Last year’s Montevizija winner

Stevan Faddy for Montenegro!

Stevan Faddy has won the first ever Montenegrin Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection, Montenegro Song2007 with the song Hajde kroči. He becomes the newly independent country's first representative at teh longest running televised music competition.

No Name sang their 2005 Eurovision Song Contest entry Zauvijek Moja at the beginning of the show, whilst the guest stars were Dmitry Koldun, this year’s Belarusian entrant singing amongst other songs Work your Magic.

Slovenias’s Alenka Gotar sang Cvet z Juga. Just before the votes were announced, No Name performed Moja Ljubavi, the song which caused one of the biggest voting scandals in Eurovision history last year, resulting in the elimination of the former Serbia and Montenegro from the 2006 contest. A day after Lordi’s victory, Montenegro voted for independence from Serbia.


Since this is the Montenegrin debut in the Eurovision Song Contest, the winner of the final will be performing in the semi final in Helsinki on 10th May.

haha this is like a low-budget comedy, gosh that guy! who gave him songlessons he should get his money back! And my god that studio was really breath taking! speechless!

But I had hoped that he would sing about his hat or something to accompany his last years "hit"

Jelena:
does he really? :D Now, that is taste for you. What is everybody complaining about, then? Music and entertainment for the masses! :D Go, Montenegro!

Jelena, wow! I must confess I had so much fun last year watching the final - hahaha! It was just such a lovely, Balkan celebration of unity and brotherhood... :D I was watching with my sister and when they showed the final votes and No Name was declared the winner, she laughed and said, "I'll get the passports, you phone the UN and arrange for us refugee status in Italy."

I have only two Serbian friends, Mirjana and Ljdia, and they both phoned me a few minutes after the results were announced, one after the other. Mirjana asked how long it was going to be before my friends in Novi Pazar were living at my house - hahaha!

But I can't imagine to be in the Sava Center that night, it must have been so frustrating! They called and called for Flamingosi, and they got them to come out. How could we know then that it was finished, and Flamingosi wouldn't be going to Athens? :( I thought they would for certain!

I even took a picture to support Flamingosi! Look:

Anyhow, I hope to see us all together at Beovizija. :D

Stevan was today on stage with 5 ''friends''

2 girls with guitars
1 guy with guitars
Ex No Name member with drumbs
and one more guy with some kind of drumbs

So who say that No Name don't compete again ??? Slaven Knezovic and other No Name writers do this song,plus Ex member play drumbs on stage ??? :P

@euro o'cats
in one moment he shows us his ass...(that was...)

Well, hmm. Montenegro may be financially poor, but they still participate unlike some others (hello, Luxembourg and Monaco) who are richer. Their entry is nice but forgettable and would need a very charming performance. Could somebody less biased tell us what kind of performance Stevan puts on?

@Djamila
I'm not that sure..I will be there...and I don't forget some things
Last year after evropesma in "Nedjeljno popodne" he said that the public in Sava Centar had no idea about music and that we are PATETIC i miserbly....that words are still in my head(I was in Sava Centar las year)

Not just that Jelena
I hope to see all EX-Yuga countries except Montenegron competing in final,and only them vote from Semifinal(and it's most likely it will be like that)

Bosnia-Great singer,we can excpect great song,already in final
Croatia-If Jelena goes,no chance for Croatia to stay behind in Semi
Serbia-Whatever,every song is original and good,but Marija fave
FYR Macedonia-It's most likely that Karolina will qualify,coz Karolina is Karolina
Slovenia-Finaly in this year best Slovenian entry ever
Montenegro-Poor :(

I think if Liechtenstein,Luxembourg or Gibraltar had pre-selection they would make better organisation ,studios and blah,blah,blah of things neccesery for this kind of contest.
Song-nothing special.In this song some Montenegrian instrumental,and phrases "oj djevojko" . . .
I'm interested in which language they have sung?Montenegrian or Serbian? :) :) :) Noooo,it was maternji jezik,or mother language. :)

However,good luck,u'll need it!If there's nobody to give u points,we r ur brothers,we will give u ! :)

:) I was only joking,just a little bit ! :) Go!

Jelena, I think Faddy could survive the Sava Center if he came without No Name and Montenegrin judges. :D

Faddy on Beovizija??I don't think so...ha ha ha..all ex-yugoslavia countries will be there except Montenegro...they deserved that(for the last year)

Too bad that the other Yugoslav states aren't finished yet. It was so awesome last year having the contestants from Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia sing their songs at Serbia-Montenegro's national final.

This year Montenegro had just Slovenia - and Belarus? lol Wow... similar governments, perhaps. I wonder who will be in Serbia? Probably Slovenia also, maybe the rest of us will be there too!

Just horrible, old fashioned, they will remain stuck in the semifinal

What to say? Sad, sad, sad! The worse music program, or national final I ever saw in my whole life. Bunch of boring songs, bad TV presenters, TV set with balloons and one display, zero of glamor and contestant spirit, poor sound quality and bad singers. I'm so disappointed! The winner is some version of Montenegrin metrosexual, with average singing qualities and terrible song. Everything smells like the winner was already known. Bad start for Montenegro, for me, in quality and quantity of songs, and in organization of this manifestation. Looking forward to Croatian and Serbian finals, hope they will give us better songs.
Greetings for all!!!!

There are no words to describe how awful,dissatisfying,abnoxious, hilarious and at the same time sad the "show" was!Awful songs,dreadful vocals,terrifying wardrobe and gross winner!

I would've liked to see Stefan Filipovic win also - and not just because the music was written by Mirsad Serhatlic, hahaha. I liked the song. I also liked Nina and Dan poslije.

This song I don't like at all.

I still have hope for Serbia, though... I love one of the entries that isn't really a favorite, judging by people's comments. :) I love Nocas budi moj by Aleksandra Petrovic: http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=u7FACTrKX-8

I also like Molitva by Marija Serifovic and Senjorita by Jelena Kovacevic. :D

Bye Bye.....he couldnt even sing at the end....like he couldnt hear the song....organization was flawless in an improvised 5 x 3 m studio...and the backstage was amazing...such a great atmosphere....and the votes came from a studio 2 which looked like a bathroom rearranged...but it was clean...very clean....i havent seen such a nice show ever it was simpy amazing....and the song is absolutely stunning...so beautiful its like angels from heaven...really great effort from RTCG...if only Europe watched it to see how nice Montenegro..... LOL LOL LOL...oh and he will win in May.....

P.S yeah right!

@Uli
I so agree about Koldun!

Good luck Montenegro! I think you will need it.

What I said...Faddy is the winner...song-average but lyrics not(it is below any average)-awful.Their national contest describe in one world HORRIBLE(moderators,studio and at the end the big part of songs).I was for Stefan Filipovic but he has no chance to win because in Montenegro is probably ban to win any other writer except Minja Peric(1983,1984,2005) and any other author except Slaven Knezovic...so sad but good luck
