The majestic voice of Marija Serifovic and the song '' Molitva '' which means '' Pray '' in Serbian , gave to Serbia the winning of the contest . She deserved it !
I was stunned just like you were when i first watched this song back in 2007. Absolutely fantastic song, I contemplated on putting a £1000 bet on it to win the contest, because I was so certain it was going to win. I wished I had. Best Eurovision song of all time. After it won I learnt the whole song and sang it in word perfect Serbian. I still know the song off by heart to this day. The song was so good that Serbia will never be able to reproduce that sort of performance again. Over the period from 1999 to 2016 Molitva was the only song to win that didn't contain any English lyrics. So to do that it has to be a damn good song.
That song is all about top quality. Lyrics, music, arangement, stage presence, backing vocals and above all, her amazing voice. And, that's it. That's why it won the competition. European contest gradualy slipped into burlesque, cabaret and theatrical concept, so songs with weaker lyrics, arangement and singing had the chance of even winning. Compared to it, since this is, after all a singing contest, this song is "stripped" of acting, fancy costumes, many members of entourage and visual show. Focus was on the essential ingredients. That is why it is well worth it. Love your reaction and passion for music. Come to Serbia, for no reason. God bless you.
We want to send talented people, but talented people dont want to go to eurovision in Serbia cause most people think eurovision is set up for other countries.
You can sum up the theme of the song as "Your name is like a prayer, burning like an ember on my lips" This song is breathtakingly beautiful and her voice is just wow.
Prayer I can’t close my eyes Empty bed chases dream away And life melts And disappears fast, in the twinkling of an eye Like I’m losing my mind, Cause I can’t even notice the real world I still love you, I still trust you blindly Like a lunatic, I don’t know where to go a new love scares me and days, open wounds I don’t count anymore Prayer, like a fire on my lips prayer, instead of words, your name only Heaven knows like I do how many times I’ve repeated heaven knows, just like I do that your name is my only prayer But I can’t lie to God lie as long as I pray and I lie if I say that I don’t love you
This was quite a wonderful surprise for me seeing this, Jordan. So glad you critiqued and shared it. This song and Marjia's voice are both a masterpiece and will defie the ravages of time. She has gotten even better and when she hits those notes at 5:00 (the bridge) and I still get goosebumps after all these years, for I was lucky enough to be living in Belgrade when she won the contest in 2007, and since my flat was just three blocks from the mayor's residence, I was also able to witness her singing the winning song on his balcony after her hero's welcome home. It is a memory I will never forget. Regarding your question about the pushback of the song due to its message, I didn't hear anything negative about the song, but I did about Marjia as LBGT was not looked upon kindly there at all, and gay parades have been cancelled and/or have had violence/ hooliganism for decades. However, today people seem to be more tolerant as long as it's "not in your face" behavior from my perspective. Here are the lyrics translated which to me are sort of nebulous: "Prayer" I can't get any sleep Empty sheets chase the sleep away And life is melting And disappearing fast In a split second
As if I'm losing my mind Because I don't notice reality I'm still kissing you I still trust you blindly.
Like I'm insane, I don't know where to go I'm afraid of a new love And days, open wounds I don't count them anymore.
The prayer is like ember on my lips The prayer, instead of words - just your name. (And) Heaven knows, like me, how many times I've repeated it Heaven knows, just like me, That your name is my only prayer.
I can't lie to God while I'm praying, But I would be lying if I said I didn't love you lyricstranslate.com/en/molitva-prayer.html-10 PS Hope you do get to Serbia, but to me it's not the same, for since 2015 the country has been slowly "sold out" to foreign buyers/influence, and it lost its quaintness, historic feel, and almost innocence.
I think it is a love song but nothing related to LGBTQ community, I mean, it is about love with no tags. BTW I heard somewhere she is actually bisexual. Fun fact: minutes before you uploaded the video I was watching other reactions to this same song 😍. What a coincidence! Very fair winner. Goosebumps! And those backing singers harmonize amazingly and look stunning in men's suits.
the song molitva isnt really based on anything but it is kind of based on like beauty and relationships in a way and molitva itself means prayer in serbian and other balkan countries
im a bit late, but im pretty sure she was closed before, she has been a lot more open with her sexuality lately. if you listen to the lyrics it could be interpreted as just a love song, but it gives me some take me to church vibes at one point she sings about not being able to lie about her love to god which to me sound a lot like gay subtext. Great song overall!
Serbia actually has a really powerful lgbt community. Starting from prime minister of a country that is openly gay, to famous people and businessman. That being said, it is true that 2007 was some what different time than 2020 but Marija Šerifović has one of the best voices in Serbia so nobody really minded she's a lesbian even back then :) First she won Beovizija ( national selection ) and after that she won Eurovision she was considerate national hero :)
That’s awesome! I’ll have to look more deeply into the community’s history in Serbia, it’s interesting to see how these things come into being. I can imagine she’d be a hero 😂, I love seeing Serbia do so well at the contest.
@@JordanDavisEurovision Thank you :)) This is how Marija was greeted after the victory czcams.com/video/xSDTHFcFrwA/video.html But your source should not be western media, Serbia is not most favorite country in western media 😂 I can recomend you to check Gay Icon ( not gay her self ) Jelena Karleusa czcams.com/video/Q0IxzaqAaZ8/video.html She's most loved by gay people in Serbia :D First video is from music award ceremony in belgrade after her big scandal were she supposedly cheated on her husband. This video is her tribute to her being gay icon czcams.com/video/ETCgxH86mhc/video.html Hope i gave you enough material to react 😂
Komentariram In what universe is Serbia openly gay? The PM is a lesbian, true. But she was put there tendentiously by the current horrible government in order to pull the wool over the eyes of EU and show that theoretically, they support gay rights. But that’s just it. A theory. Nothing’s been done in favour of anything LGBTQ there other than the anti-discrimination law which had to be passed forcefully and against the severely homophobic establishment. Civil unions are illegal, let alone anything more than that. The PM herself lives with her partner without having their union recognised by the government she represents?! And they even have a child, which legally is not hers as she was not the one who got pregnant, and without the legislation, she is nothing to the kid, and should something happen to her biological mother, the PM wouldn’t have any rights as a mother whatsoever! It’s crazy to say that Serbia is openly gay! Even the PM isn’t interested in doing anything to change that and/or perhaps the president doesn’t want to succumb to the will of the oppressed. It is true that there are a lot of gay people there. But there are as many anywhere. That doesn’t mean their voice can be heard anywhere freely. It was only recently that the Pride started happening annually there and even then under severe police protection. Before that the gay community was violently attacked, beaten up, stoned, etc. in broad daylight just because they want to have the same rights as everyone else there. So yeah, it is a very beautiful country where, unfortunately, you can be safe as a gay person as long as you do not show/say/behave in any standoutish way, as you run the risk of being a homophobic target. That is the sad truth and it will still take years before something changes for the better and definitely not under the current extremely corrupt and radical right-wing government.
Dude, this comment is seriously misleading. There has been no progress concerning LGBT rights since 2012. The law against hate speech is not enforced. From the 11 attacks on the LGBT center in Belgrade, not a single time were the perpetrators found. People are thrown out of their homes by their parents if they find out they are gay. People think that being gay is a disease. Conversion therapy isn't illegal. Pride parades are met with protesters every year. There are political parties openly opposing LGBT rights. Marija Šerifović never reveals any of her relationships because she knows people will be angry at her for being gay. Everybody knows that she is gay but they don't attack her because she is never gay in public. Gay people need to hide in Serbia to feel safe. Now, you were saying?
Currently best female vocal in Serbia, if not in the whole Ex-Yugoslavia. And definitely one of the best Serbia ever had. Too bad she 's the member of the jury in one of the talent shows in Serbia instead of making great songs again. And yes she is...she admitted few years ago, even though she was in denial for years.
I disagree. She is fairly good mentor, she has established name, her own private academy. She doesn't need further recognision, but she helps create new singer. Unlike that idiot JK who just won't go away. Like can Elon Musk take JK to Moon already?
Great reaction💖 She have many great songs like More Pelina, Bol do Ludila, Nije ljubav to, 11 and many more... It would be nice if you react to one of those songs💗
This is classed officially as the first time a country won with their first entry, technically it's not, this is Serbia's 4th incarnation at ESC. From 1961 to 1991 they were part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia it was 1974 before a Serbian song was chosen to represent them (progressive rock band Korni). As the Yugoslavian Republics declared indepenance only the region now known as Serbia and Montengro took part in 1992 as Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with Serbian Extra Nena going to Eurovision. Due to international sanctions it took till 2004 for them to return as Serbia and Montengro with Serbian Zeljko Joksimovic finishing 2nd and finally this year Serbia took part on its own after Montenegro broke away the previous year. With this in mind no country has won with their debut entry, in 1956 each country had two entries, it was Switzerlands second performance that won.
Michael Aries It is classed as the first time a country won with their debut entry because it is so. In 2007, Serbia entered for the first time as an independent country. All the previous ones you correctly enumerated were either Yugoslav or Serbia & Montenegro entries, and had any of those won, it wouldn’t have been a Serbian victory, but rather the one by either Yugoslavia or Serbia & Montenegro. However, the way you perceive it depends upon how you see the entries: if by Serbia you mean a contestant of Serbian descent, then you’re quite right. On the other hand, that’s not how it should be understood. If an artist represents, say, Yugoslavia, and it wins, as was the case of Riva in 1989, the winning country is Yugoslavia and not Croatia (which is where the band comes from). That was a Yugoslav win. Full stop. As well as, for example, Celine Dion in 1988. Should I conclude that technically France or Canada (LOL) won that year due to her nationality? I don’t think so. At the end of the day, the winner is the country represented by the artist. Whether they come from the country they represent or elsewhere is irrelevant.
I fully appreciate your comments. I did start by saying 'officially' When Yugoslavia was taking part in ESC it held an annual contset called Jugovizija, where each constituent republic (Bosnia and Hertegovina,Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia as well as autonomous provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina both in Serbia) submitted individual entries, Slovenia won the first two with Montenegro the only Republic not to win. Yugoslavia did not became recognised as a union of states until 1918 and as yuo know broke up in the wake of the Balkan wars. Therefore Serbia like the other republics were always in exsistance and fully recognised as such inside the Yugoslav Union. Using that argument the individual regions who won the Yugoslavian National Competition legitimately could add these to their tally of Eurovision Entries. Similarly coutries who did not reach the final when prequalification rounds were used in 1993 and 1996 should be recognised as entries for that country since they followed the procedure to chose and submit an entry so Germany has taken part in every contest including 1996. Your right it is a matter of perception but I would argue that since Serbia submitted an entry to all the Yugoslav national song contests and were recognised by that name then they should be seen as an existing state and not a brand new country as EBU see it.
Saying Serbia first entry and explaining Yugoslavia is like trying to explain England first entry and explaining UK before, or Russia and USSR. Yugoslavia was a reencarnation of Serbia, deal wih it once and for all and stop complicating
@@FilK79 , had to chuckle at this as when I lived in Serbia in 2007, my ex's grandfather claimed that he lived in four different countries, yet never moved!
The song sings about the love between a man and a woman who broke up but still love each other. It's not about love that two women, but I understand why you thought that 😂. Tnx for reaction,greetings from Serbia! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
It's not though... if you look at the lyrics, they really could be about any gender couple. It's about a breakup and still loving the other person, with their name being a prayer on your lips. There aren't any genders mentioned in the song at all.
Prayer Not an eye to close Ni oka da sklopim An empty bed makes you sleep Postelja prazna tera san And life is melting A život se topi And it disappears quickly, like palm to palm I nestaje brzo, k'o dlanom o dlan Like reason to lose K'o razum da gubim Because I don't even notice reality Jer stvarnost i ne primećujem I still love you Još uvek te ljubim I still blindly believe you Još uvek ti slepo verujem Like crazy, I don't know where K'o luda, ne znam kuda I am afraid of new love Ljubavi se nove bojim And days, living wounds A dane, žive rane I don't count anymore Više ne brojim Prayer, like embers on my lips is Molitva, kao žar na mojim usnama je Prayer, instead of saying only your name Molitva, mesto reči samo ime tvoje Heaven knows, like me Nebo zna, kao ja How many times have I repeated Koliko puta sam ponovila Heaven knows that, just like me To nebo zna, baš kao ja That your name is my only prayer Da je ime tvoje moja jedina molitva But I can't lie to God Al Bogu ne mogu lagati As long as I pray Sve dok se molim And I'm lying if I say so A lažem ako kažem That I don't love you Da te ne volim Prayer, like embers on my lips is Molitva, kao žar na mojim usnama je Prayer, instead of saying only your name Molitva, mesto reči samo ime tvoje Heaven knows, just like me Nebo zna, baš kao ja How many times have I repeated Koliko puta sam ponovila Heaven knows that, just like me To nebo zna, baš kao ja That your name is my prayer Da je ime tvoje moja molitva (Prayer, prayer) (Molitva, molitva) And heaven knows, just like me I nebo zna, baš kao ja How many times have I repeated Koliko puta sam ponovila Heaven knows that, just like me To nebo zna, baš kao ja That your name is my only prayer Da je ime tvoje moja jedina molitva That your name is my prayer Da je ime tvoje moja molitva Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Vladimir Graic / Sasa Mare Milosevic
Maybe the average viewer felt goosebumps before they realised the subject matter. It is hard to kickback after you have been moved emotionally. That's how progress happens.
What thrilled me about this performance, and this victory, is that ESC is all too soon seen as gay men friendly... Gay women still, to this day in 2020, have an invisibilty. My gosh, bring it on. hey! like Sister Sledge said, we are family

You should play video with subtitles. When Dana International won Eurovision as a transexual a lot of countries started to send gay singers. Previous years a lot of bit up songs won and that year Serbia send ballad while others send all beat up songs. You should check Serbia 2004, it took second place.
If we talk about music production and vocals than this is one of the best winners of all times.
Agree
Agreed, this was vocally breathtaking ❤️
Absolutely beautiful, Marija is a genuine singing queen.
One of the best ballads in the history of esc. Love it!

Absolutely fantastic song, I contemplated on putting a £1000 bet on it to win the contest, because I was so certain it was going to win. I wished I had. Best Eurovision song of all time.

That song is all about top quality. Lyrics, music, arangement, stage presence, backing vocals and above all, her amazing voice. And, that's it. That's why it won the competition. European contest gradualy slipped into burlesque, cabaret and theatrical concept, so songs with weaker lyrics, arangement and singing had the chance of even winning. Compared to it, since this is, after all a singing contest, this song is "stripped" of acting, fancy costumes, many members of entourage and visual show. Focus was on the essential ingredients. That is why it is well worth it. Love your reaction and passion for music. Come to Serbia, for no reason. God bless you.
Is she still famous and an active singer in Serbia? Is any of the backing singers famous?
@@dorontefron2604 Yes it is ! She is a BIG STAR on the serbian music sky !!! ❤❤❤❤

You can sum up the theme of the song as "Your name is like a prayer, burning like an ember on my lips" This song is breathtakingly beautiful and her voice is just wow.
I love the way you are good in heart. God bless you!
Prayer
I can’t close my eyes
Empty bed chases dream away
And life melts
And disappears fast, in the twinkling of an eye
Like I’m losing my mind,
Cause I can’t even notice the real world
I still love you, I still trust you blindly
Like a lunatic, I don’t know where to go
a new love scares me
and days, open wounds
I don’t count anymore
Prayer, like a fire on my lips
prayer, instead of words, your name only
Heaven knows like I do
how many times I’ve repeated
heaven knows, just like I do
that your name is my only
prayer
But I can’t lie to God
lie as long as I pray
and I lie if I say
that I don’t love you
Did she write the song too? Because it’s like she was feeling the words. Amazing singer, voice from another world.
What a sweet person you are! Warmest hugs from Croatia :)
😊 hugs, thank you so much!
Chills, chills, chiills
Marija is awesome!

I'm still kissing you
I still trust you blindly.

Yugoslavia did not became recognised as a union of states until 1918 and as yuo know broke up in the wake of the Balkan wars. Therefore Serbia like the other republics were always in exsistance and fully recognised as such inside the Yugoslav Union. Using that argument the individual regions who won the Yugoslavian National Competition legitimately could add these to their tally of Eurovision Entries. Similarly coutries who did not reach the final when prequalification rounds were used in 1993 and 1996 should be recognised as entries for that country since they followed the procedure to chose and submit an entry so Germany has taken part in every contest including 1996.
Your right it is a matter of perception but I would argue that since Serbia submitted an entry to all the Yugoslav national song contests and were recognised by that name then they should be seen as an existing state and not a brand new country as EBU see it.
Saying Serbia first entry and explaining Yugoslavia is like trying to explain England first entry and explaining UK before, or Russia and USSR. Yugoslavia was a reencarnation of Serbia, deal wih it once and for all and stop complicating
@@FilK79 , had to chuckle at this as when I lived in Serbia in 2007, my ex's grandfather claimed that he lived in four different countries, yet never moved!

The song sings about the love between a man and a woman who broke up but still love each other. It's not about love that two women,
but I understand why you thought that 😂. Tnx for reaction,greetings from Serbia! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Oops, so sorry for the misunderstanding! Greetings!
It's not though... if you look at the lyrics, they really could be about any gender couple. It's about a breakup and still loving the other person, with their name being a prayer on your lips. There aren't any genders mentioned in the song at all.
Prayer
Not an eye to close
Ni oka da sklopim
An empty bed makes you sleep
Postelja prazna tera san
And life is melting
A život se topi
And it disappears quickly, like palm to palm
I nestaje brzo, k'o dlanom o dlan
Like reason to lose
K'o razum da gubim
Because I don't even notice reality
Jer stvarnost i ne primećujem
I still love you
Još uvek te ljubim
I still blindly believe you
Još uvek ti slepo verujem
Like crazy, I don't know where
K'o luda, ne znam kuda
I am afraid of new love
Ljubavi se nove bojim
And days, living wounds
A dane, žive rane
I don't count anymore
Više ne brojim
Prayer, like embers on my lips is
Molitva, kao žar na mojim usnama je
Prayer, instead of saying only your name
Molitva, mesto reči samo ime tvoje
Heaven knows, like me
Nebo zna, kao ja
How many times have I repeated
Koliko puta sam ponovila
Heaven knows that, just like me
To nebo zna, baš kao ja
That your name is my only prayer
Da je ime tvoje moja jedina molitva
But I can't lie to God
Al Bogu ne mogu lagati
As long as I pray
Sve dok se molim
And I'm lying if I say so
A lažem ako kažem
That I don't love you
Da te ne volim
Prayer, like embers on my lips is
Molitva, kao žar na mojim usnama je
Prayer, instead of saying only your name
Molitva, mesto reči samo ime tvoje
Heaven knows, just like me
Nebo zna, baš kao ja
How many times have I repeated
Koliko puta sam ponovila
Heaven knows that, just like me
To nebo zna, baš kao ja
That your name is my prayer
Da je ime tvoje moja molitva
(Prayer, prayer)
(Molitva, molitva)
And heaven knows, just like me
I nebo zna, baš kao ja
How many times have I repeated
Koliko puta sam ponovila
Heaven knows that, just like me
To nebo zna, baš kao ja
That your name is my only prayer
Da je ime tvoje moja jedina molitva
That your name is my prayer
Da je ime tvoje moja molitva

"ko razum da gubim" - like im losing my mind
A ne reason jer je to razlog 😉
Maybe the average viewer felt goosebumps before they realised the subject matter. It is hard to kickback after you have been moved emotionally. That's how progress happens.
Da
What thrilled me about this performance, and this victory, is that ESC is all too soon seen as gay men friendly... Gay women still, to this day in 2020, have an invisibilty. My gosh, bring it on. hey! like Sister Sledge said, we are family
You should listen Molitva as an instrumental. It is great as an alarm because music is building up through out song. It sounds more powerful.
Lmao! I've never thought about it as a potential alarm! I'll have to listen to the instrumental version!
Mia Negovetic on american show with Listen (Beyonce). Try to find with ”J &,K " show. Producers on NBC HEAR jer to come

What is with the volume my friend the volume is way too low
At this point it’s just that the video is two months old and there’s no way to go back and change it.

It is not about LGBT love, it is a prayer for love in all
You should play video with subtitles. When Dana International won Eurovision as a transexual a lot of countries started to send gay singers. Previous years a lot of bit up songs won and that year Serbia send ballad while others send all beat up songs. You should check Serbia 2004, it took second place.
You like wine
Oh yes I do
Bruh she is not lesba chill bro coool reactionnn! You get new subcriber!
React to Bosnia Herzegovina 11th place 2007
