It is great trolling because the song is talking about the never-ending loop of empty striving to "something new", "better" (novo, bolje), faster, bigger, greater, more innovative..., being enchanted or enslaved by running after increasingly improved performance, optimization and maximization of everything and everyone, constantly evaluated against stricter metrics. "Novo, bolje" in the title really means "innovative and improved" (referring to a product), like a new Iphone version or a politician's promise, so it's quite badass when she comes with the exact same performance (in the history of Eurovision) not giving a shit and even saves time and money.
At the same time, she is probably trolling everyone who had expectations that she "must" come up with something better and improved this time for the Eurovision contest, another step up from her last year's performance, or otherwise be considered a failure, so she's symbolically giving them "better" and "new". In one verse she sings about "constantly going up, up, up", never-ending improvement of products or self-improvement, nothing is ever good, or good enough.
"Evo saće" is an informal way of saying "It's so close, I can feel it" but it's usually used in an ironic way, for something that never really arrives.
I tried to convey the meaning because there's lots of slang and subtle references and symbolism in the lyrics, most of which is lost in direct translations.

Bravo, pogođena suština!
It is just brilliant art how something so underwhelming at the same time can be so refreshing. This is the most refreshing concept I'v seen in my lifetime to be honest, and I have kinda seen it before. That is art. That is a new level of conceptual intelligence. Konstrakta is nothing less than a genius.I am in love
Best ever
She is genius, I’ve never seen someone trolling himself, audience, eurovision - everyone, and still being iconic!
Konstrakta is true legend ❤❤❤
She or Teya - no third option!

I love that she kept same staging. In a way she is trolling herslef. One great moment is when they put their hands as if they will clap (as in In Corpore Sano) and then they just don't 😂😂😂... she is legendary

@@esc.norway And I love how you are leaving same exact reply to every comment. You are taking notes from Konstrakta cookbook? 🤣🤣 I love it, really.
;) Happy to hear it@@tomislav982
I died laughing when I saw on screen "Niti novo, niti bolje" (Neither new nor better), cuz the title of the song is "Novo, bolje"(New, better) which seem like she promised us in the title something new and even better and she gave us almost the same performance like 2022. She is genius.
It's a true masterpiece. This is just pure genious. Hope she wins tonight!!
"Nether new, nor better", said Mother Mary Konstrakta while making Bread Jesus. Bread symbolizes hope for something new, but new and better will never come cause the bread will never be baked. So much layered messaging in what looks like a "same" performance as 2022, and even that has a reason.
Also shout out to the Latvian girl thats part of Konstraktas group now, I believe Alise also did her own rendition of Konstraktas song "Mekano" over at their Zemlja gruva channel.

I have to add here that the "bread" was actually baked. It was huge and Konstrakta was holding it on stage, wrapped as a baby. Meaning: my art (or at least this song) is my bread (in Serbia: bread=what someone does for a living), my bread is my art, it's my child and I love it for what it is, even if it is not new or better. This is an upcycled sequel of 'In corpore cano'. :)
That's called blasphemy. Have some respect.
@@frdz4188 She hold a baked bread in the postcard before the performance, but during the performance she was kneading dough.
@@Bionickpunk Of course, I know that. But the "bread" was baked, at least symbolically. And she was holding it tight.
Her staging is actually very good taking into account the lyrics of the song. Her message is about how politicians always promise new and better things, but they're just empty words and things stay the same. 👏🏼
LOOOOOOVE IT!!! Just my kind of art- perfection. In love with this concept. 10/10
That’s your interpretation. It was not implied that she’s talking about politicians specifically
@@zakomentare-xt4vkvise mogucih objasnjenja i svako bi bilo valjano.
@@zakomentare-xt4vk Of course it's my interpretation. But, knowing her from interviews, it wouldn't be far fetched to think that's what she meant. But anyone can interpret it however they want to. 🫶🏼
@@sahiantoche then don’t say “her message is…” because you’re putting your own words into her mouth
Bro i love it again, she just does the staging like noone else

This is like a continuation of the song "In Corpore Sano," criticizing the high-profit capitalist construct where there's always an expectation to "step up your game," to be constantly innovative and come up with something new, as if what already exists isn't enough! (This is reflected in the lyrics "neprestano samo idem UP, samo idemo na MAX” meaning: “constantly just going up, just going to the MAX") but in reality, it's all already seen and turned in a million ways. She is going to say that with this song and with this performance.
The screen says 'Episode 2: Neither new nor better". At the end she screams: 'Here it comes! Dooooctooor!" It sounds like she is giving birth to a baby (she really looks pregnant at the beginning) and the baby (shiny bread, i.e. her art) looks like just baby Jesus.
People on stage are wearing napkins (kitchen cloths) now instead of towels, and waiting to consume her art saying: 'Not good enough!' She also mocked most of the audience that had been waiting for something NEW and BETTER. You should have seen her hugging a huuuuge loaf of bread (her art) on stage.

The "same concept" is the point. Its intentional (and brilliant).
It's perfect. Most refreshing concept I've seen in my lifetime, hands down
the Empress strikes back!
YES SHE DOES, AND I'M IN LOVE ONCE MORE
I kept thinking and imagining what she could do to surpass the ICS staging and I was not even close... The new and the better doesn't have to be all that different. This song really needed this stage and this context to be fully realized and understood.@@esc.norway
there is a lot of layers in the song, but one of the obvious ones is the title (and the flashing text). Novo, bolje (new, better), nista novo, nista bolje (noting new, nothing better). so it is kinda a good troll on top of everything else.

@@esc.norway it is fascinating how much different takes people got from a 3 minute song. from this is just the same, statement and expectation of content creators to always do something better (a lot of youtube content creators talk about it), to the general feeling of people always chasing something better that never comes, critique of politics with their promises of better that never comes (especially in our country as the ruling party had a slogan that is pretty similar to some of the lyrics) and even to addressing a situation that we had few months ago with doctors, hospitals and misstreating of women in labor. and some even threw baby jesus in there :)
Konstrakta's song is called "New, Better". In the lyrics she says "doctor, I don't know what is wrong with me, I always want new, better." Then she is doing thevariation of her performance.
The performance is a mockery to what she is singing about. We repeat ourselves always eventhough we crave for new.

The song name is New, better
And the staging is actually sarcastic why to say that we all live in a lie that politic serves us. You can see in graphic that its written neither new, nor better.
Its just genius, speachless, and if she goes true, imagin how funny would be to se the same performanc…

Comme d'habitude...As usual...Konstrakta or as said in French Euro Fans QUEENSTRAKTA ❤❤❤.New and better.On adoooore❤.WHAT IS NEW AND BETTER SINCE TURIN 2 YEARS AGO???😂
I was always of the opinion that this is better than In Corpore Sano. It’s sad this probably won’t win, because it’s easily my top 1 in this selection (and would debut straight in my top 5 Eurovision entries this year if it wins)

Just like in the world of politicians, no matter the country, New, Better, a lot of promises but in the end everything remains the same, hence the choice to keep the performance as similar to in corpore sano as possible.
She's cooking and we're not gonna stop her!
Thanks 🙏 Loved your reaction! And yes, she can get away with it this time as well. Everyone's already said everything about it. I'm glad people are getting the message and enjoy the groove

Good luck to konstrakta and I just been listening to the song and it’s a catchy disco party hit and it’s a boper and I hope it might go through to the final performance and this is a good catchy song and it’s for party’s from Geoff
She is trolling politicians and goverment ( Novo, bolje = New things , better things ) , she screams on politicians that she want something new and better right now in double dose , she cant wait anymore😁😁, she mention "Doctor" in song, doctor is president or prime minister lol

I guess she was simply ironic this time around...
Since the song is called Newer, better, and then we got writings on the wall saying: episode 2: neither newer, neither better
Looks to me that she is referring how in life we are always seeking something new and better than the things we already have and once we get it, well its not that newer or better

I just want news, what's wrong with me? - This actually should be: I only want novelty/newness.
Here it is - This actually should be: Here it comes, or better yet: Coming right up (sarcastically, because evo sa'će actually means - Yeah right, it's gonna happen, sure).
This head is a little more capable This kilo of bread could be two - This should be: If this head (of mine) was a bit more capable...
And so on... So much meaning lost in your translation. And I know it's difficult to actually translate this with nuance, that's why I stopped here because I have no brain cells to do it now haahahha

👍Greetings from Belgrade! 🎉🎶🌹❤️❤️❤️
🙌🏼❤️❤️
Novo, bolje = new, better.
So, we always search for something new and better, but everything is the same, loop. And like this performance, nothing is actually new and better, and because of that this prrformance is REALLY BETTER!

@@esc.norway Right, this is true art! But I am afraid that the world will not have a chance to see this, to see part 2, because I'm from Serbia and I can see that people here would love to send someone else to ESC, someone who is NEW hahaha. But we are waiting for the finals, who knows what could happen.
Bravo konstrakta
Konstrakta is a genious..😂 could you also react to teya dora‘s live performance? :)
Agreed. Thanks for the tip, I will consider it for sure
The whole song talks about our need for something new and different, and the performance is a way of trolling this concept, where consumerism is making us wanting for more and better.

True, it's similar to the last time. And that's the goal: "New Better" (novo, bolje) -
it's a criticism of the Serbian criminal government, which for years has been
buying elections and promising new and better, faster, stronger - that's their catchphrase(novo bolje brže više jače)...
and it's always the same: the same criminals in power, the same problems;
especially in healthcare! "Doctor, what's wrong with me!" "Doktoreeee"
is a literal description of what women went through in a Serbian hospital:
pregnant women were left in pain and labor in the corridor, they wailed and
called the doctor, but the doctors, appointed by the party with purchased diplomas,
ignored those women whose newborns died.
Love it🙌🏼❤️
there are many layers in teh song, lyrics, performance, so it is difficult to explain in english. but the performance is "the same" ON PURPOSE!

React on Teya Doraa.She slayyy💜
Thanks for the tip!
the meaning of the song is that the artist, like every person, always expects something better from himself and from others and is never good enough. so she expected a better song from herself, but that's why she ended up at the doctor. The chorus, which in the song represents society in general, tells her that she is not sick and that she is pretending. The construct thus draws attention to how mental illnesses and mental health are underestimated by society. That's why she intentionally copied herself in order to at least resist the need to constantly be better.
