Macedonia did the same thing a lot of other countries have done this year, they went with an internal selection and asked Kaliopi to be their representative.
I really don't blame them. Kaliopi is a successful singer in the Balkans and has been a well known singer in that part of the world--winning awards since the mid 1980s. Besides, she's been to Eurovision, sort of, before. She attempted to represent the country back in 1996 with this song:
Kaliopi "Samo Ti" 1996
It didn't make it past the preselection process that happened, so she didn't get a chance to perform on stage in Oslo.
And now, sixteen years later, she's back with this song:
Kaliopi "Crno i belo" 2012
I really have no opinion on this song, other than the fact that I love Kaliopi's voice, and the hard rock guitar makes the song stand out from the other Balkan ballads I've listened to, but that's about all I can say about it.
Who would have thought that I would be stymied by a Eurovision song?
