Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Serbia returns to Eurovision and brings in big guns. Eurovision song contest winning composer Vladimir Graic is put in charge to compose three songs and one of them will be the Serbian entry in Vienna 2015. The artists will be revealed later. Serbia used this system already in the past when Goran Bregovic composed all songs in 2010 for diffrent acts. Vladimir Graic is of course the composer of Molitva , Serbia's winning song in Helsinki 2007, and he also wrote Verjamem , that represented Slovenia in 2012 but had a different fate (17th in the semifinal). He has composed also othe national final songs, like Beauty Queen's Zavet in 2008.  Recently he has been working with Milica Pavlovic , Nemanja Andjelovic , Zeljko Sasic , Milena Novakovic , Maja Nikolic , Tanja Savic and Ivana Pavkovic . Will some of them be among the possible entrants? Time will tell.... 

Serbia's Milan Stankovic surely didn't pass unnoticed in the Eurovision 2010 in Oslo. He gets the prestigious Barbara Dex award for the worst dressed performer and therefor join Adók Zoli, Gisela, Verka Serduchka, Nonstop. Martin Vucic, Sanda Ladosi, t.A.T.u, Michalis Rakintzis, Piacek, Natalie Sorce, Lydia, Guildo Horn and Debbie Sherri in the hostory books with this . Hic! Hop hop!

Milan Stankovic has recorded a Spanish version of his Goran Bregovic penned Serbian entry for Oslo 2010. Sounds weird but actually it sounds pretty good! Judge yourself here .

The three names to battle out the ticket to oslo 2010 from Serbia have been revealed today: Milan Stankovic, Emina Jahovic and Oliver Katic ft Jelena Markovic. They will all perform the song Goran Bregovic has specially written for Eurovision on March 13 and people will televote the best combination.

Well, as a writer that is. He will write several songs for the Serbian final and choose the singers for them.... He is very well known all over the world, a sort of Balkan Lloyd-Webber. Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina 59 years ago from a Croatian father and Serbian mother. He was in a very popular band Bijelo dugme in 1970's and 1980's and after that has been writing mainly music for films. He has written songs to singers Iggy Pop and Césaria Evóra so we can expect pretty much anything from him! He also performed in the interval act in Belgrade 2008 so he is no stranger to the Eurovision stage.
