Marija Šerifović, the famous singer and former Eurovision winner, has stirred up quite a storm in the music world! Her scheduled concert in Šabac, set for July 5th, has been postponed to August 1st. The reason? The grand finale of the popular music competition Zvezde Granda, where Marija won’t just be a guest but a key member of the jury. Yes, you read that right – she decided to put everything on hold for the contestants and their big moment, sparking a flood of comments and questions: is this professionalism or just another attention-grabbing stunt?
Marija explained on social media that her work for this season of Zvezde Granda is basically done, and she’s especially proud of her contestant Zoran, who made it to the finals. “Bravo, boy, I’m proud of you!” she said, but then dropped the viral line: “May the best not win!” Is that a message to the contestants or a critique of the system?
Canceling the concert and focusing on Zvezde Granda isn’t the only change in her professional life. Marija has decided not to be a permanent jury member anymore, fueling more speculation about her plans and relationship with the production.
All this comes at a time when the music scene in Serbia and the region is going through turbulence – from changes in music formats, overnight new stars, to questions about authenticity and professionalism. Marija’s decision to postpone her concert and focus on Zvezde Granda is just a drop in the ocean of these changes.
Is this a sign that the music scene is changing? Have competitions like Zvezde Granda become more important than concerts themselves? And what does this say about the audience and their expectations?
