What can we say about Montenegro’s track record at Eurovision? Hmm, it’s not great. Their first five attempts 2007-2013 all failed in progressing to the final. Things have got slightly better recently with Sergej Ćetković finishing 19th with ‘Moj Svijet’ in 2014 and last year, despite looking alike a creepy uncle at a wedding, Knez pulled off the best Montenegrin result ever with ‘Adio’ coming in in 13th place.

In the six years they have competed to date only one of the acts (last year’s ‘Moj Svijet’ by Sergej Ćetković) has managed to qualify for the final and gave Montenegro their best ever result, finishing in 19th place. This year they are back and are hoping to build on their best result so far with veteran Montenegrin pop star Knez. Read on to find out what we think of their song for 2015 ‘Adio’.

Sergej does his best Daniel O’Donnell impression for Montenegro
As the birds chirp and the church bells ring the Montenegrin Eurovision song ‘Moj Svijet’ (or ‘My World’ in English) begins and sets the tone for the rest of the beautiful ballad. Then the flutes and strings kick in and I must admit there is something that an Irish man with a fondness for traditional music can truly identify with. I would go a bit further and even say it’s Continue reading
Armenia’s Aram Mp3 and Conchita Wurst from Austria tussle it out for most viewed video on YouTube
Nobody really knows who is going to win for sure at the Eurovision. You can use various different sources as indicators to the popularity of each song.
