REACTING TO TEYA DORA "RAMONDA" // PESMA ZA EVROVIZIJU SEMI-FINAL 2 // SERBIA ESC 24

[@akizaizinskii]

If anyone is interested, here is an analysis: 1. Ramonda is a rare purple flower that grows on Mount Rtanj in Serbia and is known as the “Phoenix flower”. It can survive in harsh environments and can “revive” itself after dehydrating with only a drop of water. It was used as a symbol of the Serbian people in WW1 during which Serbia lost 1/4 of its population. 2. There are several lines in the lyrics that reference the famous exodus of the Serbian army (along with civilians) which travelled by foot over Montenegrin and Albanian mountains to Greece in harsh winter of 1915. Around 240.000 people died on the journey and were buried at sea in a Greek Island in what is known as “The Blue Tomb”. The line “there, under the water, everything is dead silent” is a reference to that. Furthermore, another line states “there’s nobody left to guide me towards the morning star” again symbolizing the life in them fading as well as the fading hope of the Serbian people and utter desperation that we would perish in the war. Then you have “The world burns, every flower dies, where have the purple Ramondas vanished” = where have all the Serbs gone? The song ends with “A single purple Ramonda rises from the ashes” symbolizing hope and just like the Ramonda flower resurrects, so do the Serbs.

Don't you think she could be forced to change the text? It could ruin the song to me.

[@mozilds]

​​@@calmperson7426why would she be forced to change to lyrics? maybe it could ruin it for you if you supported germany in the WW1. which would be quite unreasonable, but you do you.

[@egyptianhibiscus9203]

I experience the text as if she is talking about herself, like in Dzanum. I prefer it that way.

[@calmperson7426]

I am from Austria and Austria is not that interested in understanding WW1 history because Austria sees itself in the right. I am not for Germany or Austria. Imagine Austria does not want to hear about it. It could force a change of the text.@@mozilds

[@calmperson7426]

I see it as both.@@egyptianhibiscus9203

[@Stabitistabiti]

I liked Zorja’s song the most before Teya Dora’s performance, but now i think Teya Dora is better option😊

[@MalaSirena-og7ss]

Sa falsom?😂

[@twinkyicc]

​@@MalaSirena-og7ss Nijedan falš, ako ces ovako da komentarises barem nauci sta znaci fals

[@bluefoxvenus]

no ground for such a statement whatsoever.. Zorja is better in vocal, song, staging, looks everything than Teya Dora.. I rather feel Teya Dora would not even qualify at ESC finals, and everyone would be like oh i can't believe she did not go thru.. well, that is why Zorja is already in the ESC finals and probably Top 10

[@ESCNORKS]

​@@bluefoxvenus ur taking nonsense conclusions, as long i like way to much zorja, is not nice of you shaming other songs just because u have fav songs.

[@Sun_Qorrax]

​@@ESCNORKS It is kinds harsh but it is also true. Because it's a one chance, it depends if we send a better song for a good placement and I am 100% sure Zorja would get better placement than Teya Dora

[@Bionickpunk]

Teya Dora is releasing a music video for Ramonda on 1 March on her KZbin channel, so definitely something to check out when it comes out. This girl knows how to do stunning visuals and no doubt the music video will deliver.

[@SC-bq7ob]

Everything I saw and heard was perfect. I get chills everytime I hear that song. The staging is AMAZING... really the best of all Serbian acts and the Music Video looks so expensive. Please Serbia choose her

[@niklovann]

Teya and Zorja can’t be compared, they are completely different, both of them are amazing!

[@Lendargarda]

Ramonda is masterpiece!

[@esccse30]

You are so right! Its like a breath in the sea of all these speed up songs this year. The biggest issue we cannot decide either .. Zorja or Teya.. Both are awesome!!

[@bluefoxvenus]

we can, Zorja of course..

[@Baki89Mr]

@@bluefoxvenus No...to boring and seen before.

[@jobrock1079]

@@Baki89Mr It's not boring because of her beautiful voice, but she needs to improve the staging a lot.

[@Baki89Mr]

@@jobrock1079 she has a god voice but the song is typical eurovision ballad. Nothing special.

[@jobrock1079]

@@Baki89Mr I think the song works so well with her voice that it elevates it beyond the typical eurovision ballad. The song is gentle but kind of mysterious and spooky sounding, but they need to stage it to enhance that.

[@markojovanovic5901]

The only 2024 song that gives me winner vibe

[@JoskoMarinov]

Yeah. Let's pretend Croatian song doesn't exist then😆

[@hypatiatv1]

[@blackkiller6666]

She is my winner no MATTER WHAT 🖤

[@markobrezovic3200]

The performance was well thought-out. Especially the camera angles. The song is quite repetitive however the performance never felt boring and it elevated the song

[@Bionickpunk]

She also revised the climax of the song, Its way better than the studio version on PZE channel. The revised version is also showcased in her Music Video.

[@jobrock1079]

@@Bionickpunk I think she also added more strength and power to her voice after people complained about it not having enough energy.

[@Bionickpunk]

@@jobrock1079 Absolutely it gave the song much needed energetic moment, gives a sense of hopefulness after the dark.

No matter wich of our masterpieces we will send to ESC....they will not get the respect they deserve to get by Jury and Fan voting, because the songs are not western radio friendly and they are from Serbia with serbian language! Ramonda or Lik u ogledalu performed in english by Billie Eilish or Adele would be world number one hits!!

[@TDCT26]

I like Zorja's song better but Teya's staging is just flawless compared to Lik u ogledalu

[@jobrock1079]

I like both songs about the same but Teya Dora's staging was much better.

you may find this song familiar because Teya has a song „Džane” that went viral all around the world a few months ago

[@zarkostosic3921]

Listen Dzanum from Tea dora this song is simular world hit!!

[@Катарина-л7т]

It sounds like Dzanum her first song that went viral

[@nenadnenad3599]

The title of this song references a flower known by its latin name "Ramonda serbica", an endemic species that only grows in serbia, which is known for its ability to completely dry out and still revive once it gets water, a flower that can straight up come back from undead. Very similar to Ramonda Serbica is Natalie's Ramonda, flower of the same genus, In Serbia it's known as "Natalijina ramonda" named after the XIX century Serbian queen Natalija Obrenovic and it's used as a symbol of peace after WWI. In Serbia, to mark this day we wear a phoenix flower - Natalie's Ramonda, capable of resurrection, just as Serbia after WWI, in which it lost almost 1/3 of people.

[@abrielrobertsson4160]

Thanks for the description, but the flower is not endemic. Its found throughout the Balkans.

There's no one to lead me To the lights of star Danica (planet Venus) The world is burning, every flower Where did the lila ramonda go? Lila Ramonda Lila Ramonda Lila Ramonda Lila Ramonda Ramonda Lila Ramonda Lila Ramonda Lila Ramonda There's no one to lead me 'Cause the stars are all asleep Prayers don't help either. Where did the lila ramonda go?

This is the whole package. Before I saw the live performances, I was wanting Breskvica but her staging comes across as very cheap compared to Teya

[@goran3091]

Reading comments about the song Ramonda on various KZbin channels, I noticed that Serbians evidently have a penchant for analyzing song lyrics, pouring wisdom and insight onto the internet. Such a song would have been better suited for inclusion in a collection or anthology, where it could be studied and analyzed by schoolchildren. However, on Eurovision, it suffices for a song to appeal to the expert jury and the majority of voters in order to secure a better placement.

[@jobrock1079]

Yes, most Eurovision fans are into the music more and then the performance - vocals, energy, visuals. The lyrics don't matter too much unless some start thinking it is too political.

[@minadobra1]

The most of Eurovision voters are Gastarbajteri luckily, which was noted last year,so, Ramonda is a meaningful Serbian song,which can get lots of voters nevertheless judges from other countries xD@@jobrock1079
