It's not the goodbye that hurts but the flashbacks that follow.

I think they destroyed it with the revamped version. It's for me

Montenegro has yet to escape my bottom 15 or so songs since 2016. It’s hard to believe that my highest ranked Montenegrin was Slavko, but that’s where we’re at. To Montenegro's credit, at least they held a national selection again this year. D-mol (what does that name even mean) look like a bunch of college kid wannabes at first glance, a hodge-podge of musical talent combined into the perfect soup for the Eurovision soul. Together they sing “Heaven,” a happy-go-lucky ballad about love. It’s got a Disney vibe to it - but that’s par for the course, and absolutely not a problem for me. I won’t even say it sounds dated. TL;DR: I don’t like it that much anyway. It’s not the worst song I’ve ever heard, but that’s the minced meat of compliments in a contest of ‘best song’. There certainly is a difference between the studio version and the live version, which featured a staging where they stand in front of a key signature. I'm baffled. Watching the national performance video, it’s clear that this is an assembled act for contest purposes. Only half of them can sing well, yet they all get solos before the chorus. All you need is one guy to be too off-key and you’re relegated to semifinal permanency. The second chorus is even more rough, and don’t get me started on whether or not I believe they have ‘chemistry’ because half of them are giving sexy-face while the other half smile, dance, and… yeah. The music video is an improvement. It’s got better lyrics than some songs, at least, but: minced meat. I think they won solely on their collective voices together, as has been the trend for the Balkan states this year. There were some added cultural influences to the revamp and they relegated a couple of the guys to backup singing duty. But they kept the "obligatory" key change, and the instrumentation is still laughable. At the end of the day, I guess Montenegro can finally break into the teenage pop music industry? I don't get what they wanted out of this. It’s upbeat, but it’s underproduced.

The revamp made a song that was boring, yet ok, way worse by adding out of place backing instrumentals and an (at least somewhat ironically likeable) weird (?) cello solo.

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