Montenegro: Montesong 2024 Rehearsals Kick Off as Voting System is Unveiled

The rehearsals for Montenegro’s selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 have begun in Podgorica. With two days to go until the final of Montesong 2024, rehearsals are in full swing in the Montenegrin capital. The sixteen competing artists arrived in Podgorica yesterday for their first rehearsals, with today marking the first full day of rehearsals, including their stage outfits.

Danijel Alibabić from the Association of Entertainers spoke to RTCG, saying:

The performers have become familiar with the large stage and the sound. We are trying to use modern technology to make it easier for the performers to sing and perform. We will have 16 real Eurovision performances.

Whoever wins from the 16, they will win deservedly. We should all stand by the winner and see them off to Basel so they can do as well as possible at Eurovision.

The winner of Montesong 2024 will be determined by a 50% jury vote and a 50% public televote. The jury will consist of seven members, who will award points (1 to 7, 8, 10, and 12) to their ten favorite songs. These points will then be combined to give an overall jury result, which will again be converted into points from 1 to 7, 8, 10, and 12.

For the public vote, voters will be able to submit only one vote per phone number. Voting will be done via SMS and will cost 1 Euro. Voting will be open for 20 minutes, and the total votes will then be converted into points from 1 to 7, 8, 10, and 12.

In the event of a tie for first place, the tie will be broken by looking at which of the two songs received the most 12 points from the individual jurors. If this does not resolve the tie, the counting will continue with the 10 to 1 points. If the tie still remains, the jury President will determine the winner.

The order of performances is as follows:

1. Anastasija Koprolčec – “Kraj” (The end)
2. Tina Džankić – “Nova” (New)
3. Nemanja Petrović – “Među zvijezdama” (Among the stars)
4. Bend 9 – “Stop war”
5. Tamara Živković – “Poguban let” (Fatal flight)
6. Luka Radović – “Kada dođe maj” (When May comes)
7. Đurđa – “To ljubav je” (That’s love)
8. Kejt – “Obala raja” (Coast of paradise)
9. Nina Žižić – “Dobro došli” (Welcome)
10. Neonoen – “Clickbait”
11. Isak Šabanović- “Ljeto, ljeto, ljeto” (Summer, summer, summer)
12. Glumci Bend – “San” (Dream)
13. Dolce Hera – “Repeat”
14. Baryak – “Dva srca” (Two hearts)
15. Vercia Čuljković – “Čuješ li” (Do you hear?)
16. Milena Vučić – “Škorpija” (Scorpio)

Montesong 2024 will take place on November 27 at the Voco Sports Hall in Podgorica.
