Radmila Manojlović is famous Serbian turbo folk singer.She was born on 25th August 1985, in the town of Požarevac , Serbia. During her high school education, she was one of the best students. Having finished primary school, she started singing in clubs and at weddings all over Serbia, in order to earn enough money for her family, who had financial problems. In 2004, she entered the contest called "Zvezde Granda" ("The Stars of Grand"), which is one of the biggest contests for young pop and folk singers in Serbia (the contest itself resembles "Pop Idol"). She came to the semi-final, but didn't succeed going into the final. However, in 2007, she gave it one more try, and that has probably been the best decision of her life. She finished second in the final, and became one of the most popular Serbian folk singers, although she has released only two songs ("Nikada više" /"Never again"/, on the album of the 12 finalists and semi-finalists of "Zvezde Granda", and "Kako bole usne neverne" /"How these unfaithful lips hurt"/, performed at "Grand festival", the biggest festival of Serbian pop and folk music). Both songs have become enormously popular in ex-Yugoslavian countries, whereas "Nikada više" has been declared the song of the year 2007. During one year of popularity, she went through an amazing physical transformation, and now stands for one of the most beautiful female celebrities in Serbia.
At the moment, she is on tour with other 6 finalists of the contest "Zvezde Granda" (throughout Serbia, the Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia, Austria and Switzerland). Their concerts attract thousands of young people. Radmila has become famous for her extremely energetic live performances. At the same time, she studies economy at The University of the town of Kragujevac and prepares her first album with one of the most popular Serbian composers, Dragan Brajović Braja, which is to be released in September 2008.
