Macedonia
Jana Burčeska - Dance Alone
Posted by: LexC 21st November 2016, 09:49 PM
Macedonia have confirmed that they're going with some singer called Jana Burčeska. Songwriting team being assembled to create a "“modern and attractive Eurovision entry that will present the country in front of the European and worldwide cultural public” (http://esctoday.com/138751/fyr-macedonia-jana-burceska-eurovision-2017-kyiv)
Interesting that they seem to be using more or less the same strategy that Bulgaria used last/this year. If it delivers something as good as If Love Was A Crime then you can count me in!

So this was one rumour about chaos behind the scenes in Macedonia:
Macedonia have reportedly been saddled with a jazz back-up entry that was potentially going to be Poli's entry for Bulgaria last year until they settled on If Love Was A Crime.
A new rumour now suggests Macedonia actually have another song by the same team behind the Serbian song (Rise Like A Phoenix, If Love Was A Crime team). Either way, we'll find out on March 10th!

Apparently called Dance Alone and is produced by a Bulgarian-Swedish team, released this evening.

There's the briefest bit of an instrumental clip available to listen to in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INDmsNek0MU video. Sounds like another uptempo party song!

I am actually happy with my country entry for a change 
SHOCK!
SO GOOD!

Another uptempo 
Really good song from Macedonia actually!
Posted by: LexC 10th March 2017, 08:25 PM
I really like that. It's the type of thing the likes of Azerbaijan could take into the top 10 but might struggle more than it ought to because it's Macedonia
Gotta say, Slovenia aside, the balkans are really BRINGING it this year.

What an unusual turn of events, it's normally the other way around.
This is a good song, not as standout as what the other Balkans have brought but a solid entry, and that helps because I'd really like them to qualify. If anything just because it's starting to get a bit ridiculous, if this doesn't make it, they'll have had literally one qualifier in a full decade.

The last few entries are making this contest much much more enjoyable now

First listen thought this was very good, second listen even better! She's going to be having Sacha Jean Baptiste so her staging apparently so hopefully this can be a qualifier 
Posted by: J▲hq 11th March 2017, 05:04 PM
Yeah, I feel like it deserves to be their first top 10 but given the track record, I think qualification would be enough and it will be RIDICULOUS if it doesn't even manage that.

It's my favourite entry this year. Absolutely LOVE this. Who'd have thought it?! Think my favourite Macedonian entry before this was 2006 or 2007, but this is MILES better. I'm sure you'll be in the final this year Boyan!
Posted by: ♫ Boyan ♫ 12th March 2017, 12:52 PM
Hope so David! Thanks. The positive reaction to the song are great but also quite strange after all those flops

This is an absolute bop, something you don't really come to expect of Macedonia!!
Posted by: Hayzayy 13th March 2017, 08:15 PM
Ooh love this! Nice little bop!

This very much reminds me of those electro house tracks that were big in the late 00s. That ain't to say it's dated, it still feels current and those 80s electro clashes in the chorus are sublime. Surely they're qualifying this year?

Great entry *.* Macedonia's best since 2006/7 for me, though I did love Dona last year too.

This is so good tho *.*. Never really expected something like this from Macedonia. Hopefully this will be able to qualify
