Serbia had its national final Pesma za Evroviziju '24 for Eurovision song contest 2024 over a week as a three nights affair from February 27 to March 2, 2024. Teya Dora won with Ramonda over other favorites Breskvica who won the televote with seemingly controversial nationalistic lyrics, and Zorja.
Teya Dora (31) or Teodora Pavloska (Теодора Павловска) is a Serbian singer-songwriter and producer. She started studying music in Belgrad and earned a scholarship to Berklee Collage to Boston (yes, another one! I wonder how many Eurovision artists have studied there over the years?!?) One of her schoolmates there was Charlie Puth. After graduating she lived in New York as a songwriter. After returning to Serbia she wrote songs to other artists before making her singer debut with Da na meni je in 2019.
Last year she went viral in TikTok with Džanum, that gained 75 million views on Youtube, over 100 million streams on Spotify and peaked at #4 in the Spotidy Global Daily chart.
She has released eight singles so far and is yet to release her debut album.
So, what do I think? As a big fan of Serbian entries usually this one leaves me a bit cold even if it should be right my cup of tea. Her way of singing and the atmosphere of the song are quite depressing really, highlighted by the video and staging. It's sad. But not touching sad. Just depressing sad.
In our Home Jury Ramonda scored midtable scores so no one loved it nor hated it.
Below is how the selection went and in links once again my favorites.
