FIRST GAME FOR POINTS

Pretend you have been employed by Montenegrin television to give them advice  on the kind of song they should give to HIGHWAY to sing in STOCKHOLM.
My answer is that since the group consists of 3 singers, let each one do his part of the song in a different language, so guy 1 does his part in Montenegrian, guy 2 does his part in English and guy 3 does his part in Swedish since they will be on stage in Stockholm.
Avoid copying IL VOLO but give them a song that is easy on the ear for the majority of people that will be casting a vote.
So you see it will not take a lot of time and you can be as creative as you wish.

Euro acts appear at Sunčane Skale festival in Montenegro

suncane skale

The 21st edition of the popular music festival Sunčane Skale took place earlier this week in Herceg Novi, Montenegro. Many Euro acts guessed in the festival that was held over two days. The first part of the festival was a competition for lots of up and coming acts. The second night was a festival where acts performed their latest hits.

Former Eurovision acts performed at the festival including Magazin (Croatia 1995), Pamela Ramljak from Feminnem (Bosnia-Herzegovina 2005 and Croatia 2011), Jelena Tomašević (Serbia 2008), Bojana Stamenov (Serbia 2015) and Knez (Montenegro 2015).

The competition part of the festival was won by Karin Soiref from Gibraltar with Sing My Song. Karin got to perform this again as part of the festival on the second evening. Karin was later interviewed and she said she “would like to represent Gibraltar at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest”.

FORTH QUESTION – of 12

Today’s question is about Montenegro because many people commented on me wearing a Montenegro t-shirt during the interview last night with the KYKNET show, FLITS. I have received many t-shits over the years at Eurovision and have 41 of them. The Montenegro one is my favourite because of the little design that looks like a vinyl single. Any way, the question is that Montenegro had a song in Eurovision one year composed by Ralph Siegel. This is also the only Montenegro entry covered in Afrikaans. Give the title of this song.
