No
This is not a song,this is art performans!
We love it ❤ We don't care about qualification :)
@@nsgarden6351 shit
As a Serb, I am very proud to be represented by Konstrakta! ❤️❤️❤️
Me too! ❤️🇷🇸
That is all that matters! Good on you!
Same
Don't worry we Stan Konstrakta!
I didn't understand this song when I first watched the performance this morning but, after watching it with the translation, it's now one of my favourites for this year! hope it qualifies!
Yep. If you get it, you'll fall in love with the song. That has got to count for something. It really does not have to win. Love that she will be there to deliver this artform.

Your comments explain exactly what's wrong in today's music. If it's not about frivolous fun, flexing or sex, then it's not going to be on charts. The very fact this song won in Serbia is a major success. It's a huge middle finger (among other things) to health systems around the world
Non serbians wont understand this its a bad song with deep lyrics that can be understood only by serbians
@@makotowale3807 Croats, Bosniaks, Montenegrins, Slovenians, Macedonians will understand it. It's enough. Who cares if it's good or catchy or if it wins? I don't.

She got the most televoting votes in the history of Serbian national finals for ESC..
Nope, she didnt have...
Milan Stankovic had 56k...and she 44k votes..
So you are wrong.
👎🏻
@@zoranazoka153 Milan Stanković 56k? 😲Where a hell this world was going?! 😣😣😣
What happened Serbia you ask? They finally started appreciating art. This is not random at all and very creative. Konstrakta is amazing...
This is soooo not true! Up to this point, Serbians who appreciate art just had no one to vote for, and Konstrakta, with her song, changed that. In fact, the number of votes she got was highest in history of this competition, and was more than double of second runner's. Your comment is very, very toxic and chauvinistic.
@@ThaBGD you see in other people's words what you are...so I guess toxic chauvinist. My comment was not criticising Serbians but this video reaction...that was so superficial. They didn't even take time to think about the message behind the song, but everyone functions at their own capacity. Bravo Konstrakta!
@@SYLVOMEDIA Well, I see you know all the letters, but don't know how to read. For the record, I never called YOU any names, I said what I said about your COMMENT. See the difference? Obviously not. Also, you don't know me, and I don't see how you can possibly know that I am what you called me, 'cause your logic is... well, illogical - "... you see in other people's words what you are..." - that is is so superficial way of seeing other people. So, to conclude: I had nothing against YOU, just one part of your comment. Open your mind, it'll do you well. Cheers
@@ThaBGD I don't intend to stoop down on your level mate and adress any of the negativity from your comments. There are people that get paid to deal with those issues. "Take your own advice" is all I can say.
A sick mind in a healthy body

A desperate mind in a healthy body

Eurovision has a space for everyone, even for artistic performances with messages beyond a song contest. Not everything has to be slick and well produced. There is a reason why people support this soooooo much
It's dreadful - end of.
@@LeeFearn42 you are basic- end of
Can you explain what the song actually means? I don’t really understand the message
@@user-ef1qy9zq1g problem is to song have many hidden messages. Everyone can see this song on own way. From pesant to Sigmund Freud type of person. And everyone have right on own way. This is not "lalala" song what we expect. Goal of this song is to turn on ours brains and think about world around us. To ask self "WHY?" Why i must to love this, why i must to hate that, why is this happend, why i must to act how other told me...? Present main stream of physical health with goal to sell us health care products, but we even are healthy, in world of lies, main stream and domination of physical beauty, loose mental health. Is not important if you are crazy, mean, brainless idiot etc. Just be a physical health and will be ok. This song force you to use brain in full capacity and THINK!
Old Latin sentance is "Mans sana in corpore sano" (health mind in health body). Artist is with purpose cut first part with health mind as irelevant for modern society and point on main problem. Lack of Mans sana (health mind).
Absolute art and important message. 12points from Australia 🇦🇺
There were 36 songs. The audience was split between the experimental pop Sara Jo and beautiful balkan ballad Zorja, and then the performance happened, and Sara Jo was giving us the usual Serbia is just naked women, and Zorja was... well she was boring, and all of Serbia silently agreed that Konstrakta's cynical, dark song about the state of health is just what should represent us. This won both the jury and the televote by a landslide. We're more than well produced pop songs, Western imitations and porn stars. I understand where you're coming from, but give it a few listens, the song gets under your skin. I'm incredibly proud we decided to send something original and personal. This is Serbia!
Same here💪💪💪super proud!
Such a good description of the situation. Konstrakta is such an icon though!
It’s an amazing masterpiece. I also watched Sara Jo entry and overall it was rubbish and I’m glad that you chose this instead.
Sara Jo entry was just another striptease with a beat behind it, but this is out of this world stunning masterpiece
@@user-fb8np5zu9o It was sexually charged but I don’t mind that cos she is really hot.
Sex sells.
I’m not sure about the song itself though.
I think the choice you made with Konstrakta is a much higher quality entry
Well respecting the owner of this channel, using English. I don`t watch Eurovision for ages, didn`t know that competition suppose to happen. I saw Brakuses status calling to support her posted Triptih video. Tomorrow after that I saw Njuz, Kesić etc. same thing and heard that it was twitter and FB rebellion.
Cause of ass and boobs sells and cause no one promoted other songs, were focussed on promoting on all TV stations just few acts?? Plus Sara Jo was booked with JK to embarras Belgrade with red lights performance in front Parlament(which suits current politicians that are in it) after which suppose to ask how much is one night for one quick SM. That led to fact that brain won without any kind of agents and PR˙s, and things bought on flea market for couple bucks as scenography and choreography.
But people don`t use songs to send some meaningfull message so other people start using their brain, it˙s just shallow la la fun. Just as she said in song it`s all about consumirism, wasting money and time on non important thing, taking things as they are with zero doubt in anything and physical appearance. Healthy body but empty or sick mind.
This is definitely a dark horse. Well done Serbia. 🇷🇸❤️❤️ I can't disagree more with your comment 😂
Allow for a small debate:
-You said it is not creative - disagree. Regardless if someone likes it or not, it is art, a social commentary in a song form.
-Performance is on point. It follows the many layers of meaning in a song.
-Good music - this one is honestly subjective. It is a very minimalist melody, but many other thing happen in the background. It is not mainstream, but that is a matter of personal preference.
-I am so proud of sending something that is not ethno ballad, or a forgettable summer hit by women that are more plastic then flesh. I don`t care if we are dead last, to us this is a victory.
Exactly. The comments from this guys unfortunately come from a very ignorant and narrowed point of view.
@@andresvelara Totally agree. These guys were very small minded and unfair about this song.
It’s a masterpiece
Song has deep meaning,it's catchy,it's different. This song is #1 trending in Serbia,Montenegro,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Macedonia,Croatia
#2 in Malta #3 Slovenia and Norway, #5 Austria #17 Sweden #18 Switzerland and #25 Germany. This will be a dark horse this year
hahahaha b*tch u better be joking
Its not trending in Germany.
@@escvegi2076 it was #25 today you can find it in a Eurovision Song Contes - Fans Group
@@escvegi2076 #14 in the music category in Germany right now.
Im from Switzerland and its not trending here
So... I like it a lot! Cause just watching the video and translation u can understand it! And I'm spanish!!! Its a deep song
The meaning of the song is very deep: There are several messages:
1. In the time of COVID everybody is brainwashed that they have to do this, that,to stay physically healthy…. And what about mental health after all that?
2. She wears a medical uniform and washes her hands: this is how she describes medical person when someone without a health card comes for treatment ( they wash their hands of that person, it doesn’t exist)
3. People who do not have free health care , and they do not have money , can die freely without a guilty conscience
4. The people around her in back look like rippers, just waiting for those who can’t afford treatment. Or they can be priests cuz praying is the only left when u can’t afford medical insurance or treatment.
5. The general opinion that one must be beautiful, and in order to be beautiful one must be physically healthy. No one cares about mental health anymore, which is also important
6. She is also like a fortune teller looking at her hands trying to figure out why she is sick and what symptoms does she have cuz she can’t afford health care insurance
7. Artists in Serbia don’t have Heath care insurance and her friend died of cancer because of that
8. Obsession with a healthy body while the mind is desperate sick sad and frightened.
Yeah it has good lyrics, but the rest of the song is just so boring xD Good lyrics don't make it a good song
@@franciszekpiekutowski8811 boring how? It catches your attention at least.
You know ESC is not just glitter,wind in a hair,flashy things...and do not always need to be YOU GO GIRL,YOU ARE SLAYING...And ESC always have space for everyone.This is different and unique,people can like it or not it doesn't matter at all.
I mean, I'm not Serbian, but I always liked this. It is such a unique sound. Nothing else sounds like this, and it is so attention grabbing. Even when we just had the studio cuts with a picture of the artist's face for a visual, "In Corpore Sano" stood out to me. I didn't understand the performance at first when I was watching it live, but it was hard to look away even though she isn't doing that much. Looking up the lyrics and all the levels of commentary made it make a lot more sense to me. I actually think it has a pretty good chance of qualification if commentators can get the message across to people who won't understand the lyrics, or if she puts translations on the screen behind her (judging from her reaction as her points were announced, she was not expecting to win at all. So I doubt she will have time to revamp for broader accessibility before the cutoff date).
Any act called Konstrakta has to be at least good. However, this is something special!
This is a masterpiece.. Another Slavic goddess like Ukraine last year it’s about the fragility of life and social class system note reference to Meghan markle
Stangely enough, this is currently sitting on my Top 2 so far. It's a very divisive song you either get it and instantly love it (like me) or you get confused until you have enough and be over it. I love the artsy approach of this entry and so hypnotising the more I watch it. I must say Serbia is sending a risky song this year. Bravo! #TeamHandsClean
Hashtag is priceles❤🤣
Me too! For real. Brividi is my top 1 then Konstrakta's.
Just remember guys, people in the national selections like this just vote for what they like right now. They don't think about how it will do at Eurovision or anything like this. They had this semi final on Thursday and the final in Saturday and just imagine: only in these 2 days she came from "jjust another song in the selection" to the winner, overtaking 2 HUGE favourites (both Serbian and international) in the final, winning over them in both jury and televoting. People got the originality and hidden meanings here really fast, after her semi final performance she came into all the Serbian media, trends, memes and etc.
But your reaction was very funny and interesting for me😂😂😂 literally made this song also more interesting 😂 Serbs, mission complete✅
You have to dig deeper to understand the point. The song actually has so many layers. It is critisizing modern times where it's all about physical health whereas mental health is neglected. It's also a criticism of the Serbian health system and the state's attitude towards artist. It is definitely not a Eurovision song. The song is the people's voice against the superficial world we live in. Masterpiece of art!
It's everything but dreadful but I don't expect you to understand it. Umetnica mora biti zdrava!
Ma ovi likovi preziru generalno ceo Balkan, džaba ti objašnjavaš. Nisu se ni potrudili da nađu prevod i razumeju poentu. Verovano im je Izrael favorit....
Sta se trudis da objasnis ovoj dvojici.
Dokazani mrzitelji Srbije... svake godine.
Nobody HAS to do research to find out why they should like the song. If the performer doesn’t want non-Serbians to understand then that’s what is going to happen.
Like I said, it's not a Eurovision song. It has a special meaning for our people and tbh I don't care how it will do at Eurovision.
The performer added the translation subtitles and all is neaded is a small brain cells endeavor to grasp it. If you want to.
I adore this performance
I can definitely understand why people might react to this song in such a way - it's not specifically made for the Eurovision and hence does not follow the patterns of the music we are used to. Instead the entire song is the multi-layered statement which goes far beyond the fact that she's ridiculing the ways in which the Serbian health system sees artists as "invisible." She starts off by asking herself about the secret of the Meghan Markle's healthy hair only to make us all realize how absurd the things we often read in the newspapers/magazines are. There is the youtuber "Maps of Pablo" who has actually done a pretty decent analysis of the song so if you ever want to really know what has drawn so many people to this performance, check that video.
I assume that Konstrakta has received more than 44,000 votes last night because of this uniqueness and originality. She is the ARTIST and people just felt like sending the actual artist instead of pop divas this time. So, the song does not follow the rules of a pop song, but that's fine because this is not your typical Eurovision song. This is art, and as such, many cannot understand it or don't want to understand it, which is totally fine. I personally think this song is powerful because it's as complex as an artwork :)
Ova žena je završila dva fakulteta,muzički je veoma obrazovana!
Ova pesma je performans koji će na takmičenju ostaviti OGROMAN utisak na sve ! To što vas dvojica ne razumete je...totalno ok, ali i ne bitno.
👋😊
Together with Fulenn, this is my favourite entry in this weak ESC year, kinda saved this edition for me yesterday.
if Serbia is strong for you then you need a doctor !!!! What are you talking about it’s a song contest not a comical failure competition 🥵😩
R u joking ? Spain and Albania are way better
Wuahhahaha 🤦🏼♂️
Unique pure art different winner alter
For anyone interested here’s an explanation of the song:
1)The name of the song corpore sano is in latin and it’s short from the latin saying "Mens sana in corpore sano" meaning "A healthy mind in a healthy body"
2)”What's the secret behind Meghan Markles healhy hair?” part refers to mainstream media constantly bombing us with different health tips that are usually there just to promote products and/or make us more insecure.
3)The part saying that an enlarged spleen isn't pretty refers to people making assumptions about someone's health just based on their looks and emphasizing physical health while a person can look really good but have many mental health issues no one knows about.
4)Artists in Serbia aren't recognized as workers by law so they don't get free health insurance meaning they have to pay to be treated in private clinics which a lot of them can't afford including Konstrakta's former band member which died of leukemia cause he couldn't afford treatment.The first and second chorus are different.The first one says "An artist MUST be healthy" referring to international artists that get free healthcare, while the second one says "An artist CAN be healthy" referring to artists in serbia and the healthcare system not caring about their well-being.
5)The part where she prays to god for health and says she puts her trust in her heart beating refers to her having to rely on god and her own body to regulate her health cause that's her only option being an artist in Serbia.
6)The part where she says the artist is invisible and it’s like magic refers to artists not being recognized by the government and the healthcare system.
7)The last part of the song is in latin and it refers to people prioritizing physical health and outside looks over mental health which is also very important.
Now let’s talk about the staging:
1)The obsessive hand-washing refers to COVID 19 and the importance of keeping your hands clean again massively talked about in the mainstream media while neglecting the impact of the pandemic on people's mental health. It also can be paying homage to one of Marina Abramovic’s (internationally known Serbian performance artist) performances called “Art must be pretty, an artist must be pretty” where she sits for hours combing her hair while repeating that cause she realized people focused a lot on her looks and her hair being messy and prioritized that over her art.
2)People standing behind her can be priests that pray for her health and/or are getting ready for her to die.
The song is sarcastic, satirical, ironic, so as performance.
You can literally say anything about this song, except from - it's not creative - from the lyrics to the staging, this is a pure art and ultimate artistic creativity. You just need to show a little bit of willingness to understand and accept various art forms because music is not just high notes, great pop production or expensive costumes. It 's absolutely not a standard Eurovision song, because we didn't get a chance to see conceptual art project so far. I am in absolute shock but in the same time I'm so proud that Serbia is the first one. :)
A sick mind in a healthy body
A sad soul in a healthy body
A desperate mind in a healthy body
A frightened mind in a healthy body
So what do we do now?
Great entry! Well bloody done Serbia 😊😊 She reminds me of Annie Lennox when in 1987 she sang "I love to listen to beethoven" with Eurythmics and it's funny that this singer is the lookalike of Quinn, the psycho wife of Eric Forrester in "The bold and the Beautiful"
In odds Serbia climed from 37 place do 20. Th3 wong is cathy and it gets better and better by time. Give it time there is a reason both jury and public gave her max points
Actually, your reaction was similar to mine when I first time herd this song. And I am Serbian speaker. I was like - What is she mumbling about? But, then, it was only one which I remembered. Somehow it just stick in my mind. It was outstanding. In many ways. And to tell you the truth, when I paid closer attention and reread lyrics... WOW!
So, yes, it's not a song to win you over on first listening, but it's dam sure song you can't forget!
I disagree, it’s a unique performance, it doesn’t need to have the best vocals and the best instrumental. The message is good, it’s catchy and the performance is memorable,
Actually, the vocals are incredible. This is such a well thought-through performance, that it takes multiple listens to really appreciate it. And then it grows on you like fungii. More on her vocals: ua-cam.com/video/45zJwhYCVwI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Rea%C3%A7%C3%A3oImediata
This is high quality fun on YT watching people reacting to this song 🤣
If music is art,and it serves to send message this song will be the winner
The best song from Serbia ever.....
Just amazing ,,,, pure art ,,, oh I am sorry you are allergic to art , if it was a cheap pop it would be fine for you .
Stop your Serbian mimimi
👍😂😂😂
This song is absolutely my jam.
That being said, I don´t hate you guys cause I´ve been watching you for quite some time so I can kind of already predict in advance which stuff you are gonna like and which not.
This is a weird one
Everything says me i should hate this but i am hypnotized by it and it draws me in so much! And thats what matters at Eurovision. Something Like spain can be good but i am Not drawn to it
This is the best song we have ever sent to Eurovision ❤
Yeah, we don't really care how it will do on ESC, to be honest. We are THRILLED it won in Serbia. Meaning is so deep it makes you think for days, question a lot of stuff, it has so many layers and the atmosphere accompanies it perfectly. People who don't understand it....well it wasn't written for them than.
This is bold and original and it sounds very well. We need that at Eurovision and It should be encouraged.
I am so proud to be Serbian❤️🇷🇸 we woke up! We have so much talent oppressed on all sides.. never been prouder than today ❤️
This song is a masterpiece, it blew up competition in Serbia, it got twice as many public votes as Sara Jo ( second ranked ), and more public votes than songs ranked number 2,3,4 combined. Anyway we are proud this will represent our country :)
this song is pure art, some will understand some won't but it has powerful message behind it. It is greta that it will be preformed on Eurovision. Sparkles and are not needed in these kind of performances they are reserved for completely other type of songs.
🌻🌻🌻 Konstrakta = IQ Test for the Europe (and Australia) 🇪🇺 🇦🇺
Hopefully people know what means "Metaphor in poetry"?!
A masterpiece of Art!!! Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Guys, try ONCE in your comments to be on Serbia's side-doesn't mean it's stupid if you don't understand this pure art-this is your problem...
Can't wait for the moment when it clicks for them and they start enjoying the song
Have you already forgotten the song Eurovision, which represented Israel, where the singer cooed and won?Serbia have best song🇷🇸❤️
I love it!!! GOD BLESS SERBIA 🇷🇸 🙏 ❤️ ❤️
A LOVE IT....
Eurovision, like so many other things in life, needs to constantly evolve or otherwise die. Eurovision deserves to be taken seriously. It needs to become sophisticated and forward thinking. If this entry does well, it would make a lot of people reassess the festival as a one of the most important cutting edge art events in the world. Hopefully this could be done while maintaining or increasing popular appeal also. I hope this entry does very well. For context I'm Spanish and a bit embarrassed we are sending frivolous and unoriginal SloMo, written and choreographed by faceless men that use poor victim Chanel to do the public performance. So good on you Serbia!!! You showed us you have balls (and ovaries) and for that I salute you!
The most important thing now is that she won! Queen! She showed how to win in a 1 day all those favorites. After Semifinal 1 She knocked down the UA-cam trending, TikTok, Twitter all over the region! Before semifinal (Songs were released a month ago) she was not in the center of public hype such as Sara, Zorja, Angelina and Aca Lukas, but then after Semifinal 1 she made crazy all of us. Finally something different! It happened for the first time that something like this won in Serbia. Many in Serbia still do not understand this type of music, but her charisma overcame everything and of course the lyircs of the song that talks about the liver, the spleen (of course the song have more deep meaning about mental health) hyped many people to see what it is about, what a joke it is. It created chaos on social networks and in less than 24 hours created such a fan base to beat big favorites with big fan bases. She had twice more votes than Sara Jo that was the second.
i am utterly amazed at this couple...totally in awe as to the depths of my soul i had to reach to be able to understand you two. its like surrealistic art. you two are geniuses. .. .. ..when the puppy leaves the room. lol, thnx 4 d laugh, a dime 4 a fool.

6:24 "I don't have social insurance!" Deep lyrics! Deep message! "Artist don't have medical insurance, so it "must" be healthy!" Must?! We are just "washing" our hands off each other, while people still dying somewhere... (while we wear pink glasses?) In what world do we live? This song is a high art satiric masterpiece!
After watching this reaction, I realized that 'shallow' has a new dimension.
MASTERPIECE
hahahah when i first heard it i was like 'what?' but i get it (in my way, different people interpret art differently and all) it has grown on me and now i am happy it will represent us especially when i see all of you so confused i want to see more people go through the same process you just did hahaha you are very cute 💜
Yes we love Konstrakta 💋👍✊💗🎶🎶🎶Genius. Dark horse in Serbia for 24h🔝
To add more to confusion: this is by far the best and by far most artistic song this year at eurovision song contest. Period.
She is highly talented artist and the song has several multilayered messages. Give the song a time.
Your first sentence is an opinion. There is no fact when it comes to art, it's subjective.
@@ToyAndGoy Well, there are still debates whether art is subjective of has to meet criteria to be considered art.
Yes, it is my opinion, and I stand firmly behind it.
I will analize song and staging in brief.
The songs starts with "mens sana in corpore sano" in REVERSE. Latin is known as language of secrets and here the artist wants to say that:
there are hidden messages throughout the song, staging and lyrics.
She also says that people are paying much more attention to less important things such as physical looks instead paying attention to mental health.
She says: I don't have health insurance as artists in Serbia are considered self-employed and do not have health insurance as other people both employed and unemployed.
She washes her hand to show global obsession with covid and people around her are probably priests who are praying for her health and waiting for her death if she does not manage to stay alive. They SURROUNDED her, she has no way out.
And she just wants simple normal life, to walk her dog during summer day....
@@boxy1375 and we stand by our opinion of simply not liking it!
@@ToyAndGoy ...
She says: "How will they MONITOR ME (allusion on authorities worldwide monitoring population) "in the name of health" (not" because of the health").
She concludes critic of society with lyrics about state of mental health of many people worldwide obsessing about healthy body/having great looks while deep beneathe being sad, frightened, desperate...
"Mens infirma in corpore sano
Animus tristis in corpore sano
Mens desperata in corpore sano
Mens conterrita in corpore sano."
And says: "so, what do we do now?" with peak of her outstanding facial expressions. She is great actress, too.
She LOOKS STRAIGHT IN CAMERA because she is conveying her message to US, AUDIENCE. Pay attention that she with her facial expression conveys message that she does not know what to do. Last second of performance.
She does not stand up and wait to be cheered by audience after performance. She came not to win, but to make us think about the message(s)
Absolutely outstanding.
PS I did not cover more than 50 percents of what Konstrakta said and did.
@@ToyAndGoy I respect it. Just, give the song a time. Greetings guys
It’s okay to say that you don’t like this song, but don’t need to offense artist, it’s uncultured! You need to educate first about song and what’s the meaning behind it.. not to yell and scream...
👏👏✌✌✌✌
Poor dog ...must get throgh torture of your limited minds...hahahw...FREE DOG from this monsters....!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Conclusion is that we DGAF this year 😂, we are sending art with layers of menings!
i just hope people are going to figure out that this song has such a deep meaning
Song sounds like a joke but it's not really if you think about it.... Not everybody has health insurance. It's very serious.
Now i like this song even more...
1. The song opens with a headline from a beauty magazine that Konstrakta once saw: What is the secret to Meghan Markle's healthy hair? - This is a reference to modern society's obsession with beauty; That's what beauty magazines do - they create insecurities about your hair, skin, nails, weight etc. and then advertise products that promise to change that. That's what the second line of the song is about "I think that the secret is in deep hydration"
2.Then Konstrakta goes on talking about how our skin and hair often signal some inner health issues - for example liver and spleen problems - The reason she is thinking this is beacause she's worrying about her own health, she can't visit a doctor for a check up or get treatment because she doesn't have insurance. THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT because artists in Serbia still don't have health insurance. This is a paradox because Serbia, just like so many other countries has "universal healthcare" which in reality is not available to everyone.
3. She then goes on saying how and artist must be healthy - a reference to Marina Abramovic (Art is beautiful, Artist must be beautiful), and the reason she needs to be healthty is again - because she can't afford to get treatment.
4. Then comes the part about the autonomic nervous system and how we don't need to control our own heartbeats. She describes a beautiful summer day, she is waking her dog, her heart is beating and that's it - it doesn't need to get any better. She just puts her trust in her heart and lungs hoping they won't fail her (if they do fail her then that's it, the doctors won't help her and she made peace with that)
5. She then explicitly states I DON'T HAVE THE CARD (meaning health insurance card)
6. She wonders how will they help her then? While she's wondering that we can hear the backing vocals repeat the phrase Boze zdravlja - God grant us health. This is a reference to serbian culture where health is regarded as the most important part of life. God grant us health is a common saying, we use it all the time, and you will always hear people wishing other people good health (for their birthday, or really any holiday) because everything else (money, fame, love...) becomes meaningless if you are ill and in pain. This is again a paradox - in a society that nominally regards health as sacred she still doesn't have health insurance. She says - The (female) artist is invisible, you can't see me, it's magic.
7. The final part is probably the most important one. It's basically a play on the old latin saying Mens sana in corpore sano (A healthy mind in a healthy body), exept that Konstrakta makes it clear that only the body is healthy - the soul inside is desperate which is a commentary on our own reality, we are all obsessed with improving our health - we try to eat better, be more active, take all those expensive drugs and supplements - but what about our mind? More often than not it is our mind that needs care, not the body.
And finally after making that clear she asks us - So what do we do now?
Now about the handwashing: She is dressed in white, she symbolizes the health care system (she reminds us of a nurse for example) and she is washing her hands. Why? Because of covid? NO! It is a metaphor about how health care workers need to "wash their hands" meaning clear their conscience when they refuse to treat you because you don't have insurance. Just like when Pontius Pilate washed his hands before the crucifixon of Jesus - he tried to clear his conscience and make it clear that he wasn't the one who killed Jesus - it was the Law. In the same way, a doctor refuses to treat you because of the law, and he needs to make peace with the fact that you may die even though he/her could (and would) help you.
The handwashing could also be seen as a reference to Marina Abramovic's performance Balkan Baroque in which she spent days trying to wash the blood and flesh off of cow bones - she failed of course and that was the point - no matter how hard you try they will still be bloody bones (in this context the blood on the bones symbolized the shame of the Yugoslav wars, and in Konatrakta's performance the health care system is trying to wash away it's responsibility for people literally dying because of some bullshit paperwork and administration - but it is of course doomed to fail because the shame and blood cannot be washed away).
This song won the most televotes ever in Serbian selection, it has so many layers.
masterpiece !!! love you Serbia ❤️
Patiently waiting for the eurovision,you will be singing a different tune,I am sure of it 😂
I'm sorry you didn't understand either the song or the performance. It is my favourite song and I love it!! Well done Serbia! Greetings from Croatia, we are cheering for this artist!!
😘
Not everything has to be served on a plate like it's factory produced on a line. Its OK to be a complex thinking human outside of our self-absorbed minds. Eurovision can be a platform, not just a competition where if you are not the first with opportunities for self-promotion nothing else maters.
Hahaha, love you guys even do you didn't like our song 😂😂 kisses from serbia❤️
😘
These two puddles dont like themselves at first...how you expect to like a song? 🤣🤣...Every reaction of this two "monsters" are negative....Maybe its just their reflection of themselves....or not maybe ,but sure IS....🤣🤣🤣
@@adisbacevac497 thrilled you watch us so much!
@@ToyAndGoy Stupidity is easiest to watch...It comes on surface fastest...Not my fault 🤫🙄
@@adisbacevac497 do you want to try that sentence again?
I see bunch of Serbian people in comments (here and in other videos about this song) that are offended by someone not liking their song. You guys need to learn to respect other people's opinion. If someone doesn't like your country's song, deal with it, not everyone has the same taste. Most of them start insulting people immediately, especially with their famous sentences: "You don't know what true art is" or "You are not smart enough to understand the point of this song". Grow up and learn to respect others so you can be respected back.
- To Toy Goy: Guys keep up the good work and keep being yourselves
But it's typically Serbs. In every topic they're passionate about you gonna get insulted for not liking their stuff..
Dženise ne seri
Great comment. Tnx. I like the beet and generally "Zemlja Gruva" sound, text is explained. It is a risky entry. But, proud to see that we send alternative entry. We existing indeed in Serbia 💪 Love u guys ❤️
That's avantpop for you. I'm glad Serbia is sending a unique and good song this year.
Simply, not everyone has the capacity to recognize what millions of people have recognized in this song. It seems to be too tiring because they need to use a full capacity of the brain (especially the part for art and good taste), and unfortunately for those who are deep "in the boxes", it is a scarce commodity today.
It is art and some people just do not get it.
This isn't a song that you would get bc you always give close minded opinions, but I hope these comments that have been put out in the comment section help you guys find the true meaning of the song. Yes I wanted Sara to win but this was needed!
Genious song....The best one this year...
I think this is beyond horrible. Serbia surprised me a lot this year. This is not the Serbia I know. 👎😏
I know it’s early but some people have this down to win this year. It’s a bizarre, rubbish track. Some people say it’s “high art”, but no, it’s just bizarre. Appalling. (I love the way Goy & Toy are so honest in their reactions, other people fudge things. Love these guys)
"there was a preselection process and people voted for this?"
there were 36 candidates, and this one won by (a) record margin and (b) by record number of points.
192,000 Serbians can't be wrong!
The song is genius, it's so artistic, so deep and critical due to system in general, please research about it.
*This performance is art at it's purest. Although the lyrics may seem a bit silly at first, they are actually dead serious. There are so many layers to the song, and a lot of space for different interpretations. Konatrakta herself emphasized the importance of every listener's own interpretation.
1. The song opens with a headline from a beauty magazine that Konstrakta once saw: What is the secret to Meghan Markle's healthy hair? - This is a reference to modern society's obsession with beauty; That's what beauty magazines do - they create insecurities about your hair, skin, nails, weight etc. and then advertise products that promise to change that. That's what the second line of the song is about "I think that the secret is in deep hydration"
2.Then Konstrakta goes on talking about how our skin and hair often signal some inner health issues - for example liver and spleen problems - The reason she is thinking this is beacause she's worrying about her own health, she can't visit a doctor for a check up or get treatment because she doesn't have insurance. THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT because artists in Serbia still don't have health insurance. This is a paradox because Serbia, just like so many other countries has "universal healthcare" which in reality is not available to everyone.

I hope this comment helped make things a bit more clear!
*Comment reference from another post, YT user: M8337
I mean, we got all that, we just didn't enjoy it. No need to overcomplicate things!
@@ToyAndGoy u didn't lol
this is a brillant song... very clever and deep, however it needs some translation.... basically taks about health, lack of insurence and finally kills it with mental health... (it was written in a very artistry way ... after one of his friens die for lack of insurence.... is not covid related btw) the more you lisen to it, the more you like it and gets in your mind. is a grower..
And I am very proud to present a song like this at Eurovision. I am sure that Serbia is winning. Thank you for your honest opinion. A lot of people are not honest. And thank you for this even negative opinion and reaction. Because the goal is for opinions to be polarized, extremely positive, or extremely negative. The rest is not important, and the tastes are different, and we should take into account the second opinion, regardless of the fact that we do not agree.
No no, thank you for not raging that we don't like it!
After the first listening I thought the same! But the message of the song is very important and makes it all different. This song is a piece of art which I totally don't understand. Not my cup of tea.
The purpouse of art is to make reactions in people. Doesnt metter if you get it or not. The classical music or some performance art is something I dont always get but I admire the fact that people make such things which some people can relate to and understand complitely and some just cant. Art is supposed to be seen in 1000 ways and not seeing it is actually one if them as long as it catches your attention👍🏻
@@filipjovanovic8808 of course! And it catches my attention, for sure.
The song tells of how we all pay too much attention to physical appearance, even eventually talking about how healthy the body is, the corona has passed, but what about the mind? Mental hygiene!
Oh for god's sake... people really need to stop being toxic to these guys. Some people don't care about the deep meaning of a song especially if they don't understand language. They don't like it and neither do I. Get over yourselves.
Another good review guys :)
😘
why would Serbian people choose THIS?! Were there no songs and no singers left? I will be definitely making tea or going to toilet during this performance lol
Smoking break for sure!
Guys , thank you for your "faces" 😂😂
I can't wait to see yout faces , after eurovision night voting 😂😂
Huge respect for Serbian music and artists
the song is a statement of the Serbian people against everything bad that capitalism brings to the world
I love watching foreign reactions and their confused faces LMAO hahahahhahahahah
🤦🏻♀️ just give these two a generic bop and tell them it’s a Eurovision song and they’ll be happy. Can’t see past that, obviously.
Very proud that the entire international community in your comment section disagrees w you 😂
I agree with them^^.
So glad to see you again! It's wonderful to know we mean so much to you! 😘
I really appreciate this song now. Such courage to send something like this. It is very creative.
I guess yall are used to bwsic pop/balads. That is not the point if eurovision. Artist needs to push boundaries not be basic like other songs and other eurovision songs dont sound original at all.
This is ART PIECE 🇷🇸❗
