After an exciting final, Teya Dora was announced as the winner with her beautiful Ramonda.

Here is what we think about the Serbian entry for Malmö:

Jan: ★★★★☆

Beautiful singing blends with eerie tunes, creating a clear picture of Balkan mystery. This modern take on tradition, led by a woman, charms with its deeply moving story and powerful musical atmosphere.

Sebi: ★★★★☆

Sending this song to Malmö was an extremely smart move from Serbia. In this year’s line-up it is one of its kind, especially in the first half of semi-final 1, which is flooded with uptempo numbers. This will feel like a breath of fresh air and give the viewers some time to sit down and enjoy the song’s beauty. If this goes to the final (which I am sure of) it will receive a lot of jury love as well.

Dave: ★☆☆☆☆

Teya Dora wasn’t my favourite of PZE this year, but I can see how she has her fans. Best of luck to her in Malmö! She can certainly captivate an audience with her powerful vocals and performance. Perhaps this one will grow on me before we get to Malmö in May!
