B & H: Vukasin Brajic to Oslo with 'Thunder & Lightning'

The name of the performer and the song title have been announced in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Broadcaster, BHRT, selected Vukasin Brajic to perform the song 'Munja i grom' (Thunder and Lightning), composed by Edin-Dino Saran, frontman of the B & H rock band 'Letu stuke' .

As released earlier today by BHRT, Vukasin Brajic, 26, runner-up of last year's Operation Triumph hosted by Belgrade, as well as participating in the serbian national final Beovizija 2009 with his band OT Bend last year will represent Bosnia & Herzegovina in Oslo. Vukasin Brajic has gained his popularity in all the former Yugoslav republics owing to his excellent vocal performances. 

Edin-Dino Saran is the frontman of the B & H rock band 'Letu stuke', which has gained popularity across the region, and is one of the most popular composers in B & H and Croatia, having composed for Vanna, Crvena jabuka, Luka Nizetic, as well as for the B & H mega folk star Halid Beslic.

Vukasin Brajic was selected internally by a panel of eight music experts. The song 'Munja i grom' will air on the BH Eurosong '10 show to be shown on BHRT on 7th March 2010.

  • Watch Vukasin Brajic perform last year on the serbian national final show Beovizija 2009 with his band OT Bend singing "Blagoslov za kraj" which came 2nd.

When we are talking about his popularity, I have never heard for him before his choice for Eurovision 2 days ago. And I am from Bosnia & Herzegovina. I heard that OT Band finished 2nd on Beovizija last year, but I have never heard for that band before that too, and I didn't watch Beovizija then, and didin't know who are the members of the band. So...

POPULAR IN EX-YUGO!? cascada - i think you must be mistake...he might be popular with people who watched Operacija Trijumf..but when u put in him in the musical business and not the reality tv 'business' then he is not popular!! nobody really is from O.T .. not even Adnan! of course a lot of people would know of the people from O.T but u cant say in the musical industry they are well known. well known in the music industry is singers like Lepa Brena, Ceca, Severina, Tose - i dont think theres ONE person in the whole ex-yu who doesnt know of these guys..perhaps not everyone likes their music - but everyone would know them

@pera bg, Mark etc..
Too many males??? I think the only reason you think so are because you are males yourselves. Don't know if pera is male or female though, but I assumed he's a he. There have been too many women in some past years so this is a great change for me at least. They are usually better singers too overall unless they are like Sakis of course.

Plus, there's ONLY been chosen 6 males so far and we have 32 countries to go. A lot of them will surely send a lot of women... I don't think 6 males and one band with males (maNga) is enough to complain over.

Chance of Bosnia for final is 50%, because we have too many male singers.

I THINK THIS SONG ONLY BY THE TITLE WILL HAVE 12 PTS FROM GREECE AND CYPRUS!!

I think they will send a very acoustic song if you understand what i mean, like this http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=997p0qqu47E

"composed by Edin-Dino Saran, frontman of the B & H rock band 'Letu stuke' ." Letu stuke is a very chill and acoustic band and the frontman of the band has written the song so i think it will be like a chill/acoustic song and not a rock song like he competed with "OT band" in Beovizija...

Good luck bosnia :)

B&H had bad entries during th 1990s, but after 2000 we entries are better and better. Hope that success will be repeated.

@ Axel
JLS maybe, but Alexandra Burke if continue to work with American singers such as rappar Florida (AMAZING rappar) will be popular!!
All she needs are good and popular mainstream songs! :)
Coz now everybody know for her, and she just has to choose right songs!

Marko,

I have a feeling that next year this time, everybody will have forgotten Alexandra and JLS... Like Markeli says, very artificial mainstream popsongs, no real identity.... I think the only one that will survive is that American singer Clarkson and our Leona Lewis. Only because she fills up the whole that was left open by Whitney Houston.


MARKO :P [60087]
Tue 12 Jan 2010 15:07:18

@ Markeli
But Alexandra Burke and JLS are not loosers at all! :O
And would you like The Saturdays to represent UK in ESC??

Axel
Maybe you should say every Turk seems to like her, because a hell of a lot of other people don't. Anyway, if you come from a talent show, you are complete loser... it's how I see it, and many other people don't. You maybe able to sing, but your voice tends to be bland, and your songs tend to be manufactured. I think the only one who has broken out of that is Amanda Jenssen... and we won't hear her in ESC anytime soon, and that's because she didn't become a total loser :D

Well I like Michael's voice a lot, this one I don't know. He's cute and that's it. Hadise was a talent show drop out aswell and she couldn't even sing but everybody here seems to like her....
