Eva Boto "Verjamen"
It's, well, a knockoff of this song.
Marija Šerifović "Molitva" Serbia 2007
I suppose it makes sense, since the composer of the winner of the 2007 was the same composer on the Slovene entry this year. Problem is in comparison to Šerifović, Boto seems like an elementary school teacher at a talent night., and no matter how good this song is and how well Boto performs the song, it's going to get lost with all the other Balkan female singers...
It's a shame, because Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, and Slovenia have sent really competent singers with songs that are, on their own, really lovely. But they're all the same. Dramatic ballads sung by a woman. They're likely to cancel each other out, and that's a shame because in a different year with different types of songs coming from the neighboring countries, each one of the four songs could do quite well.
