- Emina Jahović
- Milan Stanković
- Oliver Katić & Jelena Marković
Your opinion
A poll will be launched after the songs have been performed for the first time.
LIVE
The show has started.
A video montage introduces tonight's composer. The clip also features pictures from his interval act performance in Belgrade 2008.
1. Emina Jahović
Emina Jahović performs the first of three up-tempo Balkan songs. Her entry is very hectic and so is the stage performance. Despite the chaotic impression overall, the song might stand out in the line-up of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010, which is dominated by ballads. The song might lack a strong verse and rather sounds like the chorus is repeated over three minutes.
2. Milan Stanković
The second song is in a similar style as the first time but it is a bit more melodical. The performance features many clichés of Serbian folk music, which might be look slightly comical to foreigners. Nevertheless an interesting performance.
3. Oliver Katić
It seems to turn out that all three Serbian songs might have similar chances in the Eurovision Song Contest. Oliver however seems to be the artists how dives the deepest into his own song and he delivers a confident performance.

Milan Stanković has won the national final and will represent Serbia in Oslo.

I always loved the songs from Serbia a lot and I still do love this very traditional sound. Even if this one is great too, people could get sick of those things by now, because we really have a lot of Balkan, don´t we?
It puts me in a good mood, good luck! Really very Bregovic!
Wow serbia chose the completly wrong song for sure... the "best" song was by far the one by Emina - it's not that it was great but it was kinda funny... and would have been the best choice for Oslo. The song by Oskar had the best performance i think.... but his song was only the second best song after Emina.... Milans both song and performance was the worst of the three.... i am very disappointed with the choice 
Michal
Thank you very much! 
Love it!!! 
'BALKAN, BALKAN'!!!
This has to do well!!! nice one Serbia!!
last year's moldovan entry was thousand times better than this.. such an antipathic singer and average song.. i love ethno euro pop songs like "always","my number one" "düm tek tek", but i hate pure balkan tunes like "opa" and this one sorry serbia no final this year ..
Toggie
Thanks!
You see now how I'm "unlucky", I suported Salem and.....
Now I'm Marko Astronaut!
Of course this is not the best Bregovic song, it is simply, catchy, and quite easy I can say song! Nothing special, but interesting!
very very bad choice. i really don't like this song
Marko Astonaut
I love your new nick! I will watch divine Jelena T.'s performance on YT. Btw, I like the Serbian song ... not love but like so far. But since I have watched / heard it only once yet, it might still grow on me. For now I would say that there is much better stuff by Bregovic.
Such an amazing song by an amazing composer --- the live performance will do well in Oslo!
salem yes hes live preformance was great and i like this funny show 
SERBIA IS MY NUMBER ONE
Good job Serbian
I like this
"...Balkan, Balkan... " 
Now we're waiting on B&H
Emina was great too.
It would be a good choice for a balkan song contest lol
WOOOHOOO!!!! I loved him, Emina was good but her song wasn't that good, it lacked that something...
I am happy, especially coz most of the songs are so slow!
GO SERBIA!!!
WHY???????what a disapointment this year SERBIA? and you mr bregovic? what have you done???? the best was OLIVER
I quite like it, it was the best one, it recieved 58 000 of 129 000 votes!! I'm happy that our entry is 10000X better than last year, and I think he sings good live!

Pity you didn'r watcj J.Tomasevic singing "Djurdjevdan", I was 
!! It was AMAZING!
I think I prefer Bebi Doll. There is a complete mismatch between how it sounds and how it looks. Awful performance.
I AM SOOO DISSAPOINTED ! BLAH!
SERBIA IS MY NUMBER ONE
I LOVE THIS SONG!

1.SERBIA
2.FINLAND
3.BULGARIA
4.TURKEY
5.POLAND
Well done Serbia.The song is good
Awww... Well at least Emina didn't win! I liek the winner two, the second best. But poor Oliver - he was best. Anyway, great song that won too and a traditional performance!
Nelly Ciobanu has won but this time with shorter hair :-)
Milan won
great! serbia in top 5 im sure
go SERBIA great entry
Is this Severina???It's the new charlotte perreli...She is a...transformer! ...Worse than Charlotte actually!
I don't see any winning song here tbh!It's Bregovic so it will do fine but not a winner!Oliver is the best artist i guess...
Regina are great too! Can't get enough of this! I think this is possibly the best NF or definitely one of the best. With big thanks to the interval acts of course, lol. I can't wait for Zdravko Colic! I've been listening to his songs so much the last two days.
How do you find the songs? i didnt hear them.
After five shocking dissapointments this weekend with no outstanding songs (greece, uk, germany, estonia and especially sweden) please serbia give us a winning song. i cant stand one more dissapointment
