Knez – Adio
Composed by a guy who has represented Serbia twice at Eurovision, this year’s Montenegrin act sounds just like 90% of the solo male vocal songs sent to Eurovision by a former Yugoslav nation in the last decade and a half. A pretty ballad full of ethnic symbolism and rising to a crescendo like a bubbling volcano, *snore*
This style of song seems to do ok at Eurovision. Željko Joksimović who wrote this song finished 2nd himself in his first Eurovision as a performer and 3rd in 2012. Montenegro is obviously hoping to piggy back off that however the bookmakers believe he will fail epically. Knez is not as visually appealing as Željko Joksimović for starters.
I don’t care for this song, but I am sure there will be a heap of people who will. If you want a bet on a long shot top ten finish, you could do worse than this. I think it will be a sleeper and possibly Montenegro’s best ever result, not hard seeing that was 19th.
They don’t have to send Ethnoballads, sometimes Montenegro tries to be interesting…
