I don't think that any ESC fan from Montenegro knows who are Milena Vidakovic and Ivana Radinovic.

@ Gwen Stefani

[Only reactions in English are allowed.]

BTW, to the people that talk about superstars reach high placings...
Kate Ryan (known in almost entire Europe) is a big star, we sent her to Athens.
We got a crap placing! So I don't think your statement makes sense at all.

@ Ana
Actually Javine was fairly big (or as big as most reality show runners-up get to be) when we sent her and in comparison Jessica Garlick got came 6th on Pop Idol where as Javine came second to Sarah to make it into Girls Aloud.
I agree we should be sending some of your best artists if we want to do well but then a lot of them are put off because if you do badly (which is always a likelyhood) your career is basically ruined and in the UK even coming in the top 3 isn't enough to make it big, look at Jessica Garlick, she hasn't released anything since 2002!
Its not ALWAYS about the artist. The East in particular sends big names but they aren't actually all that big in a lot of other countries yet they still do well. Its as much the song as the artist and the performance (being Eastern or in a bloc also usually helps)

@Drew
Exacly how does the big 4 play fair when they're always in the finals???The last years,their songs have been just boring.Take a look at Greece and Cyprys over the last few years,or maybe the nordic countries,and perhaps Turkey and France?Look how they share their points,before you complain about the ex-Yu countries.Anyone agrees???

Good Luck Montenegro,Serbia,Bosnia,Maced onia,Croatia and Slovenia!!!
I HOPE TO SEE ALL EX-COUNTRIES IN THE FINAL.

@ ANA: It's not likely the UK would send big stars to ESC, as unfortunately people don't care about ESC that much here anymore... Many people just moan about this "political voting" (that has just been discussed, or argued here... ;)) blocking UK's chances, so they don't think it's worth it anyway.

@ Bepo Batinic: "i agree not all west europe sending trash music but people trash won last year what ellse to say." I find this very offending - Hard Rock Hallelujah was not "trash" but a great song, some narrow-minded people just don't seem to get it...Only because they look like that (I'm not into those masks either, but you must look beyond that), or because the song is NOT a pop song, so they automatically think it must be crap... For heaven's sake! It got more votes that any other winner in ESC history, and from all around Europe (not just neighbours ;)), that would hardly have happened if it was not good... So you don't agree with Europe?!

Ana, I had a bizarre dream the other night that the UK were being represented by the Scissor Sisters featuring Beyonce. Somehow I don't think it's going to happen though...

"Our song sounds exactly like people love it in Eastern Europe. No romance, nothing that warms up your heart, just stunning stunning beats, a stamping disco pop - ..."

This is what DJ BOBO said. I find it offending. I will boycott him! WHo does he think he is!!!!!!!!!

Why does every single thread about the Balkans turn into a slanging match? Grow up people.

@Rubin
Do you really think that Croatia's 13th place is something to be proud of and reason enough to insult Belgium?
42 of 56 points are from your neighbors. Sad! That's not really an international merit.
It seems more and more to me that "your" performers can stand on stage without making a noise and they get points anyway. It really doesn't matter what and if they sing.
If my country would get its points in that way, I wouldn't count this as a success.
By the way: Did your ESC entries made it to the charts in any country outside balkan and/or your direct neighborhood? NO.

WOW no NO NAME thats a surprise, from the last two years you would have thought No Name were the ONLY Montenegrin musical act going!
