Top 5 esc entries from the Balkans
“era found dead after she leaves out several dozen songs from this top 5″ look it’s not my fault the balkans has such high-quality entries screech of tires as i’m run over by one of rtcg’s cars
molitva - marija šerifović (serbia 2007). there is a reason that this is the last balkan winner to date. nothing can beat it. my tiny bi heart can’t put anything above it.
lejla - hari mata hari (bosnia & herzegovina 2006). the drama this has. the way it should have won. yes, even over lordi.
κρασί, θάλασσα, και τ’αγόρι μου - marinella (greece 1974). you thought. you thought it was going to be my number one for greece. sorry, but i have to stick with the classics for this one. we sent marinella for our debut for a reason--she’s an amazing artist, and she’s still performing even though she’s in her eighties. icon.
mall - eugent bushpepa (albania 2018). he did it for the gays. so iconic he got eurovision blocked in china. stream the original four-minute cut because it has my favourite verses in it still.
hajde da ludujemo - tajči (yugoslavia 1990). this is how you do a host entry. it slaps so hard and could have won.
honourable mentions go to: moj svijet - sergej ćetković (montenegro 2014); inje - vanja radovanović (montenegro 2018); ktheju tokës - jonida maliqi (albania 2019); χόρεψε - marianna zorba (greece 1997); prisluhni mi - darja švajger; lane moje - željko joksimović (serbia and montenegro 2004), and way too many others.
