Stevan Faddy – “Ajde Kroci”
Ok, I SO want to play this on Guitar Hero. It can be like “Freya,” the obscure song you just have to battle through with 5 stars in order to unlock the special Viking guitar.

Stevan Faddy: “Ajde Kroči”
Serbia and Montenegro had to withdraw from Eurovision last year due to the situation around their impending break-up. Both countries have their own entries this year. Montenegro’s number sounds like the closing credits to an 80s action comedy.
The way Eurovision works is the countries who finished in the top 10 during last year’s final get a bye to this year’s final. Also, the U.K., France, Germany and Spain automatically qualify. The other countries who have entered songs will compete in a semi-final, and the top 10 finishers move on to the final.
Here are the semi-finalists, in order of performance on May 10:
1. Bulgaria – Elitsa Todorova & Stoyan Yankoulov: “Water”

Now it’s time for Maria & Sakis to vamp a bit while the votes are counted. Sakis performed a song during the semis on Thursday. Tonight, we get a celebration of 4000 years of Greek song.
This gives me chance to sift through the Eurovision website, where I learn that Serbia and Montenegro withdrew from the competition. Because they pulled out late, they still have to pay the participation fee.
The BBC has a story about what happened: Serbia-Montenegro in pop song row. Montenegro votes tomorrow on whether or not it will declare its independence from Serbia.
