EVERYTHING BELOW IS BUNK. The winning song withdrew! The full article is in Montenegrin so Idk what the band said. But they had previously performed the song before the Sept 1st deadline - this rule is so a band can't promote their songs before the deadline and get an unfair advantage. Sometimes when this happens the country lets a band submit another one of their songs, then lets second place participate next year, but I guess not. Second place was Dobrodosli, so we'll see what happens. Off to a great start this year. So Montesong made me once again consider - do I have no taste or is an entire country wrong? Off to an early start this year. I put my notables in the 2025 video player The costume designs for the event were really fun I thought, and every act had something different and exaggerated. I really liked that and the show quality was pretty good overall. The 40 minute slow start was rough, but then the songs moved quickly. Shoutout to the only English jury member who just flat out gave up on pronouncing the band she gave 12 points to. And another honorable mention to the jury member who realized halfway through announcing her results she accidentally gave points to the wrong band. Clickbait by Neonoen won and is the presumptive song to move on to Eurovision. I say "presumptive" because there's a controversy over whether the song was performed before the September 1st cutoff this year, which would disqualify it. What song goes to Eurovision is entirely up to the country, but the international EBU then enforces the rules. I haven't seen if this is resolved yet. Songs in order of favorite performance Poguban Let - A really nice ballad with a strong vocal performance. Ljeto Ljeto Ljeto - upbeat rock song that I thought was catchy Skorpija - The song is a bit repetitive but she got a lot of points for her Power Ranger headdress and bionic scorpion. She apparently paid for video views and secured her running order in the competition that way, but then received zero popular vote points lol. Dobrodosli - Another strong ballad. Her voice shook at the beginning but a great performer. Nova - My favorite going in. Not as polished as I liked, but I still enjoyed it. To Ljubav je Clickbait Kraj - Great voice, her hand movements were a bit too much. Obala raja Cujes li Dva Srca - This was the online favorite, but I though the song was a bit boring. San - Feels like Theater Kids Stop War Kada dode maj Third guy Repeat
