Whenever i hear strings at the start of a Balkan song, my heart sinks, because it means another heartfelt ballad about something depressing. For me, this song is exactly that.
Having said that, I see its merits.
Nevena is a really good singer and on the proviso she hits all of the notes in the right order, I see this qualifying out of the first Semi Final.
Trouble is, it’s clearly a song for local consumption with a bit of English rammed in. It’s not a long three minutes (unlike some this year) but I can’t see it doing business outside of its native area in the grand final.
Phil’s score – 4 points
