The Who See Klapa is a rap/hip-hop duo which will represent Montenegro at Malmo 2013 with
Another EUROVISION LVIII participant who had to change songs for a reason. The difference between "Reggaeton Montenegro" and "Igranka" is the beats. "Reggaeton" had a Caribbean sound, while "Igranka"-with the addition of Nina Zizic-has a harder sound, complete with dubstep. Take a listen:
The song is good. It has it all, the power, the raw courage, something that the Austrian duo Trackshittaz (they also have another alias) didn't have at Baku 2012. Raw power and courage is what's needed in a rap/hip-hop tune in the ESC. However, something that needed to go is the dubstep beat. Everything is good except the dubstep. A different beat would have been better. I hate dubstep, but is a powerful choon.
My assessment on this: this is one of my favorites nonetheless. This could surprise everyone as a potential winner at Malmo. Rap doesn't do very well in the ESC, but this could change the juries' minds as well as the voters at home (who will probably get the even crappier tunes of Cyprus and Finland into the finals because they're mostly tween or teen girls).
Also, even though Rambo Amadeus' politically-charged "Euro Neuro" from Baku 2012 is good and funny ("Euroskeptic, analphabetic, try not to be hermetic"), this blows that tune away.
Hope for the best. Can anyone say Niksic 2014?
