You are the only person who reacted and got the sense of the lyrics on point!
Oh good to know. I wasn't sure
The lyrics are devastatingly beautiful. Heartbreaking. Welcome to the theater play of 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 should be because they are complicit in this abuse. Giving voice to the victims of misogyny is powerful and impactful. Nina is brilliant in her interpretation and women hearing this will feel it, understand it, and appreciate it. 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!
Do you like the Montenegrin entry?
No i don’t really like it but I appreciate her voice
It's not necessarily my kinda thing, but it's much better than "Clickbait".
i love it! so dramatic and beautiful
They gotta lean more into the dramatic James Bond vibe. And might help if it had a more immersive opening. Maybe a revamp could change that, maybe add the ending of the song to the beginning, to help draw in people, kinda like Tattoo had. Also kinda giving it more character.
Really great song. Amazing vocal and just the sort of dramatic ballad that pleases me in its progression that makes it kind of cinematic for me.
We need Eurovision histories back
Excellent understanding of lyrics yet again!
16:15 hello there
By the way, you nailed that pronounciation, even of 63 ! Chef's kiss 🤌🏻
Merci!
I think this can definitely qualify! The song just needs a MINOR revamp to bring out some of the instruments and give the song a more flavoursome melody! The staging is also something to work on but no rush!
i love it! Grito and Hollow where able to easily qualify this year and i would say their voting blocks aren't as strong as Montenegro's.
With televote only semis I think if you can get somewhere between 35-50 points qualifying in 9th/10th place is possible. If Montenegro in a semi with 2 former yugoslav countries they'll very likely have 20-24 points already. Then they may pick up "scraps" from other countries/rotw and could do it that way.
So glad you do what you do, you are not just like everyone else but unique, while I watch several ESC commentators and reactors only 3 or 4 are actually adding true added value to the lead up to ESC and you are one of them, glad last year didn’t turn you off too much from continuing.
Thank you so much! That is very kind!
Watching this first rating video, I really feel now that Eurovision season has started 😊. Yeah, I hope it will grow on me. Atm though, I even struggle a bit to give it a few more listens tbh. I always find myself listening to Adio instead, I'm still addicted to this marvellous song...
I give five stars because i like Balkan music in the ESC and Dobrodošli is a Grower
I really like it. My feeling says it will stay in my top 20 and will be a qualifyer for me. I'm not much a ballade listener but she might be the one exception of the year for me. It got some bond vibe i really like
Good vocals,message and song...Just an all-round respectable entry.However,it does lack a "Wow" factor and i don't think it will stand out enough to get a higher placement than top 15-20.
I hope Montenegro will qualify and get a good result. I really like the song
I hope they don't mess up with the revamp. And I especially hope they don't rewrite the song in english
I feel like this year won’t have many ballads, so I think it will stand out if performed well
I love the studio version of Dobrodošli. If they can improve the package for Basel, this might have good chances to qualify.
If they can get the message of the song across in the staging, this may well qualify.
I think the chance of qualifying are not that high. Possibly I will change my mind depending on the other participants. But when this song qualifies, then it will get good jury points in the final
Countries like Montenegro Latvia Malta and San Marino and even maybe Slovenia or Georgia they need to drawn like 2nd half so they be more memorable and higher chance to qualify.
Do I think Montenegro will qualify?
For now I say no like I said if they get drawn in first half it can get lost easily
When I listened for the first time I rated this song with 2 pts cause I think it’s so old fashioned when it comes to the composition. I am sorry! But these lyrics? A drastic new world opens up. Thanks for letting me see her!, my boyfriend is from Bosnia and his mother was beaten to hospital by his dad a few times. But everyone told her to be quiet and stay, what was also common at his hometown he told me. I was in an violent relationship too but escaped … so i am deeply moved by this song! I judged too quickly, I know better now: thanks!
Ps: I would subtitles at the esc cause I love when the artists sing in their mothertongue but the „0815“audience who don’t dive in these songs that deeply months before the show would get a more complete picture of the song, performance and the artist and could also really relate/emphasize 🫶
What do you think about that?
My fave was Ljeto, followed by Ðurđa / Baryak. I like Dobrodošli okay, but am worried it won't be able to stand out in a tele-only semi, which the other 3 would/could have. Bit of a bummer. I want MN to qualify.
I really liked the song at the beginning. However, the more I listen to it, the more its' flaws are starting to show. It starts of mysterious but builds very slowly and the climax is not as giant as I would want it. I think the staging does not add anything to it and just like the song itself can be one note. The blindfold things has been done a lot and for the rest it's just her standing there in a white gown. The draw will be very important for this since I can see a way for it to Q, but also a way to NQ (like their last entry which was a female ballad as well). In my personal ranking I'd give this a B or C ranking for now (A-F) but I hope it's not going to fall further especially since the ESC season is still very long.
Will you do a lyric-by-lyric breakdown of this song? I really loved them the previous season and you have the ability and the desire to get introspective about lyrics.
Maybe after the revamp is out ;)
I don’t know if this will qualify, it is good but it is a ballad and Montenegro is a small country so the semis being just televote doesn’t help. If it qualifies I think it will do decently with the juries and bottom 5 with the televote.
We need your review on Zjerm and its lyrics
I think she needs to add some drum and bass.
I can barely look at your facecam because we have the same glasses 😂🫣
I think it's probably qualifying. If Ramonda qualified, why can't this
Will you also be reacting to Zjerm from Albania?
I listen to this song at least 5 times, and i have no memory of it. It's so forgettable. I still remember other songs from the national final, but not this one.
If this qualify, means that this years Eurovision is weak...
Welcome to the show? Didn't The Code start with those same words?
Great observation! You’re correct
Yeah, I like her dress.
She definitely needs to tone it down with the hand movement.
Hi, wann machst du deine Reaktion bzw. Prediktion zum Benidorm Fest 2025??
Kommt gleich :)
Igranka was in 2013 not 2014
Haha you're like Santa Claus here, just giving presents... each by each category... 😅 This deserves max 3 stars. Obviously you didn't hear Marija Šerifović and Dobar Vam Dan... Very similar but much better vocals, lyrics...
Well executed but lack of originality, it's a song quite predictable from Montenegro
