But where was Žare Berber?

Now, you may have noticed something unusual about this year's contest. That's right. Someone was missing. Those maths geniuses out there probably noticed that although there were 23 songs entered into this year's Suncane Skale, only 22 of them were performed tonight. Žare Berber, the famous Macedonian TV show host, Survivor contestant and of course barber, was absent tonight. Him and his song, Ponekad, were nowhere to be seen on the show. What happened? Where was he? Well, not at Sunčane Skale, obviously. Perhaps someone in the region could shed some light on the situation?

Congratulations to Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia!

Well, that was bloody brilliant! A big congratulations goes out to the winning song tonight, which was 'Majske kiše' by Kemal Monteno & Teška Industrija, a song representing both Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. It proved very popular with, well, just about everyone,
Also congratulations to the second and third placed entrants, Danijel Pavlović for Serbia, and Joce Panov for Macedonia!

A big commiserations though to Progešila Roda, who I absolutely loved tonight! But for some reason they came last with 12 points. Maybe they were a bit too 'progessive' for this show?

And also Glenys and Kevin, who did Great Britain and America proud once again! You know what they say... they say dreams, are for dreamers. Also they said they both wanted to do the Eurovision! Yes please! I want to see the two of them on a Eurovision Song Contest in the future. Overall, they got 37 points tonight. My favourite song, 'Korak po Korak', by Igor Cukrov, only did one point better with 38.

(And yes, like last year I did do a write up about the show while it was on, but annoyingly I'll have to reformat it for blogger).
Next up though, a post about, well, the big mystery of the evening. The missing song of Suncane Skale, 'Ponekad'.

And... the results are in!

Full Results of Suncane Skale 2013

Well, that's the end of the show for another year. Here, this is the scoreboard at the end of the contest. Nobody did too badly, which is good. Well, unless you count coming last as doing badly, in which case Pogrešila Roda totally did that. And congrats of course to Kemal Monteno & Teška Industrija, the winners of Sunčane Skale 2013!

PS: I found out here that it also starts at 9:00pm (CET). I also found out that Montenegro is one hour ahead of us (the UK) so that's 8pm GMT. (Seriously are we the only country in the world to use GMT or what?)

Anyway, I hope this helped you! :D

Sunčane Skale Official Facebook Page

Hello everyone, I've got a link to share with you all today, Sunčane Skale got a new official facebook page! All y'all with FB should go like, it already has 52 and the page has only been up for like, a day or something. By the way, the contest is this Saturday (I know, that came around quick), it's also been over a whole month since ESC.

Very soon I'll make a post detailing the stream that the Montenegrin TV station (RTCG) do, and other stuff, so that those of us not in the countries where it's being shown can watch it as well.

Tahmina's New Song - Fairytale About Love

                                Tahmina Nayazova's new song Fairytale About Love

You might remember Tahmina Nayazova, she represented Tajikistan at Sunčane Skale 2012 last year with the song Boom Boom Boom and did very well. Now she has a new song, Fairytale About Love. Link provided by MeshPR, who helped a lot with that last post I wrote about Sunčane Skale, and he also wrote the lyrics to this song. Enjoy!

Suncane Skale site updated, MP3s added

Well, I'm not exactly sure when this happened, but checking the Suncane Skale website just now, I see that all the MP3s have been added for all the songs from this year's contest, I guess because the contest is now only two weeks away (!) Well, I better get downloading, you should too!
