I have never heard of her before, but then that in itself is not a bad thing because I believe Eurovision should develop new talent
I have read that she is not very known even in Macedonia and one person even suggested that she was chosen on the advise from the US government as her father and the US ambassador to Macedonia are close friends. I cannot say if this is true, often the fans seem to try and find reasons for a decision that does not suit them.
