The Singers

They're a young crowd of lads, who's original version of the song was chopped of two verses, and made into one long chorus, thankfully sparing us the lack of breadth of their vocal ability.
A bunch of middle class musical students out on the lash, Dragoljub is no doubt the one who's always at the bar whilst the others are off somewhere giving the ladies the opportunity to play with their instruments.
Mind you, they have to be brunettes to satisfy No Name...Son de Sol better watch out, or Bojan and Marko may be filling their calfskin boots.

 

The Past

Serbia have shone in their embryonic Eurosong growth. Zelkjo ambled onto stage in 2004, and had to do very little to impress, surrounded as he was by the whole range of Balkan instrumentation. They were pipped at the post by Mistress Whip, and look to be one of the nations to look out for in future. Serbia's success that year just shows you the amount of success a one-man band would have at the contest. Serbia look stick on certainties to go down the ethnic effort route for years to come now.

The Song
Their video tells the unusual story of an attractive young lady's unfurling of a ball of wool all the way from the desert to the coast. Quite why she does this, I'm not quite sure, but I presume its relays a deep and profound message about the rifts within the nation and the innocent victims caught up in the struggle...it usually is.

The song is mostly instrumental, namely violin and drums, with the same chorus repeated monotonously throughout the song. At one point however, a striking similarity to "Wild Boys" by Duran Duran comes into play.

They've gone down exactly the same route as last year's first timer, and although it's comparatively weak, don't rule it out.

Gestures - 16 The count would have been undeniably larger if it weren't for the young woman hogging the limelight, with her ball of wool and a lamb, walking the attractive streets of their home nation. Still aggressive pointing at the camera abounds.
"Wanna" Count - 0

Overall
Big odds and big drums. After last year's second place, and with the undeniable Balkan factor in their favour, I've got a bit of a feeling that this may do better than many feel. The major downside is that it's a not very mobile...two synthesisers in one band have not worked in Europe since Kraftwerk. But each way wise I still can't rule it out.
Big drums you see, it's got big drums.

In a Nutshell
"Dragoljub will be banging only drums in Kiev"

"The Shrink Says"

Ethnocentrism is a dangerous belief to aspire to, namely a belief that your society, group, or culture is superior to all others. I won't say any more as that's all in the past now, and the group needs to move forward.
I hope the lads don't get carried away during the build up to their performance, since if just one of them gets infected with a STD after a brief liaison with a Ukrainian brunette wench, then the sight of him groin-scratching and hopping from one foot to the other will surely necessitate a complete change in choreography.

Zauvijek Moja

Tamo, ljubavi, gdje zvone zvona
Ti ceš zauvijek bit' samo moja
Tamo gdje i rijeka ljubi more
Do zore
Zauvijek
Tamo visoko, za brda ona
Tamo gdje je stara kuca moja
Tamo cu sa tobom, željo moja
Ostati
Tamo, ljubavi, gdje zvone zvona
Ti ceš zauvijek bit' samo moja
Tamo gdje i rijeka ljubi more
Do zore
Zauvijek
Tamo visoko, za brda ona
Tamo gdje je stara kuca moja
Tamo cu sa tobom, željo moja
Ostati
Ljubavi, ne mogu sad
Bez tebe da živim ja
Tamo, ljubavi, gdje zvone zvona
Ti ceš zauvijek bit' samo moja
Tamo gdje i rijeka ljubi more
Do zore
Zauvijek
Tamo visoko, za brda ona
Tamo gdje je stara kuca moja
Tamo cu sa tobom, željo moja
Ostati

Forever Mine

There, love, where the bells toll
You will forever be only mine
There where the river kisses the sea
Till dawn
Forever
High up there, behind that hill
Where my old house is
I will with you, my desire
Stay there

There, love, where the bells toll
You will forever be only mine
There where the river kisses the sea
Till dawn
Forever

High up there, behind that hill
Where my old house is
I will with you, my desire
Stay there

Love, I cannot now
Live without you

There, love, where the bells toll
You will forever be only mine
There where the river kisses the sea
Till dawn

High up there, behind that hill
Where my old house is
I will with you, my desire
Stay there
