[Daniel the Great]

Apparently Molly Mildrum invited Bobi and his brother and sister to meet Usher, how lucky are they.
For those of you that don't know of Molly Mildrum he is big in the Music scene in Australia.

I think we should make a simillar thread with foreigners singing Macedonian songs in Macedonian.

You remember the Brazilian guy.. also the recently video of Norwegian kids etc.

YouTube - Sonce ne me gree/Сонце не ме грее

[Dimko-piperkata]

tell me whats the name of the tv station...i will figure it out whether i can find a possibility

[I of Macedon]

I personally think (as was the judges reactions) that he blew the song choice. Why a Christina Aguilera song for a Grand Final I'm at a loss, especially when one compares to his previous song choices (even the other songs on his youtube channel). But who knows maybe he will get enough votes.

Though if he doesn't win because of the song choice he can always call up his mate Usher , or just wait for a record company

[Frank]

The song selection was bad

Win or not he will have record deals very soon

Bobby and maybe 2 others are through were it counts outside of the TV competition

[Risto the Great]

He did well, but it was not a soulful song. As a consequence, he gave up his best asset. Why would a kid sing about being stronger or whatever .... because he got to the next level on Call of Duty or something? A silly inappropriate choice. But he has talent and I am sure he will do something very good with it.

I found this article. There was also a poll about who should win Australia's Got Talent and so far there have been 71 votes and Andonov is leading with 30 votes or 42.25%.

Talent changes Bobby's future

BOBBY Andonov's life has already changed because of Australia's Got Talent.

Young fans have taken to camping outside Andonov's home in Williamstown since he first appeared on the Channel 7 show.

Music guru Ian "Molly" Meldrum flew him to Sydney to meet R'n'B sensation, Usher.

The 15-year-old singing heartthrob has been described as Australia's answer to current US pop sensation Justin Bieber.

"Sometimes I'll be in a singing class and there will be girls ringing the doorbell downstairs," Andonov said. "It has been interesting."

Andonov faces his toughest test tonight when he competes against seven other acts in the first of the talent show's grand finals.

Grand finalists include roller-skating troupe Rolling Entertainment, dance group Justice Crew and illusionist Adam Murby.

Other showbiz wannabes in the grand final are rock-opera singer Aimee Elizabeth and show-tune princess Brianna Bishop.

Two more grand finalists will be announced at the start of tonight's show, though Andonov is a favourite to win the competition and $250,000.

"Appearing on the show has given me the confidence to do even better now," Andonov said.

"Over the next 12 months I want to write more songs, create an image and a sound, and hopefully get signed to a record label."

Andonov, who represented Macedonia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2008, has performed Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah and Kanye West's Heartless on the show.

Didn't feel like opening another thread for this one, just wanted to make a point about the X-Factor (similar show to the one that Andonov was on) winner called "Altiyan", who is apparently of Croatian and (?) Bosnian heritage. His name looks similar to the Turkish "Altan".

Anyway, I found this:

I am fluent in the former Yugoslav language.

I have met other Croats and Serbs who have said similar stuff. The Yugoslav identity was much more prevalent among them than the other people in the former Yugoslavia. Nevertheless, the terminology is borne of either ignorance or a certain narrative.
