No Name

Biography

No Name was a Montenegrin boys band, best known for the controversies surrounding their participation in the national pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2005, as complete outsiders but with a song which has strong national (Montenegrin) identity, they got most of the votes from the jury appointed by the RTCG, causing a stir among the Serbian and Montenegrin followers of the Eurovision Song Contest. Again in March 2006, they participated in the Montenegrin semi-final, and finished 2nd, going on to win in the final with “Moja ljubavi”. The jury appointed by the RTCG failed to award top points to the Serbian-based group Flamingosi, who were, by some, declared winners even before the competition started. Others favouring No Name. New arrangement of the song and victory of No Name came just in time for the campaign for Montenegrin independence, which started that year. The Serbian TV station decided to pull out and therefore No Name could not represent the country in Athens. No Name released their first single “Za Tebe i Mene” in 2004. One of the members, Bojan Jovović, represented Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, as a member of the band Highway. No Name split up in 2008.
