Vocal Coach Reacts to Teya Dora 'Ramonda' Serbia Eurovision 2024 

I am a Dutch person who never cared for eurovision and has never voted on any of them. This might be my first year ever where I would vote. Serbia's song is so powerful and touching. BY FAR my number 1.

It’s my favourite song this year! Good luck Serbia from Romania ❤️❤️❤️

My winner, nothing can change it! 12 points from Slovakia. :)

IT'S MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE! Feels like the world stops when it comes on

Teya Dora is a Berklee graduate! Also, Ramonda is a flower that’s known as “phoenix” amongst the flowers because it can survive extreme drought and needs only a drop of water to “rise from the ashes” again. It is also a symbol of peace in World War I in Serbia 🌸💜 Teya do pobede! 🇷🇸

Serbia 🇷🇸 and portugal 🇵🇹 both serving quality 👌 👏 ✨️

She is pure artist, talented, beautiful, her face expression, her vocal...everything is amazing. WINNER!

12 points from Austria My Number 1

Divan komentar,baš kako ova prekrasna pjesma i zaslužuje.Hvala puno,pozdrav iz Hrvatske💜🌸

Balkans killing this year Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia!😍

Teya Dora is pure art, poetic 💜 Hope Europe recognizes the beauty of Ramonda 🥰

Her voice is incredible. I didn't like this song at first. But over time it landed in 1st place for me ❤️

Thank you for all that kind words about Teya Dora

It taps in one of the quintessential slavic emotions - suffering. It's pure Slav magic. Beautiful. Even though I am rooting for my country obviously this is my favourite Slavic entry.

Thank you for all kind words! Here is an explanation for the flower Ramonda: Natalie’s ramonda possesses a remarkable ability to revive even when fully dehydrated (just with one drop of water) and demonstrates adaptability to harsh environments and it represents hope in bad times. As a result, the flower represents one of the national symbols of Serbia, reflecting the resiliance of the Serbian struggle in World War I (we lost 30% of the population) and symbolizing the rebirth and revival of the country.💜

Deep & strong message from Serbia this year! 10/10

Here is the meaning if you’re interested. 1. Ramonda is a very rare purple flower that grows on Mount Rtanj in Serbia and is known as the “Phoenix flower”. It can survive in harsh environments and can “revive” itself after dehydrating with only a drop of water. It was used as a symbol of the Serbian people in WW1 during which Serbia lost 1/4 of its population. 2. There are several lines in the lyrics that reference the famous exodus of the Serbian people (along with the king and army) who travelled by foot over Montenegrin and Albanian mountains to Greece in the harsh winter of 1915. Around 240.000 people died on the journey and were buried at sea off the coast of a Greek Island in what is known as “The Blue Tomb” or “the watery grave”. The line “there, under the water, everything is dead silent” is a reference to that. Furthermore, another line states “there’s nobody left to guide me towards the morning star”. The Danica star/ the morning star is a staple symbol in Serbian mythology and it symbolizes returning home. In the song it shows the utter desperation and uncertainty whether our people would survive or return. Then you have “The world burns, every flower dies, where have the purple Ramondas vanished” = where have all the Serbs gone? The song ends with “A single purple Ramonda rises from the ashes” symbolizing hope and just like the Ramonda flower resurrects, so do the Serbian people. The lyrics are written in a way where there are clear references to historical events, while also leaving room for a more personal and individual interpretation about inner hope, healing and finding light at the end of the tunnel when all seems hopeless.

She really is the dark horse this year. The song has so much depth and the meaning behind it is incredible. She's been sounding amazing at the pre-parties too, so definitely will be a slay on the Eurovision stage if they get the staging right!

Serbia got a perfect song this year 😊

Thank you for your lovely comments💕kisses from Serbia

No other song this year has that emotional - melancholic but still powerful - quality. And the singer‘s voice is amazing! 💜❤💜

i am so loving this, the emotion, the voice, the language this is absolutely amazing❤ love from 🇧🇦🥰

Serbia is sooooo good this year 10/10, my 2nd place 🇷🇸🪻

She sang this song perfectly live, because it sounds better than the studio version. Her vocal range changes throughout the song, and I think it's beautiful.

As a Serbian I am so proud of her. And I am really thankful for you saying all this wonderful things about her. After she won here in Serbia a lot of people were mad because she was not the fan favorite. Which resulted in her getting a lot of hate. Its truly amazing to see how much support she is getting from all over the world now.

Teya Dora is amazing. ❤ Her voice is quite special. ❤

im serbian and this song brings me to tears... its so emotional, and has a very deep meaning for us

I can't wait, you are so good, my favorite this year is Teya Dora. 💜🌷 Thank you so much, love from Türkiye❤

As someone from Serbia, I’m so happy we’re sending Ramonda to the ESC. Lyrics have so many layers and meaning (both historical (WW1, 11th November) and personal, also fun fact; ramonda serbica is a plant that grows only in some parts of our country). Even if we don’t place well in the end, I’m happy we’re sending these messages to the world. 💜

Serbia should winn this year. I saw her live performance in the Netherlands (eurovision in concert), she was very good

This is song for next 100 years It doesn’t even matter what happens in Eurovision- already winner in my book

It's a very good song!Bravo Serbia!❤

she's my winner too❤ fun fact, she studied at the Berklee College of Music where she shared classes with Charlie Puth!

Oh it is for sure a 10/10 song. I love Ramonda so much!

This song is just so beautiful, for me it's 10/10.

I'm sooo glad that you like our Teya 🇷🇸

I love you Serbia,the best this year ❤

Rooting for Teya Dora this year, the girl has a world quality talent 😍😍

It is absolutely gorgeous, one of my favorites this year, and never fails to make me feel emotional.

Our beloved vocal coach agreed...GIVE HER THE TROPHY rn pls :}

This girl and this song are oustsanding! The message is beautiful too! I love it, it is my top 1. Serbia for the win! 🤩🔥♥️🌸

Song is about hard times in our lifes when we die out inside. She used flower ramonda in chorus becouse that flower, which can be found only on mounteens in central balkan, are also known as "phoenix flower". Even if it dries out only few drops of water and he comes back to life. Ppl going trough hard times are clear metaphora on that flower ability. Ramonda flower also represent resurection of serbia during ww1. Ppl in Serbia wear that flower every 11th november just like brits wear poppy flower.

Yes, she managed to use so many layers that go together, Celtic, Balkan Ethno, classical instrumental, literally a fusion of so many elements that are just palatable.

Numero uno la migliore ❤

Go go Teya Dora❤🇷🇸⭐️

Definitively my Favorit this year ❤ Teya🎉

Thank you so much for your reaction, I'm so glad you like it! Love from Serbia 💜🌸🇷🇸🌸💜

Oh finally! Been waiting for this reaction ❤❤ it sure is a very nice, emotional and touching song. Whether she wins ESC 2024 or not she's already a winner to me. One of the ESC songs that I've repeated over hundreds of times after Loreen's Tattoo ❤❤ Knowing the true meaning emotions behind Ramonda makes this songs even more valuable.

The songs meaning, and the symbolism is pretty deep too. It does have both a haunting, but a hopeful meaning. Its about personal and national resilience and revival, the Serbian Ramonda purple flower blooms after a few drops of water, rises again like a phoenix, even if its completely dried up. I am so glad you like it! 💜💜💜

Ramonda is flower that grows only in Serbia. It has very patriotic meaning. Thanks for your review.

My absolute favourite 💎 It’s so emotional but doesnt make you sad when listening to it 💎

This song is very sad, probably the most sad song this year, and it's such a shame that peoole don't understand it and don't feel it. It's like a bloody lullaby, but also it give us a hope.

Oh God how much I love this song and everything about it! And I love you too Georgina! My winner this year is Serbia followed by divine Portugal 🤍

Thanks from Belgrade🙏🏼🫶🏻❤️😊

Beautiful song and voice love sebia this year As effective as molitva was

A bit surprised to see no comments here yet!... so let me start by sharing mine. Loved your reaction! I am no vocal coach (😉) but I could hear all the vocal points you commented on almost from the first listen. The song is so deep, atmospheric, emotive and beautifully emotional, touching. Love its layers (personal and modern but also historic and national). The message: I read "hope and peace". Through love and resilience. Thanks again for your comments. Enjoy every stripe you have on! Sending virtual Ramondas from Serbia 💜

Goosebumps every time

This song has even deeper meaning that stranger might not understand trough reading lyrics but it is heavily referenced trough it and video as well - ramonda is Serbia's endemic flower, known as “phoenix flower” due to ability to resurrect with a single drop of water, which became a symbol of Serbian suffering during the Great Retreat of the First World War. Thousands of Serbian soldiers were "buried" in sea near Vid, Corfu, Greece, place now known as Blue Tomb.
