Montenegro – Big in the Balkans

Montenegro now and a big cheer in the press centre for the first run through. This is pretty much performance ready and it’s very, very impressive.

In typical Želko style we have a 40 second instrumental with Knez walking through the five backing singers. He’s walking on a floor projection of water – make of that symbolism what you will. The five backing singers are reminiscent of the presentation for Molitva, and this is rousing in a similar vein.

There’s a dance in the middle with all of them spinning arms outstretched, and there’s a shot of this from above which is the only bit which looks sloppy as you expect them to be in a circle but they’re getting into position. They need to reconsider this shot.

Otherwise this is brilliant. Should be an easy qualification for this on the back of such a good showing. I hope so, I really like it.

Željko remember has never finished lower than 6th at Eurovision as a songwriter or performer: will this continue that record?
