North Macedonia have returned to a national final for the first time since 2015. Za Evrosong 2022 gets underway on Saturday evening, with six acts all competing for the right to represent their country at Eurovision 2022.

Following the release of the songs earlier this week, we asked our readers to vote for their favourite of the bunch. They heard our call and 2,054 votes were cast in the poll.

Now before Za Evrosong kicks off, it’s time to reveal who our readers are rooting for.

LARA is a favourite to win Za Evrosong 2022

In the end, y’all were smitten for a true power ballad and LARA came out on top of this Za Evrosong 2022 poll. Her entry “Flower of Sorrow” picked up 692 votes, which is around a third of all those cast (33.69% to be precise).

LARA emphasised that, for her, it is of the utmost importance that the listeners feel the emotion the song brings. And it seems our readers have not just felt that emotion but truly let it deep into their souls. LARA sings of a “terrible sound”, but listeners certainly think her entry is the complete opposite.

While Lara may have won this poll, it was a close race at the top. Just being pipped into second place is Andrea, whose song “Circles” received 660 votes (32.13% of the total).

A moody and contemporary pop ballad, plenty of our readers have chosen “Circles” as their #1 pick for Za Evrosong 2022. With so little in it at the top of this poll, it will be interesting to see how things play out during the show itself.

Taking the bronze medal in this poll is the only other act to receive more than 10% of the vote. That’s Viktor Apostolovski and his song “Superman”, which earned 376 votes (18.31%).

Viktor is aiming to soar to the top of the national final with his upbeat dance offering. He proudly declares “I can do everything / ‘Cause I’m a Superman” – time will tell if this includes claiming the Za Evrosong 2022 trophy.

Poll results: What is your favourite song in North Macedonia’s Za Evrosong?

  1. LARA – “Flower of Sorrow”, 692 votes (33.69%)
  2. Andrea – “Circles”, 660 votes (32.13%)

  4. Yon Idy – “Dreams”, 181 votes (8.81%)
  5. Kaly  –  “Love and Light”, 104 votes (5.06%)
  6. Ris Flower – “Flying to Berlin”, 41 votes (2.00%)

Total votes: 2,054

The more I listen to Flower of Sorrow, the more I like it. It’s such a lovely, classy ballad. I think it’s even better than Proud. I am hoping for a good live, so Lara would go to Turin! 🙂

My second is Dreams, which might be low-key, but it’s quite sweet and atmospheric.

My third is Circles. Musically just fine, but feels raw and personal to Andrea.

“Circles” is easily the best out of all those songs.

You want “Superman” because it’s a good song in your opinion or because he’s hot?

Flower of Sorrow overall is the best song in Za Evrosong

I’ll be happy to see an ethnic Albanian representing North Macedonia for the first time in more than 10 years. Plus, performing the song worlds apart from strong-vocals-power-ballad aesthetic (tho I genuinely admire this style and the whole attitude).

So I support Yon Idy and “Dreams”.

I mean this: Superman is the least tedious of all. Send him.

100% !! I think this is the only contender to qualification for the final ! I love it and it has this potential to get televote points while i dont see people bringing their phone to vote for any of the other song. (I might bé wrong of course)
However, a revamp or circles or flower of sorrow might do the trick !!
But i m all the way for Dreams as well (:

I was originally quite disappointed at Za Evrosong but I’ve warmed up to the songs, I’d be satisfied with all of these except Flying To Berlin and Dreams
