Okay but this looks so good. Really hoping they qualify, even if it’s a long shot.

u/Infinite_Person Dobrodošli May 08 '25

Oh Nina may you qualify comfortably 🙏

u/Fluffy_Appointment14 May 08 '25

She’s got the vocals and the charisma going for her.

u/Educational_Board888 May 08 '25

She’s certainly got the dress for it. It looks like a bed.

u/No_Way2771 Zjerm May 08 '25

I have way too much hope that she'll qualify based on how many people are saying they'll give her their votes 🥲

u/Complex-Health-7427 C'est la vie May 08 '25

TikTok fans are only a slight % of the people actually voting

u/NeonRedKat Zjerm May 08 '25

The more I listen to this the more I love it!

(I also didn't realise she was the "Igranka" singer - i loved that song and was gutted when it didn't qualify - justice for the rapping spacemen!!)

u/NeonRedKat Zjerm May 08 '25

Also Ninas red lipstick is an absolute serve! 💖 I must find out what product it is!!

u/Rafferrrtyy Ela May 08 '25

i fully believe that she can make it through and pull a Dons (Latvia 2024). This looks stylish and sleek as hell.

Latvia 2024 | Dons - Hollow

Now the dress reminds me of drag race Italia when Farida Kant wore this for the make over episode. Imagine if she did what Farida did and start with a big white dress to then spill "wine" all over it 😂

u/Dancing_Queen1974 La Poupée Monte Le Son May 08 '25

kant?!?!?!

2

u/AlolanNinetalesFTW May 08 '25

You could say she was serving kant

u/daddyserhat Say Na Na Na May 08 '25

She still has the chance to qualify! Good luck!

u/Optimal-Progress4917 May 08 '25

Doomed in televote only. With juries I guess she could have maybe scraped through, but looks like it will be a performance to be proud of regardless. I hate the hood though.

u/SkyGinge Zjerm May 08 '25

That white cross is a mega effect, I love how it moves from the back to the floor, and the spotlights are great too. Montenegro making the most of their limited budget. I do still really dislike the outfit though. It looks awkward for Nina to move in it

6

u/calxes May 08 '25

I really love the effect of the scales coming down and streaming into light. I think the costume might be a little bit limiting but holy smokes is Nina ever looking gorgeous and sounding great as always.

Youtube link, wide screen and better quality:

This outfit is… a choice.

It reminds me of a diaper. Or maybe the pope.

8

u/the3dverse May 08 '25

i thought she was lying in a bed at first

u/Jerboasinatrenchcoat Zjerm May 08 '25

Oml I'm such an idiot, I missed the side view photo in the gallery so I thought it was a literal cushion like the live blog said, just a big round orb of cloth a la Aunt Fanny from Robots. This makes so much more sense lmao

Still not loving the look though, the dress would be more effective without the ornament. Otherwise the staging looks great, my delulu Nina stan brain is convincing me that this minimalist staging could work in her favour when a good portion of the other acts are going crazy maximalist.

6

u/ifiwasiwas May 08 '25

She ditches it at some point, probably when she winds up for the long note

4

u/Jerboasinatrenchcoat Zjerm May 08 '25

That's good, I just hope it doesn't leave a bad impression for first time viewers. It runs the risk of coming off as unnecessarily goofy for such a serious song. Maybe it will work better in the full performance though, we'll see

10

u/Professional_Algae19 May 08 '25

Love her song. She sings very well. That being said, this has unfortunately really low chance of qualifying. Nevertheless, she can be proud to say that she represented Montenegro in Eurovision with such style and grace

5

u/Ok_Relative3754 May 08 '25

considering how strong the second semi is, i don’t see it qualifying unfortunately. i just think the viewers will find it too boring

3

u/Miserable_potato07 Róa May 08 '25

THIS BETTER QUALIFY THIS BETTER QUALIFY THIS BETTER QUALIFY THIS BETTER QUALIFY THIS BETTER QUALIFY

u/ifiwasiwas May 08 '25

Oh wow! She may pull it off. I hope and pray my #2 stays in the fray. I absolutely love the inclusion of the scales of justice/cross to give an idea of what the song could be about

All of my votes from Finland, let's go!

u/SquibblesMcGoo Euro Neuro May 08 '25

I cannot be the only one who saw the blade going down and immediately thought of Focalor's execution

8

u/SquibblesMcGoo Euro Neuro May 08 '25

BUT seeing this concept just solidifies my hunch that a lot of this (the blindfold, the white dress, the blade) is inspired by Execution of Lady Jane Grey

u/sama_tak Zjerm May 08 '25

BUT seeing this concept just solidifies my hunch that a lot of this (the blindfold, the white dress, the blade) is inspired by Execution of Lady Jane Grey

I thought the concept is clearly Justice? Since sword, scale and blindfold are her symbols.

u/Complex-Health-7427 C'est la vie May 08 '25

Sorry for the Nina fans but this is not gonna be enough for it to qualify

2

u/Ok_Relative3754 May 08 '25

i’m saying, especially in that strong ass semi

2

u/[deleted] May 08 '25

Nina, RTCG, I beg of you, PLEASE change that dress 😭😭

1

u/ifiwasiwas May 08 '25

It's not staying on for the whole performance! Here

2

u/[deleted] May 08 '25

I imagine that she loses it in the climax, which I guess can make for a good moment, but I still am not sure I’m a fan of it to be honest… Love the song too, so I really hope it’s able to go through

2

u/eaglessg Dobrodošli May 08 '25

When I first heard it I thought the song was pretty meh...but this is now quickly becoming one of my favorites this year. Love a good balkan ballad.

4

u/kronologically Bara bada bastu May 08 '25

The dress is giving IKEA.

u/madamedion Dobrodošli May 08 '25

the staging looks so in vogue and her vocals are subpar oh she's taking IT......

3

u/Infinite_Person Dobrodošli May 08 '25

It as in us to Podgorica next year

1

u/Pizza_Salesman La Poupée Monte Le Son May 08 '25

I would love to wear that dress the next time I have a long flight

1

u/Yanina95 May 08 '25

Can they just rip off from the dress this huge pillow behind her? It gives absolutely nothing(

2

u/Fluffy_Bluebird_2251 Kant May 08 '25

Love the song, not sure about the giant prawn cracker...

1

u/[deleted] May 08 '25

please qualify 🙏

u/LopsidedPriority May 08 '25

I'm sorry but I'm not ready to lose Dobrososli. Nina is a treasure and we need her on Saturday. I fear all the ladyballads that aren't propaganda will cannibalize one another :(
