Eva Boto - Verjamem - Live - 2012 Eurovision Song Contest Semi Final 2

[@SilverStrumer]

She was 16 at the time. Youngest participant in the contest! Keep trying Slovenia, I think you'll qualify one day!

[@1CloudJumper]

They did 2011 with one of the best songs of the 2010th shows.

[@gotillodesangre7310]

Tinkara did this year :D

[@connorgeorge6294]

And in 2007

[@sadje200]

Connor George And in 2011 :P

[@stemourning]

2015 too!

[@MrJGeorge]

After three years I still wonder how this masterpiece failed to qualify to the final,but ending pre last.. This was my third favorite that year,it was the most underrated song of 2012! :/ At least Slovenia's achievments have changed the last two years now! Much love from Greece!^^

[@conorodonovan8093]

MrTzGiorgos ikr and with the current voting system it would have come last

[@eftebermichaelson1939]

its fucking shite thats why

[@instantkarma9379]

it failed because that semifinal was loaded with ex-yugo ballads in native language - Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia and Slovenia simply got lost among them.

[@morbidsearch]

Was Malala the girl who ran in the Olympics?

[@TwoRedPassports]

I am still wondering the same after 10 years…

[@jesperhjellnes5861]

My favourite entries from Slovenia: 1. VERJAMEM (2012) 2. Stop (2005) 3. No one (2011) 4. Round and round (2014) 5. Here for you (2015) Slovenia is my favourite country at ESC, and I'm very surprised Ljubljana hasn't hosted ESC yet.

[@Herthaner0511]

Agree with you! Slovenia is the most underrated Eurovision-country!!! The most entries are very good, in my opinion only 2010 was bad, but not the worst (worst of 2010: Estonia!). And Slovenia is my favorite country to :) Greetings from Germany!

[@Herthaner0511]

+BSC Dennis *too AND I'M VERY IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG!!!!!!!

[@nikolaalovic8223]

Slovenia hosted a 1993 semi final

[@pianoaddict7752]

One of my 3 favourite ESC countries too :) Like, in 2011 it deserved victory, in 2012 it deserved at least top 10, in 2013 top 10 too :), in 2014 it was AMAZINg, 2015 wasnt that underrated thank goodness and 2016 is amazing, but is really underrated....

[@Mislavvvv]

listen to Cvet z juga :)

[@Menelvagorothar]

Probably the best song we ever sent on the ESC. And totally overlooked. Such a pity.

[@ΒικηΑποστολοπουλου]

Slovenia is the most underrated country in the contest,i truly believe it..:(

[@sktzn6829]

This song's structure is like Molitva's This structure applies to both songs: For the First verse and First Chorus the backup singers just stood there. The Backup singers start singing at the second chorus. They both have some sort of cut-off or instrumental after the First Chorus They both have the backup singers singing while main singer sings high note after Second Chorus. Powerful Final Chorus Ending with all of the backup singers standing behind or next to main singer. First Verse - First Chorus - Instrumental(in this case: aaahh-ah-a-a-aaah) - Second Verse - Backup singers singing while main singer sings high note - Final Chorus - Epic Ending. Anyways this deserved to qualify and place in the Top 15. What a shame Europe. Slovenia is always so underrated. It qualifies but always places behind 15th place. Maja doesn't count cos she deserved to win :P At least the televoters did Nusa justice in 2001 and placed her 7th. Still not good enough, she also deserved to win XD

[@cristianvalenzuela9409]

@Jan Genc mish, thx for the info, i didnt knew.

[@cristianvalenzuela9409]

another anecdotic tip, 4 of the chorus girls are the same sing with Maja Kreuc in 2011.

[@MrTheZMAI]

And kinda similar chord progression

[@Denis-89]

Maybe cause its the same writer?

[@personalityexplosion3046]

Dear people of Slovenia, I am passionately jealous that you always send such amazing songs to esc!!! we haven't sent a good song since 2002 and you amaze me every year

[@birdiboombox6750]

wats your country??? Im gonna take a wild guess... Latvia or Finland???

[@personalityexplosion3046]

I live in the UK but good guess :-) are you Slovenian?

[@birdiboombox6750]

No, but i thought that the UK had some great songs after 2002 :D You could be proud over some songs from the UK like in 2014. :D

[@personalityexplosion3046]

there are some great ones but we have come last three times

[@birdiboombox6750]

Well, if you count 2001, then we came last three times too :D

so underated. deserved to be in the top 10 and so is belgium 2012

[@JTKCorporation]

Eva and her beautiful ballad even has listeners here in Singapore. :) We don't know a word of slovene but her performance is pure magic. It's eurovision final's loss that slovenia didn't qualify.

[@TimmmTim]

Slovenci pjesma je bila odlična i zaslužili ste finale i visok plasman, ali što ćemo, Europa nekad ima loš ukus!

This was indeed a very underrated entry in this contest. Well, underrated and overrated entries are a problem every year, and I feel sorry for Eva she had to suffer from this.

Actually this was so powerful song , this is one of my Slovenian favourite entries of all time. A crime that it was not qualifying to the finals..

[@pomina5653]

This is just... beautiful. Beautiful song, beautiful girl, beautiful voice, beautiful language, beautiful message, beautiful outfits... but I understand that it was too much for some people. I'm sure that many people who watched the performance for the first time were like "Yeah, it's the bride with her bridesmaids" and they made fun of the act and that's why they failed to qualify. In my opinion, it should have qualified. Damn, Slovenia is always so underrated...

If the same song was sung by Sweden,Russia,Azerbaijan or United Kingdom,it would have been the winner or it would have finished in top 5(or at least in top 10).But unfortunately it is slovenia and Europe cannot recognize this masterpiece when it is sung by such countries.I hope Slovenia will not be robbed in 2015.Their entry is awesome!

Ljudje, najpomemnejše je to, da kljub temu, da se nismo uvrstili v finale, se nismo sramotili! Imeli smo dobro pesem in dobro izvajalko, tako da smo lahko na Evo ponosni! Pred sto milijonsko publiko smo peli v slovenščini in pokazali ponos na naš jezik kljub naši majhnosti! Ta nastop meni deluje kot neko sporočilo Evropi, da se ne damo in da gremo naprej ne glede na to kaj se zgodi! Tako kot Eva poje: ''Ker jaz se ne predam pred koncem'' Verjamem, da nam bo enkrat le uspelo... SLOVENIJA

Plus, it's not only the impecable Eva's vocal, it's also the composition of the song (Graić, who wrote Molitva), the backvocalists... Everything was perfect! And yeah, this is how we get treated... Eurovision has proven again that it's a festival without real quality. Eva goes beyond this contest... Kisses to all the fans!

Hey Eva! Greetings from London - you found a new fan. This was my favourite in the 2012 Eurovision by a long way. The song was beautifully crafted and beautifully performed - I've listened to it several times a day since first hearing it in the semi finals and still haven't tired of it. I thought it was top 3 material and was disappointed that this wasn't the case. There really is no justice in Eurovision.
