Part twenty-six

Introducing the 2009 entries: Montenegro

All entries in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest are known, but the actual contest is still about a month away. As a warm-up, we introduce one of the entries every day in random order. Part twenty-six is dedicated to the entry from Montenegro.

Basic information

PerformerAndrea Demirović (performing as Andrea) 
SongJust get out of my life 
LanguageEnglish 
MusicJosé Rodriguez, Peter Match (Ralph Siegel) 
LyricsGunter Johansen (Bernd Meinunger) 
Draw1st in the first semi final 

 

The song

Just get out of my life is an up-tempo disco schlager song. Through the lyrics, a lover is told to leave although the singer herself seems not to be able to leave that person having contradicting feelings:

 

                         It's too dangerous when we touch
                         And I love you much too much
                         Get out of my life babe
 
                         Just get out of my out of my out of my head
                         Just get out of my out of my out of my bed
                         It's beyond belief but true
                         I became a slave to you

 

The singer

Andrea Demirović became famous when she competed in the 2002 edition of the annual Montenegrin music festival Sunčane Skale. She would take part in a series of different music festivals over the following years. In 2005, she entered Montevizija, the Montenegrin semi final of Serbia & Montenegro's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest and finished fifth with Šta ce mi dani thus qualifying for the final. In the final, the song reached fifth place again.

In 2006, her first Album Andrea was released. Besides an own composition, most of the songs on the CD were written by Vesna Pisarovic, who had represented Croatia in the 2002 Eurovision Song Contest and had also written the entry for Bosnia & Herzegovina in the 2004 contest. In 2008, Andrea tried to represent Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest taking part in the artist selection. She finished second behind Stefan Felipovic performing the Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston classic I will always love you.  

In 2009, she was chosen internally to represent Montenegro in Moscow with the song Just get out of my life. She is the first female soloist to take part for the country. Later that year, she will release her second album and its first single is The queen of the night, an English version of the song La reina de la noche from the 2007 Spanish national final. Currently, Andrea is still a student at the music academy in Cetinje.

 

The national selection

The Montenegrin entry was selected internally for the second year in a row, but also the singer was selected by the broadcaster this time. The chosen entry was presented on the internet and made available for free download. The songwriters are all from outside the country, namely Ralph Siegel and Bernd Meinunger (who keep the record in having written the most Eurovision Song Contest entries) from Germany and José Rodriguez from Spain.

 

Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest

Montenegro entered the Eurovision Song Contest as an independent country in 2007. Both entries so far did not manage to reach the final. Montegrin entries under the flags of Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro took part in the years 1983, 1984 and 2005. In 1983, Danijel reached fourth place, one of Yugoslavia's best placings.

 

                     Crnoj Gori i Andrei želimo svu sreću i dobar rezultat u Moskvi!

This one was in my top10 at the time around 15-18 songs were chosen :P

The song is so far best Montenegrin entry in ESC (as it was difficult to achieve after Tragic boring and regular boring one).

Maybe the song has its catch (probably hidden in the nowhere spaces I cannot see), but even if it would be a hit, the greatest weakness of the song still remains a singer actually!

Repetitive melody and singer without any charisma singing in spot no.1 at the night is not a recipe for a success if you ask me.

They are very likable indeed. I think they will be better on stage. They seemed sympathic in the Dutch NF. Their clothes are so funny, lol. I am expecting VERY shiny suits again.

@FuGeE Volkova!
I would have liked De Toppers more if they hadn't used political propaganda in their video and gotten away with it. The song's alright. Maybe the older (female) viewers will appreciate it more, lol.

@T K
Your picture is still not funny. :P

And all this plagiarism attacks on this song are sooooooo lame. Natalia's song there sounds nothing like Andrea's. And it is only the first 2 seconds of Hot stuff that sounds similar and then the melody changes. Get over it!

@Marko
How on earth did Hind belong in the final? her song was so erk! There were far better songs that passed or should have passed!
Edsilia was ok, but nothing better...
So i am sorry, but this the year when the Netherlands have a good enough song, even tough i think they could have done better, and have a chance for a final..!


Night Elf [43921]
Mon 13 Apr 2009 13:45:12

Marko

I liked Hind in Belgrade... I hoped she will qualify... On the other hand Edsila had harder job in Helsinki since she compete with 27 counties in semi so I didn't hope much...

But I can possible imagine who will vote for Toppers... Since jury won't influence on semis (except for 1 country only) I don't understand why did Netherlands send them.


FuGeE Volkova! [13825]
Mon 13 Apr 2009 13:42:58

Hind belonged in the final..but her performance sucked..i mean her outfit and the whole thing. no doubt about her voice..it was the best of the whole evening!!!!!


FuGeE Volkova! [13825]
Mon 13 Apr 2009 13:41:25

Oh and btw the song of the toppers is remixed by John Marks and hes very popular in eastern europe..so u will see the toppers in the final!!!!! Oki maybe Edsilia should have been in the final..but for real..she only makes a song once in 5 years.


Marko Bojic FLOMALIPRSA [53665]

Night Elf
Last year Hind was OK, she deserved final like Edsilia in 2007!
But I don't know what NED expected with Treble in 2006 and this year with De Toppers, I don't know who will vote for it really! :S


Night Elf [43921]
Mon 13 Apr 2009 13:36:45

I hope we won't be surprised like last year FuGeE ;)

Maybe if they are pushed with juries... Otherwise :( But who knows what next ESC is bringing us hehe :D
