world music wednesday: ja imam talenat...

... is literally, 'i have talent' or, 'serbia's got talent'. this year's most celebrated candidate was by far, oliver katic. when video of his first performance on the show made the rounds on twitter earlier this year, i couldn't figure out what i appreciated more, katic's face or his chops. i think the judges felt the same. here's a translation of the judges' comments for those of you who speak less srpski than i:

OLIVER!! OLIVER!! OLIVER!!
(we're really impressed.)

phenomenalna!
(you're the shit.)

...najbolje...
(best or better or something. no, really.)

da! da! da!
(that's 3 yeses. no, really.)

so though he certainly went through to the next round, i don't know if he actually won. (if anyone does, please drop a comment on it.) in the spirit of thanksgiving, i just wanted to say hvala to the universe and all the gods within it, for hot, talented serbian men. enjoy.
