ESC Instant Request - 2004 SERBIA & MONTENEGRO!

[@monikaw6340]

Ahh finally, Zeljko, the Balkan King of Eurovision

[@user-gx4cd1jb9h]

@Alex Wade wow, took like 16 minutes but it didn't work!! >:( cause I don't have a girlfriend, and you are fake af.

[@kamilnurm8016]

This guy is probably one of the modern eurovision legends

[@jasamdjordje]

One of the best Eurovision songs ever. Željko deserves to win the ESC after the masterpieces like Lane, Lejla, Oro, Nije ljubav stvar and Adio.

[@esclad]

It's a wonderful song; I love how each instrument is introduced gradually to the final build-up. His voice is perfect. Possibly a masterpiece.

[@yasemindemiray]

I loved this song so much. I changed the lyrics to Turkish and made a lullaby for my baby 17 years ago. My son Daniel still loves this song.

[@milanj.k.6936]

[@strahinjamacesic3974]

Would love to hear this :)

[@LemonHelmmet]

@@strahinjamacesic3974 me too

[@TheLadySilverMoon]

This is probably one of the most influential songs in Eurovision. Ever since this song, so many Balkan countries has been inspired by the song, the instrumental part and the performance.

[@otromambo6431]

i love the balkan ballads!

[@nevillevector]

Zeljko composed next esc songs: Lane moje 2004 SCG Lejla 2006 B&H Oro 2008 Ser Nije ljubav stvar 2012 Ser Adio 2015 Mne

[@kika12peggy17]

he composed Adio as well? wow, he is so talented! I love all those songs!

[@mattia9651]

He also hosted the Eurovision 2008 in Serbia

[@kennet7837]

Didn't he also compose the Serbian entry "Oro" that year as well? [EDIT: I checked, and yes he did!]

[@FlowerTrollSan]

Kennet He also composed for Bosnia in 2006 and Montenegro in 2015.

[@olgabakida4248]

Ima li tu srbi??? pozdrav svim sa Russii) volim Srbja tebe do kraja zivota!!

[@kennet7837]

Zelkjo is a compositional genius! His Balkan ballads are musical masterpieces! This was my winner of 2004 despite Ruslana's energetic song and performance. He also wrote the entries for Bosnia & Herzegovina 2006 and Serbia 2008.

[@anghara2001]

and Montenegro 2015 :)

[@MrMrjack18]

Don't get me wrong: Lane Moje is very beautiful song BUT Wild dances as you said was too catchy and energetic for Lane Moje to beat !!!

[@jacquesschrap8932]

[@MrMrjack18]

@@jacquesschrap8932 So hot garbage it won first place !!! just your opinion buddy

[@jacquesschrap8932]

@@MrMrjack18 It won first place because of simps like you.

[@evehhr2]

He's the fucking King of eurovision, Europe owes Zeljko a victory honestly, Lane Moje is one of the best eurovision songs of all time

[@toypakat]

Johnny Logan is good, but Zeljko is the real king of Eurovision ❤️ If Ukraine haven't been so strong that year, this would have won for sure!

[@eurovisionestonia]

Again.. Any other year it would have won for sure 😂😂 My winner that year

[@MaCherie92]

Dude, finally!!! I screamed when I saw this!! This was sooooo close to the victory that I almost cried when Ruslana finished first. But yeah, one of the best ESC ever - iconic!!

[@LynisaStark]

It’s such a simple but heartfelt song! You understand the beauty without speaking the language

[@JaNeZoKu]

Masterpiece- the instruments, the composition, the mood of the song. My winner from 2004 and one of my all-time favourite ESC songs!

[@stuey0013]

Yes!! Finally :D Ruslana (Ukraine) was first with 280 points, Zeljko was second with 263 points :) Here are the lyrics and my attempt to translate them: Kad na te pomislim (When I think of you) bojim se da te opet zavolim (I'm afraid to fall in love with you again) u modre usne zarijem zube (I bite my cold lips) da pravu bol zaboravim (To forget the real pain) Lane moje, ovih dana (My fawn, these days) više i ne tugujem (I don't even feel sorrow) pitam samo da'l si sama (I only ask if you're alone) ljude koje ne čujem (People that I don't hear) Lane moje, noćas kreni (My fawn, go tonight) nije važno, bilo s kim (With whomever, it doesn't matter) nađi nekog nalik meni (Find someone who looks like me) da te barem ne volim... (I wish I didn't love you...)

[@lilacinsd]

Nice, I would only add that "modre" means bruised. In the clip version they had the choir part (here 5:30) "Nek' neko drugi usne ti ljubi, da tebe lakše prebolim" (May someone else kiss your lips, so the pain will pass easier) was not included here, which is also very beautuful. In the video, even if there is a wedding theme/preparation, it's not the theme lyrics-wise, but lovely anyway, not to forget the Ad Hoc orchestra here as well 😃

[@littlejohnuk]

my winner from 2004 - great performances communicate directly this is a masterclass.

[@makinikolic6152]

Omg I love this song so much😭♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@mieroth]

This is a beautiful song. It's considered a favourite by ESC fans, not only Serbian or Montenegrin fans, so I'm very happy you reacted to this!

[@s.m.a8182]

yesss finally, zeljko is so good, I'm not from serbia but he is one of my favorites! such a legendary voice..

[@Agju]

Zeljko always makes me melt

[@irina1296]

Ukraine, Serbia & Montenegro and Greece were fantastic that year. Top 3 was fair

[@dubikland]

There was an amazing year, three best songs(for me) were in top3. Ruslana, Zeljko and Sakis, everyone could won. Still have them in playlist.

[@peterdavies2287]

oh this guy reakky knows how to compose a Eurovision entry and this is just magnificent

[@losh_mi87]

Best song ever

[@hugfal-animepiano1178]

One of my all time favorites

[@Bandido894]

Certainly one of the best entries, always liked even more than Molitva.

[@MilosGaming]

this is masterpiece

[@linestrandandersen3792]

Yas! Finally, Zeljko 😃😍🎉🎉🎉

[@lolworld702]

[@ronnopotter]

Balkans never fail to deliver those amazing ballads. Please Jake react to Spain 1995, Anabel Conde "Vuelve conmigo" she was the runner up after Norway ("Nocturne" by Secret Garden)

[@irrevirre1]

[@lpmuse294]

Greece that year was so entertaining and got the third place 💟💙 I loved Serbia and Montenegro too 💟💟💖

[@piktasvaikasvid]

thank you for reacting to this :) it's my all time favorite! i feel that the 2012 song is stronger but i have so much sentiments towards this one. lane moje♥

[@mirroroffthewall5932]

It’s so hard to choose between this song and his 2012 entry but I think i will pick this one. I’m glad you seem to like Balkan ballads as much as I do. I can’t wait to see your reaction to Bosnia 2006.

[@URosh-cv5bt]

React to Jelena Tomasevic (she represented Serbia on esc 2008) with song "Jutro" (Zeljko Joksimovic wrote this song). She competed with this song on Serbia&Montenegro national final 2005 and she was big favorite for winning Eurovision 2005, but Montenegrian jury sabotaged her.

[@TheMixrs]

The best Serbian entry to never be sent :(

[@martinhill9261]

My favourite Eurovision song of all time.

[@Lobachevsky95]

Jake, eurovisions 2004-2007 were the best of all! You could do more of them

[@Andjelka99]

Also loving that you uploaded when it's morning in Serbia hahahaha

[@wali3944]

bosnia 2006 , Macedonia 2012 next :)

[@alexc.5105]

Thank you Jake for all these reactions. Could you please react to Switzerland 1956? Or even better, could you please make a sort of "throwback thursday" serie once a week where you react chronologically to all the Eurovision winners? I'm sure you'll relate to some of them, or else you'll be entertained. There are some cult songs.

[@aneta3098]

When reading any word from former yugoslav countries' languages just know that each letter is read as it is written, no skipping or smth like that :)

[@lailaagrado]

Song translation: My Fawn When I think of you I'm afraid I'll love you again On bruised lips I sink my teeth So that I forget true pain My fawn, these days I no longer mourn I only ask if you're alone People who I don't hear My fawn, go tonight It is not important who with Find someone like me So that at least I don't love you

[@DatMilu2K]

Loved your reaction, the song really is amazing and its a little sad it didnt win. :)

[@user-qt7rg8lq3y]

You're THE BEST ❤🌼❤🌼

[@alex_gaimar]

I think you've stopped reacting to 2nd places at 2007. Because I don't remember you reacting Dima Bilan's first attempt in 2006.

[@rosenblau]

Here is the translation of the song lyrics from Serbian to English: My doe When I think of you, I'm afraid to fall in love with you again I bite into my blue lips to forget the real pain. My doe, these days I don't even grieve anymore, I only ask if you are alone, the people I can't hear. My doe, leave tonight, it doesn't matter with whom, find someone like me so that I don't love you at least.

[@PaulKalak]

Please, Jake, you just have to watch an react to Dimash's performances, starting with S.O.S and Adagio at 'The Singer' contest. I bet you've never heard anything like that!..

[@EuroBogan]

The winner that year was Ukraine, with Ruslana singing "Wild Dances"

[@PaulKalak]

No, singing! And performing!

[@tolkiensal]

AMAZING SONG

[@andrewbirch9854]

nice to have a older reaction . So were back to 2016 . Please at some point could you cater for older eurovision fans as the newer fans seem to get everything eurovision has changed so much the biggest change was 1974 with Abba and then the diffrence between the 1999 contest and the 2000 contest was huge it seemed so muxh bigger in a grand scale then 2004 more changes semi finals and dvds cds etc and just got bigger but there are diffrent kind of fans the nrw ones who are only intresed in last 5 years and older fans that love the contest for dobkeys years but only the late comers are getting what they want .

Greetings from Serbia!

[@Johan-ct3xg]

Never was a huge fan of this one. I prefer his 2012 entry a lot over this. Also please react to Italy 1997, Fiumi Di Parole

[@nadirnovruz]

Azerbaijan 2012 and Turkey 2008 please😍

[@theRAV4000]

please react to Poland 1994 (Edyta Górniak - To nie ja). It was our debut in Eurovision and also the best placement ever (2nd place, and honestly should have been first, not saying it just because im polish). Since then Edyta Górniak is a star in Poland.

[@glassgloss8636]

Finally!!!

[@daki1276]

I really thought Zeljko will win that year but he sadly does't won. After him sang Jelena Tomasevic 2016 with her song Nunane and this was the worst song she could represent she could sing her song Ej suzice brojanice one of the Best and most emotional songs ever and than 2017 came Marija Serifovic and i really does't thought we will win after i heard the song i knew it's done Maria will Win and she does because she really deserved it! God bless you guys 🙏❤️

[@andrewbirch9854]

just a question why was 2004 the cut off point of winner and runners up reactions .

[@lilacinsd]

andrew birch I think it was because of some kind of owner's right to the material and the availability on KZbin, but he has talked about that in an early video, maybe someone else remembers the details. Also he has reacted to Sertab, as you most likely know, the winner of 2003 🙂

[@petrtrachowski1888]

Wow

[@birkinater1139]

[@lailaagrado]

the winner of that year was Ukraine with Wild dance-Ruslana

[@visnjamilicevic6133]

lyricstranslate.com/en/lane-moje-my-fawn.html Here you go Jake, the lyrics in english. As for the song, people in Serbia were very angry this song didn't win but Ruslana's, and we still think it's one of the best performances of our country ever. :)

[@andrewbirch9854]

i noticed my coment was taken down im disapointed in this as i had a good point its sad im not aloud a point of view as a eurovision fan for 30 years plus all i was saying i think its sad anythibg before 2003 doenst exist and its only the new eurovision fans that have only came aboard the last few years get a look in i still stick with my point of view even its its taken down again as i belive im thinging as a proper eurovision fan .
