feel it, understarnd it, and appreciate it. The chorus says "Smile, endure, it will pass" but the last lyric is "it will disappear, but when?" A masterpiece and quality song that eurovision desperately needs to keep its reputation as a song contest. Well done Monte Negro and good luck in Switzerland!
