Well, a ballard only went and blooming well did it. And not only that, but a ballard sung in the national language, whatever it is. OK, so cultural similarities and diaspora played the biggest part ever in the whole voting process, but yet again a solid quality song came out on top. Marija Serifovic is taking the gong to Belgrade in 2008, and already hotel companies are greasing the palms of Balkan authorities. I predicted her in 2nd and the 2nd place in 1st. Not bad, but could do better considering most of the fans spotted Marija early doors. The full list of both results are below. |
