Last August, I wrote an editorial explaining why Stefan “Princ” Zdravković should appear on the television show, Miss Scarlet and The Duke. In that editorial, I referenced Auggie’s precept from R.J. Palacio’s book, Wonder, where Auggie states, “Everyone deserves a standing ovation because we all overcometh the world”. But I also said in order for a “standing ovation” to take place, the person in question has to want it. Throughout this Eurovision season, Princ has put the time, talent, effort, and energy into striving toward that “standing ovation”. After being chosen to represent Serbia in the song contest, Princ released a music video of the re-vamped version of his song, “Mila”. Within two weeks, that video received 1.1 million views, affording Princ a place in the top 20 of Eurovision’s Top 20 Most Watched videos of March 2025. Since then, Princ’s music video has received 1.8 million views in a month. On Eurovision’s Youtube channel, you’ll find Princ’s French cover of “Mila” and his cover of Måns Zelmerlöw’s song, “Heroes”, with both videos receiving positive reception. Princ has also received positive reception for his Eurovision pre-party performances at Eurovision In Concert, London Eurovision Party, and Madrid PrePartyES. He was even given a desirable running order spot in Eurovision’s second semi-final, competing toward the end of the semi-final at number 15. However, these achievements do not guarantee a coveted place in the Grand Final. This is where you come in. If you’re planning on or thinking about participating in televoting during Eurovision’s second semi-final, please consider giving Princ as many televotes as possible. You would not only help Princ take one step closer to receiving his “standing ovation”, you would also help Princ take one step closer to making his childhood vision come true, as he said in an interview, “I actually visualized myself winning Eurovision as a kid”. I truly believe Princ is a stronger representative than some people give him credit for. So, please consider giving Princ (number 15) televotes on May 15^th!
