Serbia

Nevena goes on another great vocal live. The backing is in gold and blue; the video art shows swirl of those two colors, both in the background and on the LED floor. There's a use of augmented reality if I caught this right, where the swirl surrounds her.

Nevena Božović goes on stage with a black strapless dress and some big silver accessories. The stage is dark, with a yellow supernova (?) in the video art. She sounds absolutely amazing vocally. The whole package seems very elegant. Nevena and the backing vocalists making some vocal runs and it could work. People cheered in the press center. I see it qualifying to the final from the 5th-8th position.

Their absence in 2014 has most definitely revived Serbia's desire for Eurovision glory.

Sanja and her song couldn't be more different from Bojana last year, but my god, she sure does not let down.

Joined by four backing singers, and a dancer who's portraying the abuser in the song, Sanja's delivering power vocals. Gone are the exaggerated facial expressions, from the official video.

Really impressed by this, and think this is gonna do extremely well next Thursday AND Saturday.
