Zvezde Granda Finale in Chaos: Jury No-Shows and Macedonian Nikola Stanišić as the Favorite!
Tonight, the grand finale of the music spectacle Zvezde Granda is happening, but not everything is as rosy as it seems. While the audience prepares to vote and watch the live broadcast, behind the scenes a real drama unfolds – three jury members have decided not to attend the finale! Yes, you read that right! Ana Bekuta, Snežana Đurišić, and Dragan Stojković Bosanac canceled their attendance at the last moment. This is the first time in the competition’s history that something like this happens, and it’s happening at the season’s climax.
Who is the favorite?
Đorđe David, a well-known musician and jury member, openly shared his favorites. In his opinion, Nikola Stanišić, the only Macedonian finalist, has all the predispositions to win. David emphasized that Nikola is a fantastic performer who meets all criteria and that the audience, voting via SMS, realistically has the highest chances to choose him as the winner. This is a big moment for Macedonia, which previously only had a female winner, Slavica Angelova from Strumica, and now might get a male champion.
Drama in the jury and audience voting
The jury absences cast a shadow over the finale. Ana Bekuta announced she cannot attend due to urgent obligations, while Snežana Đurišić and Dragan Stojković Bosanac also canceled at the last moment. This development shocked fans and participants alike. How this will affect the final outcome remains to be seen.
Đorđe David also praised other contestants, especially highlighting Anja Mihajlović as the most attractive female candidate, and Mateo Mićević, who in his opinion is one of the best male performers and can be compared to legends like Zdravko Čolić and Goran Karan. However, he warned about possible vote splitting among Bosnian candidates, which could impact the rankings.
New awards and date postponement
This year, a new award was introduced – the winner’s statue named after Saša Popović, raising the stakes and expectations even higher. The finale was supposed to be held last Saturday but was postponed to July 5 due to unforeseen circumstances.
Conclusion
Tonight, Zvezde Granda brings not only a spectacle but real backstage drama. Jury absences, a Macedonian favorite, and a new award make this finale unpredictable and exciting. Will Nikola Stanišić live up to expectations? Will the audience overcome divided votes? And what is really going on with the jury? Find out tonight on Pink TV, Sitel, Nova BiH, and Nova M.
