[edit] Well known

I'm not quite convinced that Joksimović can be characterized as "well-known" in Croatia. He only gained prominence after we saw him in ESC2004. After that he had a concert in Zagreb in front of around eight thousand people, and a failed concert in Pula. That's not to say he's not known at all, but it looks like a one-hit wonder to me. --Joy [shallot] 00:15, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Well, the "failed" Pula concert didn't fail due to lack of interest but because local politicians didn't want a musician form Serbia with such strong folkish influences to gain further accolades by performing in the Arena. Plus, when something is banned by a political decree, I'm not sure the term "fail" applies, but anyway. And since when is concert activity in a specific foreign country a measure of whether someone is a one-hit wonder or not. Judging by the fact R.E.M. also had only one concert in Croatia, I guess they're also one-hit wonder as far as you're concerned.

I love it when Croatians pretend they're oblivious, or at best "under-informed", when it comes to most things that arrive from Serbia. P-leeease! Who do you think, you're fooling? *rolleyes*.
