Daniel Kajmakoski - Autumn Leaves
I find the selection for the Macedonian song interesting. Firstly they had international juries helping them determine the winner and all the songs that finished top three were miserable… I don’t mean they were bad; they just had a tone of misery. More interesting than that though is that the winner was determined 6 months before the Eurovision final. Imagine having to sped 6 months promoting a song, you would loathe it by Eurovision
This song is a victim of the 3 minute limit with a sudden ending that feels a little wrong. It will possibly suffer for having a less pretty singer. I dislike that he an X-factor winner and parts of this song scream ‘X-factor winner’s single’, but as long as he can execute on the night he should do ok.
Though the bookmakers have this song as fairly mid-range, this is one of the better songs Macedonia has sent to Eurovision, but considering Macedonia has qualified once for the final in the last 7 years, it isn’t hard to seem good in comparison. I think this will qualify.
During the National selection there were performances by former Eurovision entrants for Macedonia including the performer of this 2002 entry
