Montenegro: RTCG 2 To Broadcast Live the “75th Festival di Sanremo 2025”!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

One of the most famous and successful song festivals of Europe, but of the whole world as well, is the Festival di Sanremo, which is going to take place at the Ariston Theatre in Sanremo for 75th consecutive year. As a result, and because of its great popularity, even more countries announce their will to broadcast it live.

So, after Romania announced earlier this week the live broadcasting of the Festival, there is one more country with the exact same intent. The discussion, of course, is about Montenegro, whose national broadcaster, Radio Televizija Crne Gore 2 (RTCG 2), revealed that the 75th Festival di Sanremo will be aired live.

This is of course a continuous tradition, since 2020, when the Balkan country aired the Festival for the first time. This year’s broadcasting will take place from the 11th of February to the 15th, at 20.30 CET.

Remember here that Montenegro was the very first country that revealed its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, since Nina Žižić won the country’s national final with the song “Dobrodošli“. Žižić has already participated in Eurovision in the past as a member of the group Who See, with the song “Igranka”, back in 2013. Montenegro will compete at the first half of the Second Semi-Final on 15 May.

Montenegro: Are NeonoeN at risk of being disqualified from Eurovision 2025?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Is there a possibility that the band NeonoeN and their song “CLICKBAIT” will be disqualified from the 69th Eurovision Song Contest?

As it was revealed via the official accounts of the national broadcaster of Montenegro and Montesong on Instagram, there is a possibility that “CLICKBAIT” and NeonoeN will be disqualified as representatives of this Balkan country. Specifically, the national broadcaster of Montenegro RTCG will investigate a video in which the band is seen performing their song at last year’s Kulture Zabjelo festival, that is, before September 1, 2024.

The final decision will be made tomorrow on whether “CLICKBAIT” will remain Montenegro’s entry for Eurovision 2025, following consultation between RTCG and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

In the event of the band’s disqualification, the second-place finisher in the Montesong 2024 ranking, Nina Žižić, will most likely take over the representation with the song “Dobrodošli”.

Montenegro: One withdrawal from Montesong 2024 and its replacement!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We are about three weeks away from the first national final for Eurovision 2025, Montesong 2024, which is going to take place on November 27, and through which Montenegro returns to the Eurovision Song Contest after a two-year hiatus.

While the final list of the artists and their songs with which they will claim the representation of the Balkan country in Basel, Switzerland, was published on October 10, two changes were announced today. The first change concerns the withdrawal of Boban Rajović with the song “Suze” who left for personal reasons according to his post on his personal Instagram account.

“My dear followers,
Mainly due to my private commitments and the lack of free time, I was forced to withdraw from the “Montesong” competition. I think it’s unnecessary to talk about my wish to represent Montenegro at Eurovision, but it just wasn’t meant to be this year, which doesn’t mean that my wish won’t come true in the future. Honestly I would like the best song to win. I would like more to see that the winner will be the one that the people vote. Thank you for your understanding.” 

Immediately after the above withdrawal, the national broadcaster of Montenegro RTCG announced that he will be replaced by Tamara Živković with the song “Poguban let”.

So the updated list of participants is as per below:

  1. Anastasija Koprolčec – “Kraj”
  2. Bend “9” – “Stop War”
  3. Dolce Hera – “Repeat”
  4. Đurđa – “To Ljubav Je”
  5. GlumciBend – “San”
  6. Isak Šabanović – “Ljeto, Ljeto, Ljeto”
  7. Kejt – “Obala Raja”
  8. Luka Perazić i Rade Vukčević – “Dva Srca”
  9. Luka Radović – “Kada Dođe Maj”
  10. Milena Vučić – “Škorpija”
  11. Nemanja Petrović – “Među Zvijezdama”
  12. Neonoen – “Clickbait”
  13. Nina Žižić – “Dobro Došli”
  14. Tamara Živković – “Poguban let”
  15. Tina Džankić – “Nova”
  16. Verica Čuljković – “Čuješ li”
