Bojana and David’s performance was a standout with its captivating blend of vocals and atmospheric staging. The song Šesto čulo (meaning Sixth Sense) played with dark, mysterious vibes. The duo’s chemistry on stage was undeniable.
Filarri brought a more modern, upbeat vibe to the show. Meet & Greet is catchy and energetic, with a playful tone that contrasted nicely with the darker and more serious moments of the night. The band’s stage presence was strong and engaging.
Kruz Roudi's song Sve i odmah (Everything and Now) was a pop-rock fusion with attitude. It featured a punchy beat and strong guitar riffs, with strong vocals and stage presence.
Harem Girls presented an intriguing blend of oriental and modern pop. The performance was colourful and visually striking. The choreography and costumes were on point.
Milan Nikolić Caka’s ballad Storia del amor (The Story of Love) was a heartfelt romantic track with emotional pull. The vocal performance was impressive and the lyrics seemed to resonate.
Ana & The Changes brought a bit of indie pop to the night. Their performance was fresh and breezy, with an understated sound. The song has a catchy rhythm and seemed to connect with the audience.
Iskaz delivered a bold, in-your-face performance. The song has a heavy electronic beat, with the performers making the most of the stage and using visuals to complement a catchy song.
Biber's Da mi se vratiš (If You Return to Me) was a more classic pop ballad with rich vocals. The performance was simple but powerful, focusing on the emotional delivery of the song.
The biggest surprise of the night was the non-qualification of Mimi Mercedez with her song Turbo žurka. Her performance was energetic and the song is catchy but clearly not distinctive enough to earn jury and public votes.
