or This is the classic Balkan ballad heading your way. There’s a little bit of bias in my review because Balkan ballads have never been my thing. Nevena is a beautiful woman with a soaring voice; she makes it seem so effortless. The ballad mixes classic orchestration with a booming chorus, laden with rock guitar, dramatic piano, and a devotion to the meaning of the song - which is also extremely classic: I love you, I need you, blah blah blah. A few complaints - I was actually caught off-guard by the sudden turn to English. There’s a phrase or two only, but it’s not entirely expected. However, I will say that her English enunciation is clear and perfect! It at least gets the message across, even if temporarily. Again, I remain impressed by the execution of the delivery. There’s no doubt that we will have a fantastic performance on Nevena’s part, but (queue the bias) it’s weighed down by its own purpose: delivering what we’ve already ordered for the past 10, 20 years even. It is difficult to pinpoint what this does differently from past entries, and that’s why all I can say about it is... well, they’re getting 24 points from Montenegro. Slovenia and Hungary will be generous, too. Maybe this has a chance? What do I know. As someone once told me, I’m not European so my opinion doesn’t count anyway

Why can't you hold me in the street? Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
