Dragana �arić, also known as Bebi Dol, failed to impress the audience in the latest episode of the RTS Evropsko Lice talent show. The show aims to select the hosts for next year's Beovizija and the Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Belgrade next May.

Four contenders (two male, two female) competed in singing, acting and presentation. One of the tasks was to try to get the "results of the televote" from comedians whose aim was to make the contenders life difficult and give the audience a good laugh. That seemed to be a challenging task for Dragana who did not rise to the occasion failing to act as a Eurovision host would do.

Things did not improve for her in the singing task either. Although she is an experienced performer, she failed to impress the audience when she sang Madonna's Material girl in a rather amateurish way. Dragana received a mere 19,3% of the televote and lost to 21 year-old journalism student Nina Radulović.

Bebi Dol represented Yugoslavia in the 1991 Eurovision Song Contest with Brazil, placing 21st.


Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
