Earlier this year Maya Sar was announced as the representative of the Balkan nation. During a special show on BHTV she presented her entry “Korake ti znam.” (I know your moves)
The performance is filmed in black and white which gives the song and old fashioned feel as well suiting the very classy exterior of the song. Maya is sat at the piano backed by a small band. She performs the song very simply and sings it very well. Unfortunately, the song is an extremely flat and boring ballad which does nothing until about 2:20 in when it finally moves up a gear. By this time I would guess most of the audience will have taken this as a cue to boil the kettle or go to the toilet.
There is very little movement or performance which is disappointing. Plus the song is in Bosnian and I think the majority of the people watching will fail to understand the feelings in the song or understand what it stands for. In addition the song finishes very abruptly which no crescendo or climax and I feel that there could almost be an awkward silence and the song ends.
I don’t think this is a good entry for Bosnia-Herzegovina and they are usually a shoo in for a place in the finals no matter what they put forward, however this year they may struggle.
