When Heart Meets Stage: Last night’s finale of ‘Nikad nije kasno’ wasn’t just about crowning a winner—it was an emotional rollercoaster that left viewers teary-eyed! Žika Jakšić, the legendary creator and soul of this musical spectacle, couldn’t be there due to serious health issues and an emergency surgery he underwent two years ago. Although he recently left the hospital, his condition didn’t allow him to sit on the jury or be with us live. But his energy and spirit filled the studio, as he followed every moment of the finale and stayed in constant contact with the production team and hosts.
Host Dragana Katić couldn’t hold back her emotions and delivered a heartfelt speech: “Žika, listen to how much we love you, don’t cry!” Her words touched everyone present and viewers at home. The competition winner, Marko Janković Blek, admitted he didn’t expect to win but praised the jury for being open and understanding towards the performers and their music.
The contest proved that music knows no age, with the audience voting via Facebook and SMS. Kire Naunovski from Macedonia snagged the highest number of Facebook votes—an impressive 12,000—while Marijana Soldat Bogojević won the SMS vote. This confirms that ‘Nikad nije kasno’ is more than a show—it’s a place where dreams come true and love for music bridges generations.
Even though Žika wasn’t physically present, his presence was felt in every note and every song. His fight for life and dedication to the show inspire us all. And if you thought this was just another music show, think again—this is a story about courage, love, and an undying passion for life and music. Who knows, maybe next year Žika Jakšić will be back on the jury, healthier and stronger than ever!
So, dear readers, what do you think? Is this show proof that age is no barrier to dreams? Or is Žika Jakšić the real hero teaching us how to fight? Drop a comment, share your thoughts, or just crack a joke—because stories like this deserve to be talked about and laughed with!
