Now that she's with a Swede on the brink of marrying him, imagine her winning Melodifestivalen AND THE CONTEST! I can just imagine the fury in my country.....
The juries rightfully saved this song from a poor placing, ranking it 4th vs the televote's 22nd place, for a combined result of 13th. Thank goodness for the juries.
Why do you think they brought the juries back? To counter block voting and diaspora. Since the juries came back, the quality of songs and the contest's reputation have both risen greatly. So I strongly disagree.
There was litterally absolutely NOTHING wrong with this entry. The song is beautiful, the singer and backing vocalists all sang flawlessly, the flowers and thorns in the background were mesmerizing, the outfits were good, and then, because it's Slovenia, they place merely 13th. That one's the televoters' fault!
This was great, and still is by a great singer. It's problem, I think, was the production. The song starts as a slow ballad, that gradually builds, all the way through, to a powerful climax. If you watch the performance from the Slovenian song contest final (with Maja in the cobalt blue dress, the wind machines and dancers) it was ten-times better. Though the Eurovision final had the nice visuals with the thrones/flowers in the background, the stage performance and costuming was lacklustre. I think that affected the songs final lowly 13th position. It deserved much higher. It should have been top 5 at a minimum.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with entry from 2022 (LPS - Disco) to not to qualify. Maybe after 2023 the spotlights will be now more on the Slovenia, and it would be easier for them.
3 Eurovision 2011 mysteries that still remain unsolved: 1) Why didn’t Germany place higher? 2) How this masterpiece ended up so low? 3) Why did Azerbaijan win?
Thank you! At last, I found someone who appreciates the way juries vote! Everyone bashes them and says they vote "politically". But at the end of the day, they are those who vote more professionally and without much bias.
ESC Argy yes I agree with you, but in many times they really vote politically. But very professional as well sometimes, this is perfect example for that :D Sometimes I don't like juries voting but for this I'm so thankful for them!
Well, I can hardly find an example of them voting politically. The televote is much worse, voting for neighbours, for their own country from abroad, voting because of staging, because the performer is beautiful/handsome and for other ridiculous reasons.
I think Dami was AMAZING! Russia was overrated indeed. To be honest, I would love it to be 75% jury and 25% televote but I know it's never gonna happen...
In Slovenian it was a cute and beautiful love song. In English it's a savage revenge song. But still underrated. Yeah, any Nordic country would have won with this.
One of the very few entries I come back to every year. One of the best and most underrated ESC entries of the decade. A placement outside of top 5 is incomprehensible, let alone outside of top 10. But thank you Slovenia for serving us this timeless masterpiece ✨
She slayed all the way! The song was really beautiful, her live vocal is by far one of the best back in 2011! Be proud Slovenia! You've got someone like Maya as your diamond!
2011 will be known for being "the year without a real winner", but, excluding Italy (my country), if I had to decide the real winner of 2011, I would decide Slovenia, because this song is just amazing and it's one of the closest countries to my Italy and I don't want to have long trips for eurovision. P.S.: For the second reason I'm just kidding
i am so thankful the juries exist because this gorgeous song could've got 22nd place had it only been televoting. 13th is still way too low for this song, deserves top 3.
1993, 1995, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2011,2012, 2014, 2015 all underrated and all from Slovenia, Slovenia sends great songs that are for some reasons ignored by both juries and televoting (with 1 or 2 exceptions), thanks Eurovision -.-
As an azerbaijani I also think that this song deserved first place in 2011. In my opinion the Azerbaijani song was weak. Greetings to Slovenia from Baku🇸🇮🇦🇿. I listen to it from 2011 till our days, 2022.
Mały Nieogar There’s loads of examples of where juries saved songs that televote had underrated. Israel 2010, Slovenia 2011, Spain 2012, Italy 2012, Moldova 2013, Norway 2015, Israel 2016, Uk 2017, North Macedonia 2019. Need anymore?
I hope she will come back representing Slovenia in 2022. She has a great voice and stage presence. In 2011 she was robbed highly by televoters unfortunately: she deserved at least a top 5 finish.
It is the best song, because lyrics and music very strong. There’s drama here. This is very powerful. Maja so talented. The music is like a classic, very high-level unlike the rest of the song. I’m in shoke
Honestly, this song makes almost everything else from esc2011 look like a joke. Deserved to win in my opinion, and definetely deserved it way more than the actual winner
And you came to me one night Like a morning light Just to hold me tight Then you left and I was so alone Saying I should have known You're no good for me There's no reason I should cry No, no baby, I'll survive I don't care, I don't care No one will ever hold you tight No one will ever love you like Just no one like I do There is no one, no one No one will ever treat you right You're the one who's never satisfied There is no one like I, like I am I can feel what you're looking for I'm not that girl no more I'm not made of stone I'm gonna stand on my own Not gonna break me down, no one will stop me now No, no, no, no, no, no 'Cause life is kind without you And I know I can make it through Without you, without you (life goes all around) 'Round and 'round and 'round (I feel love for sure) (And it's gonna get you) (Life goes all around) Spinning all around Now you want me, don't you? No one will ever hold you tight (hold you tight) No one will ever love you like (love you like) Now you're back, I can feel your love Oh yeah, I'm never gonna let you No one will ever treat you right (treat you right) You're the one who's never satisfied (satisfied) After all, you can fall And there's no one you can reach to No one will ever, ever love you No one will ever, ever touch you No one will ever, ever hold Turn around now, just turn around now if you love me, yeah No one like me No one, no one
Criminally underrated song and singer... Mostly because she is from Slovenia, if she would sing for some of Scandinavian countries for example she would be in top 3 for sure
SO UNDERRATED! Absolutely amazing, my second place but honestly if this won I'd have been happy. Outstanding voice, great song and good staging- a winning combination. Shame on Europe :((
I think this was very under rated , her vocals are brilliant and the song is great, appreciate this is my opinion but don't think you can argue about the vocals
Give this song to Sweden and it finishs in top 3
Uros S. Top 3? Haha... This would win easyly...
Now that she's with a Swede on the brink of marrying him, imagine her winning Melodifestivalen AND THE CONTEST! I can just imagine the fury in my country.....

still not over how they robbed this masterpiece
SHOULD. HAVE. WON.
Sweden deserved to win and Slovenia deserved Top 3 !!!!
THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST ESC SONG FROM 2010 TO 2020 TEA
Thank you for recommending her
22nd in the televote? Seriously?
3 Eurovision 2011 mysteries that still remain unsolved:

BECAUSE WE WON AND STOP UNDERRATING MY COUNTRY
@@MustiiForTheWin I’m not underrating. The song sucked. Kudos to Azerbaijan for winning, but it’s just plain weird.
@@MustiiForTheWin first time watching euro 2011, but I have to say, there were many far batter songs then Azerbaijan.
@@jsmith1214 but i'm Azerbaijani and we love our song...
Azerbaijan won because it was the weakest eurovision year. Ukraine, Sweeden and Azerbaijan were good. Others were boring
Gives me goosebumps every time, seriously robbed
Without a doubt!!!

She is one of the example why I am glad that we have jury voting...
Best entry from Slovenia ❤

I'm still pissed this didn't win. It's the only Eurosong song I come back to. And to think it's Slovenian is even more mind blowing.
Same!! I absolutely love it ❤️
The best Slovenian entry ever, and so underrated song. Love from Serbia!
Deserved to win more than the actual winner…
That's it. I am now convinced the televote is rubbish. How could you place this TALENT, this perfect song, voice and performance 22nd?!

THE BEST SLOVENIAN ENTRY OF ALL TIME
She is an icon, she is a legend and she IS the moment, now come on now
In Slovenian it was a cute and beautiful love song. In English it's a savage revenge song. But still underrated. Yeah, any Nordic country would have won with this.
She's great! I heard Maja lives in Sweden now. She should go to Melodifestivalen!
still don't get how Televote buried this entry ranking it 22nd while juries rightfully placed it 4th
One of the very few entries I come back to every year. One of the best and most underrated ESC entries of the decade. A placement outside of top 5 is incomprehensible, let alone outside of top 10. But thank you Slovenia for serving us this timeless masterpiece ✨

I still remember this song after 8 years,true winner of the 2011 ESC
this was truly the best in 2011. To think that it only came 13th place is horrible
I cannot even understand how Azerbaijan and Sweden placed much higher than Slovenia
NO ONE CAN SAY THIS ISN'T PERFECT ❤️🇸🇮
But my country won the contest in 2011 ❤️🇦🇿
One of the best vocalists to ever grace the Eurovision in my book.
WINNER OF 2011!!!Just love her voice and wonderful song💜
Such a beautiful performance, 2011 was certainly one of my favourite ESC years.
Amaya is a very talented and underrated vocalist. she should have been the winner this year
Slovenija!!! One of the best in 2011.
2011 will be known for being "the year without a real winner", but, excluding Italy (my country), if I had to decide the real winner of 2011, I would decide Slovenia, because this song is just amazing and it's one of the closest countries to my Italy and I don't want to have long trips for eurovision. P.S.: For the second reason I'm just kidding
most of the songs in the final were better than Azerbaijan
That's a thought, "the year without a real winner". The result of 2011 felt rather anticlimactic indeed.
+Gabriela Piechowicz yeah even Belgium was better
Better than what song?
Stefano Parisi better than Azerbaijan
I can watch this performance eternally
I love this song , and her voice is perfect!
same!it was my 2nd too:)
second too.. :)
Adrian Diaconescu My second too (after Italy)
What is that?!?! So good!!
I think this is my favourite entry from Slovenia!
Maja for Slovenia in ESC 2017!! pleasee. She is perfect 😍😍
Or Sweden 2017 since she lives there now
Tinkara is better (2014)
Argalexovejo naah :$
Jesus Falcon
Yeees...
Great news Maja participates in Slovenian selection this year!!!!! Hope she wins :)
I'm still butthurt about this masterpiece not winning
One of the best Eurovision songs. Ever.
i am so thankful the juries exist because this gorgeous song could've got 22nd place had it only been televoting. 13th is still way too low for this song, deserves top 3.
*2011 Real Winner*
2022 still listen should be top 5
Christina Aguilera was Slovenian?
That's what I thought at first! Her voice sounds like Christina Aguilera
She does Christina Aguilera's growl as well!!
john cena i applaud you for not understanding what sarcasm is
this is better than shitty Christina Aguilera.
My winner. Unbelievably amazing song ❤
Totally agree! Clearly the winner of 2011 - if quality mattered in Eurovision!
When Slovenia was robbed (Big Time) for the first time. second time was on 2015. 🙀😿
OMG, both where my favorites those years
And 2014, and 2012....
indeed :c
2011, 2014, 2015 :>
Slovenia were also robbed blind in 2001.
Possibly the most underrated esc song of all times :( She slayed it! Dreaming of duo act with Sanja Vucic of Serbia
What a good performance ❤️
Slovenia i hope you feel proud of this. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
Good song and a great performer! Maja should be a star.
This should have won :'( she has so much power, and the song is great honestly!
I absolutely agree, it was a marvellous song...
If I hadn't seen the results, I would never have believed that she was in 13th place.
I think she should have won, by a clear difference
She composed GOOD GIRL for Hyuna
she did?? wow
What really
The best of sLOVEnia EVER!!!
If this was from Serbia fexml a clear WINNER
So underated, I would say most underrated song on ESC ever!
