"After a year and a half of hard work, he entered a star-search competition called 'Bitka talentov'."

Music & Lyrics by: Matjaz Vlasic & Ursa Vlasic

Anžej Dežan was born in Celje in 1987. He started his career in 1997, when he won the Karaoke competition on national television. He continued in 1998, when he won at a local singing competition, on Radio Celje, called Full Cool Demo Top. This was his first attempt to record, and it continued in 2002, when he started improving his vocal skills at a young teacher, Jasmina Macek.

It wasn't until 2003, when he started studying vocal art with Dada Kladnik, a renowed music professor from Maribor, that his work in the music related business finally started. After a year and a half of hard work, he entered a star-search competition called 'Bitka talentov' on prime-time tv-show 'Spet doma'.

He gained the second place in the end, reaching more than 28,000 votes from the public. From then onwards, thing started happening with high pace. He has found an award-winning music team, Matjaž Vlašic, Urša Vlašic and Boštjan Grabnar, who participated in the ESC before, with Vili Resnik and Nuša Derenda. The first single, C'est la vie, was released in December 2004, reaching success at the radio stations. This was even reached in the summer of 2005, when he had won the Melodies of the sun and the sea festival in Portorož, being awarded the grand prix prize of the jury as the best song, selected by music professionals. Later on, he participated at the Slovenian selections for the ESC in 2005, where he sang as a backing vocalist to Nuša Derenda, a very successful Eurovision singer.

I think I need to present a new award category next year, namely the finest most mature, most brazenly cheese-like performance. Unfortunately there isn't an award yet, so Anzej is a year too early. Mr Dezan likes to mess with his hair, is not averse to lots of fabric, upturned collars, and downright embraces manic gawping at cameras. In fact, it's becoming increasingly apparent that Slovenia specialise in manic, but when you do manic you need the full works, shouting, jumping, bright costumes, unbridled aggression...actually Slovenia could do well this year.

"Anzej won't send Shockwaves through Europe, but he will through his hair"

Hong Kong Phooey

Anzej has never been quoted as saying "Hoo Ha, The way Mr Phooey did that trick with the filing cabinet, his utter inability to actually fight, and his handling of the phone-operating Rosemary was truly awe-inspiring. Balancing crime-fighting with his day- job of the mild mannered janitor Penrod Pooch, Phooey and Spot solved all sorts of pointless crimes. Scatman, but without the scat...man". Of course the web author could say that the above quote has been edited for reasons of creativity, however he won't because the quote is utter lies.

  

Plan B (original lyrics)

Ti, v prazen zid strmiš
Slutim, da bežiš
Nemir drhti v tebi

Ti, lahko me zdaj izdaš
A reci, da priznaš
Ne najdeš me v sebi

Vsaj malo, vsaj malo zacuti me

Reci, me boš kdaj iskala
V srcu za menoj jokala
Reci, se boš kdaj vrnila
Mogoce sem plan B
Rezerva, ko ne gre
Alarm zazvoni, ko drug te zapusti

Kot judov je poljub
Poln vseh obljub
Ta dotik med nama

Vsaj malo, vsaj malo zacuti me

Reci, me boš kdaj iskala
V srcu za menoj jokala
Reci, se boš kdaj vrnila
Mogoce sem plan B
Rezerva, ko ne gre
Alarm zazvoni, ko drug te zapusti

Reci, me boš kdaj iskala
V srcu za menoj jokala
Reci, se boš kdaj vrnila
Mogoce sem plan B
Rezerva, ko ne gre
Alarm zazvoni, ko drug te zapusti

Mr Nobody

You, you came to me one night,
Just like a ray of light,
I thought we'd be forever

Now, it's so clear to me,
I'm part of history,
You're leaving me in sorrow

So deeply,
So badly,
You're hurting me

Tell me,
Who's that lucky hero,
Sleeping
Tightly on your pillow,
Tell me,
Will it be forever

'cause when you look at me,
I'm mr nobody,
It's just a game you play,
Can't let you walk away

Like a stranger passing by,
With no more tears to dry,
You're leaving me in sorrow

“I’m the biggest Eurovision fan ever and I really hope to get to the Final,” said Anžej Dežan from Slovenia. “I’ve just done a huge promo tour for my song ‘Mr Nobody’ – the first time Slovenia has ever done this – and I’ve gotten a taste for it".
