Miroslav Škoro Opens Up About His Relationship With Thompson: 'He Didn't Call When I Was in the Hospital.'', Comments on Jozinović Phenomenon

In a candid conversation on the 'Nema labavo' podcast, renowned Croatian musician Miroslav Škoro offered insights into his current relationship with fellow artist Marko Perković Thompson. Škoro expressed that while they haven't been in touch recently, it's not due to his own volition. He recounted instances of reaching out to Thompson's family during difficult times, contrasting it with a perceived lack of reciprocation when he was ill.

Nismo se dugo čuli, ali nije mojom voljom.

Despite the cooling of their personal connection, Škoro was quick to praise Thompson's undeniable impact on the Croatian music scene. He marveled at Thompson's ability to draw massive crowds, citing a concert that attracted an estimated 450,000 people as a testament to his enduring popularity and unique appeal. Škoro's remarks highlight the significant cultural footprint Thompson has left, regardless of individual opinions on his music or persona.

Čudo je to što je čovjek napravio. Dakle, može ga netko doživljavati na ovaj ili na onaj način, ali stari, 450 tisuća glisti na jednom mjestu bi bilo puno, a ne 450 tisuća ljudi.

The discussion also touched upon the emerging talent of Jakov Jozinović, a young artist who has gained considerable attention for his successful concerts, often featuring covers of popular songs. Škoro addressed the phenomenon, noting that while some may criticize Jozinović for not performing original material, it's a practice not uncommon in the music industry. He humorously suggested that aspiring artists could simply advertise their own performances if they wished to gain recognition, implying that Jozinović's success is a combination of talent, timing, and audience reception.

“

Jakovu Jozinoviću se poklopilo puno toga, Bogu hvala da je tako. S druge strane, neki mu ljudi zamjeraju da pjeva tuđe pjesme, a on radi covere.

Škoro's reflections provide a glimpse into the dynamics of the Croatian music industry, where personal relationships and professional success are often intertwined. His comments on both Thompson and Jozinović underscore the complexities of fame, artistic expression, and the enduring power of music to connect with audiences across generations.

Uzmeš svoju sliku, zalijepiš na banderu i napišeš – u dva. Znaš ono, u 20 sati tu i tu, pa tko dođe, dođe, je l'? Pa ako ti ljudi dođu, dobro, ako ti ne dođu, pa imaj drugih poslova, nije loše biti ni keramičar.
