This should have gone to Eurovision. Top 5 for sure.

Mandoline by Saša Lendero was the most popular summer hit across all the Balkans from Slovenian national final in 2005. It was public favourite to win, but jurries refused to give her points. Slovenia doesn't have any arena for hosting so they were afraid if they win Eurovision they will have to invest to much money (like Azerbaijan 2012 with 100 mill€) or give up hosting. Audience and public were furious after that.

I love this song! 12 points from Portugal :D

I have no idea why EMA used juries in the 2000s when it was 100% televoting at the Eurovision, and when all the songs selected by the public (maybe apart from Nuša Derenda in 2001) were better than what the jury made win. This one, for example, would've probably become Slovenia's best ever Eurovision result.

They thought Mandoline would win whole ESC and Slovenia would go bancrupt

sasa je odlicna i ne znam koju bih pjesmu posebno izdvojio..obozavam je..

2023 and still can't get over the fact that this bop wasn't send to Athens it would have done a top 5 100%

Saša had by far the best song on EMA both in 2005 and 2006, but our jury did her bad...She deserved to win both times and would easily qualify for the finals of Eurovision if she was given the chance. She is the winner in my and many other people's books.

I don’t agree with 2005 Omar Naber Forever ❤ But with 2006 i agree

I wish this went through in 2006. Does anyone else get Genghis Khan vibes from this song too? The 2000s version of it - the costumes, dancing, epic beat.

With Moldova this year choosing the juries winner over the audience I couldn’t resist coming to this juries over audience scandal !!! This song was a hit even in Israel where i am from !!! Do you get it?? We heard it on playlists of bars in Tel Aviv ! Imagine how well it could have done in the Eurovision For sure the first ever and only top 5 for Slovenia! As i said before, EMA 2006 was Slovenia framing their biggest ever failure in the eurovision instead of their biggest success

Hilling music. I dont know,but I hering this music in forein language...But is incredible ....even ...

If I had a nickel for each time that the juries of a Balkan Eurovision selection in 2006 killed two perfectly good televote-successful songs out of sheer pettiness, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Actually, I recently read some old forums on EMA in general but also 2006 and a lot of people writing were happy this didn't win. Their main concerns were that this "looks too Bosnian" and "doesn't represent Slovenia" and stuff like that

Mandoline and Metulj were two masterpieces composed by Andrej Babic, which were unfortunately wasted on a mediocre singer like Sasa. The audio used in this clip is the studio version of the song - the actual live performance sounded a lot less impressive, since Sasa is rather thin-voiced. Anzej, on the other hand, had a crappy song but sounded amazing live. So yeah, no one had a complete package at EMA that year.
