Slovenia (Eurovision 2007 Preview)

Alenka Gotar - "Cvet Z Juga"

You hate to demean a song as having nothing redeeming it about it. I mean, I think of the sincerity of the songwriter, the vocal training necessary to sing opera, the effort in finding backup singers, teaching them the part, the years of training in the studio musicians, then the expense of time in the studio, and the costs of producing, and mixing. And then, I'm sure there was a competitive process in Slovenia, which means that Alenka Gotar had to beat out other people to get to this point.

That said, there is nothing redeeming about this song.
