Tonight is the grand finale of the most-watched music competition, Zvezde Granda, but the mood is far from festive. After the death of Saša Popović, the creative director and one of the pillars of the show, this season has been marked by sadness, scandals, and technical issues. Saša passed away after a short illness, leaving an indelible mark on the show. The production paused filming to honor the legend, and many wondered if the competition would even continue. Fortunately, plans were in place, and the new season will proceed under the leadership of Goran Šljivić.
A huge shock for fans was the absence of Ceca Ražnatović from the finale, as she had a scheduled concert in Niš. The Grand director even considered having her join live remotely, but nothing was confirmed. The season was full of conflicts among jury members, with sharp words and disputes between Marija Šerifović, Viki Miljković, Ana Bekuta, Đorđe David, and others. Technical problems, like a power outage in the studio, also occurred, but contestants and the audience kept the atmosphere alive with singing and applause.
Another big question mark is the future of Zvezde Granda, as there were rumors about moving from Pink TV to RTS, but neither the production nor RTS confirmed this. There were also rumors about jury contracts, but Đorđe David denied that anyone would be dismissed. Overall, the season was turbulent, but tonight’s finale promises lots of emotions and surprises. Who will take the title of Zvezda Granda, and how will this stormy season end? We’ll see. What do you think? Is Zvezde Granda still what it used to be, or has it gone in a different direction? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s for and who’s against!
