Who you want to represent Serbia at Eurovision Song Contest 2022?
Konstrakta will be the best Choice at this stage
Sara Jo certainly knows how to get the blood flowing, that’s all I have to say about that performance…
I would pick Konstrakta or Zorja. Zorja is the most conventional option, a Balkan ballad well written and performed. But if Serbia wants to try something different and take some risks, “In Corpore Sano” would be an interesting choice. The performance was visually intriguing as the one LUMA gave in EMA, the chorus is catchy and knowing the context behind the song (if I haven’t got it wrong, it’s a social satire about artists being under pressure to look beautiful and healthy but not having access to healthy insurance) it hits hard. Sara Jo is for sure a good performer.… Read more »
Sara’s performance is just underwhelming. The song itself has a strong ethnic identity and instead of embracing this identity with the live performance, she killed it. What is the actual concept of this performance? What role do dancers play in it? What do their costumes symbolize? Also, it was too dark. We could not properly see the dancers, and they were often off-screen. I feel like there isn’t a meaningful interaction between Sara and her dancers, which makes them appear disjoint. I am beyond sad for this performance… Her song is absolutely better than Zorja’s as it sounds more intriguing,… Read more »
Konstrakta exploded after the live performance and is a massive fan favorite right now! And rightfully so, her song is absolutely genius! I had no chances of winning, but it can easily finish in the Top 3 in the final!
Jesus, these fans of Zorja, give us a break pls.
I’d even prefer Konstrakta to win instead of Sara Jo at this point, and I’m a Zorja supporter, hehe.
Don’t worry i’d also prefer Konstrakta to win over Zorja, and i’m a Sara supporter, hehe.
We think alike and we’re the complete opposites. XD
It seems like it’s Sara Jo vs Zorja in the finals now, but I can see Konstrakta being a dark horse here. I think that Naiva can get a good result too. Origami’s ship has probably sailed with that performance, but maybe she can do better in the finals?
I’ve finally come to a decision that I want either Konstrakta or Zorja to win the entire NF. Sara’s entry honestly left me with so many more expectations and this is mostly the reason why she isn’t my second favorite anymore. Not even gonna talk about Origami. The battle in the Final will be decided between two original entries and I so love that from Serbia.
The order of the final line up is:
1 Naiva – Skidam
2 Orkestar Aleksandra Sofronijevi?a – An?ele moj
3 Gift – Haos
4 Zejna Murki? – Nema te
5 Tijana Dep?evi? – Ljubi, ljubi doveka
6 Lift “Drama”
7 Gramophonedzie – Po?injem da ludim
8 Zorja “Zorja”
9 Aca Lukas “Oskar”
10 Zoe Kida (Ana Radonji?) – Bejbi
11 Sara Jo – Muškar?ina
12 Ana Stani? “Ljubav bez dodira”
13 Angellina “Origami”
14 CHEGI i Bra?a Bluz Bend – Devojko sa plamenom u o?ima
15 Ivona “Znam”
16 Marija Miki? “Ljubav me inspiriše”
17 Konstrakta “In corpore sano”
Konstrakta 17th? It’s over, their line-up position is a perfect opportunity for them to win the entire thing.
So happy for Chegi. I know not many people would agree but for me it is the best song of this evening alongside Chaos by Gift (which song has nothing to do with Maneskin style-wise as some people seem to be claiming) and Muskarcina by Sara Jo (maybe im a minority when i say i think the staging suits the song perfectly)
Sara Jo had the best performance in the whole competition and Serbia should send her. Don’t be misled by some negative comments because most of those comments are by Zorja’s stans who comment below every single performance how it is not good and how Zorja is the best. They won’t get anywhere with such ignorance.
Is Zorja famous in Serbia?
No
No. She competed in some turbo folk contest (as pop artist) last year, and that’s the first time we heard about her
I’m sorry, even Konstrakta was 100% better quality than Sara today.
A small correction: It’s not Goca Tržan who performed tonight. She withdrew a few weeks ago, and her spot was taken by Chegi & Braca Bluz Bend (Brothers Blues Band) with Devojko s plamenom u ocima ((Oh), Girl with the flame in your eyes).
Also, Euterpa’s song would indeed literally translate as ”Missing”, but the word ending ”ješ” means ”(You are) missing”.
Is there a space Zorja’s brainwashed stans wouldn’t infiltrate? Don’t you have Zadruga, Zvezde Granda or Nikad nije kasno to watch? No one’s coming for your poselo, please let us have our ESC. Thanks
You’ve literally just contradicted yourself with this statement. lol
Educated and intelligent people actually recognize talent and quality music.
Talent yes! Quality music – not really, since dated and arrangement done so poorly can’t be seen as quality!
bro, why so much negativity. Chill haha
I thought the performance would make Sara Jo’s song good, but it just made it worse. 🙁
She sounded awful, and she was just posing in different places. Yikes.
POV : you’re Zorjia’s bot. You’re aware that most people wont vote for Zorjia because you’re so f annoying guys?
I feel weird by the sara jo’s performance. her vocals are really good but she has too many low notes and it’s really hard to hear her. and there is no time to revamp the song anymore. and the staging is too simplistic. It’s clear she has energy she has potential but the choreography it’s too simplistic. I feel so sad because Varalica was such a nice and catchy song. Maybe edita or Teodora will have better luck next year. Choices: Send aca lukas and let us all laugh in the interviews with him being slurred all the time and… Read more »
Rooting for Konstrakta and considering the hype its garnering, it’s not too far-fetched to hope it would win the finals
Konstrakta is an absolute masterpiece.
There absolutely is enough time for a revamp. Nevena’s revamp was released on March 21, Hurricane’s on April 8. And let’s not remember 2014 when Ukraine kept revamping Tick Tock till days before the contest.
I don’t think Zorja would do well on Eurovision. At the end of the day the song isn’t anything special outside of the small folk elements. Watching semi-final 2 I’ve noticed many people are rooting for Konstrakta and honestly? I’d be pretty happy if Serbia sends that song.
Sara Jo and Angellina did not live up to my expectations unfortunately with their performances. Sara might win tonight, But Zorja should be one taking the crown tomorrow.
the way you’re so wrong
Are you kidding me? You’re saying Zorja lived up to your expectations? I guess your expectations didn’t have them on the level playing field…
Both Sara Jo and Zorja sounded great but Sara Jo actually performed, Zorja moved 3 steps max. We’ve heard songs like Zorja’s so many times before. It’s time for something new.
Here after Sara’s performance. I guess Zorja is winning then.
Keep guessing until you get it right.
I thought Sara Jo was 8th in the performing order? Did that change or am I just being delusional?
She was always supposed to perform 12th. I guess you remembered it incorrectly.
I have a belief that after the large pro-Russian protest that was just held in Belgrade, Serbia will not be qualifying to the final this year.
That was infuriating. I guess Vucic is gonna have to do some damage control and start using harsher language and putting money where his mouth is.
might cause some “booing” when performing but who knows how the world is gonna be in May
