Bosnia and Herzegovina Croatia Kosovo Macedonia Montenegro Serbia Slovenia I've noticed that these countries always get bad results in song contests. Do you agree with this?

They really are! These countries have some amazing music on offer, some more unique than most parts of the world. They have such beautiful languages, and great singers on offer! Most of my annual favourite ESC songs come from the ex-Yugoslav countries. Kalopi and Eva Boto were amazing! I do try and award points to them regarding I like the song, I do think they are underrated in contests as some people prefer the mainstream and more recognisable artists, whereas I prefer the more unknown and different kind of songs. I'll continue to support them, and I really hope they all win a song contest.

Definately! I think there music is underrated. I don't know what they call that music but it is great mucis. In ESC I loved Kaliopi, Eva Boto, and I kinda of like Zeljko and Nina Badric. I gave 8 points to Slovenia in the OVSC #29 semi final. Italiana and Zapoj Slovenija in OVSC #27 should have qualified i think i gave them high points I've probably given those countries the most points overall. No EX-Yugoslav country has won OVSC. I can't even remember any contest where an EX-Yugoslavia won.

Croatia, Serbia, Kosovo and Macedonia (FYROM) have all won contests at least once
Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina always send unknown entries that never do well. Montenegro very rarely participates in contests

I think Slovenia has also won a contest somewhere with Maja Keuc - "Zmorem" But yes, they are very underrated in the contest

I don't think that they're underrated.

I almost vote every time for Serbia and Slovenia but the others not that much so maybe i have to listen to the songs more carefully

I agree, first of all Kosovo is still a part of Serbia, it`s not an independet country. But anyway it`s available participate in the contests.. I`m really really glad that Serbia had a few victories in some contests. Also and Slovenia,Croatia and Macedonia had. But the others.. whatever I`ve sent for Bosnia & Herzegovina or Montenegro it had usually always failed to qualify for the final. I guess people prefer other popular singers and only songs in English.
