Introducing 2013: Slovenia!

I have decided to take a look at each entry this year, in a lead-up to the contest! There are 39 countries participating this year, all aiming to win in Malmo (well, some don't wanna win!) Turkey, Portugal, Slovakia and Bosnia & Herzegovina decided to withdraw this year, which was a shame, so lets hope they'll decide to return for 2014! I have drawn all the countries randomly and today it's Slovenia's turn...

Hannah - Straight Into Love!

At first, the Slovenian participation was in serious doubt but just days for the cut off they confirmed - thankfully! The broadcaster announced on 1st February that American born Hannah Mancini would have the job of representing Slovenia. Then on Valentines Day, Straight Into Love was released and I personally thought the original lacked something. That something (not the Lithuanian one, LOL!) was finally included in the new version and I'm really pleased with it now! It's awesome - dubstep at it's best! And it's amazing she wrote and composed it all by herself...

I don't know if this will qualify, it can if she needs to pull it off live. I'm sure she can do that - I'm sure she can do Slovenia proud. The stage performance for this one will be really important. I dunno how they will present it - similar to the video-clip with topless men everywhere? It'll certainly get some points then! Slovenia will perform after Estonia, a ballad, and before Croatia, another ballad. She'll stick out, and that can only be a good think, no?

Straight into love, we’ll break through the dark And light the world up from the sky when we collide...

Here it is...
