Milan, his sister (Nastasija) and his friend (Jelena) at "Sound"

English translation

I: How is on the float "Sound"?
M: The atmosphere is great, I came because my friends have called me and I have the opportunity to take my sister out because I want to see how she is controlling her behaviour when she goes out and till now she is good.
I: You are a real older brother. Who is going out?
M: The older brother... I am not going out so much... Sometimes for some R'n'B night but I am a supporter of some more intimate hanging in apartment without crowd
I: Your fans are worried and they ask how are you reacting on all this articles from magazines?
M: I'm lucky because it's so much of them so I'm not worried, They are my biggest support and for them I'll keep fighting. And how am I reacting? Well, as you can see I am not reacting. I just recommened to those who call themselver journalists to delete those invented articles so when we make through this situation we can continue working normally.

An interview after Eurovision 2010

English translation

I: What is Milan Stankovic doing on Suncane skale?
M: Organisators called me to accept award for the best festival appearance in the last year.
I: Milan, are you satisfied with your appearance on Eurovision?
M: Of course, that's the big step in my career and to have in your biography the fact that you represented your country on so prestigious festival but I have to confess that it is a very stressful time in my life, not only in my career, in my private life happened some tragedies so I payed expensive price for that step but anyway I am really honored and I am satisfied. I'v been counting that jury is going to do everything more difficult because they gave a half of points and other half the audience so it's important I held good average of our country I got into finale and I didn't dissapoint my fans.
I: Who was your biggest support in these moments?
M: All the time my family is supporting me and that's very important for me. Family is part of my personality and fans are part of my career
I: And Rada Manojlovic?
M: These are the people I love so I am seeing them as my family
I: We noticed that after appearance on Eurovision you are not in medias, can you tell us why?
M: Now I did a exception because I have to come and accept award it's unprofessional not to appear but these days I am preparing something new and it's weird to medias that I refuged after I came back because everyone wanted to know something. I think I'll, after this step, refuge until something new. The smartest is to refuge if you don't have anything new to show and reached my bonus for this year. It will be good if in the end of the year to happen something bigger and better so I am working on that. Past month I was resting
I: But we all expected to see you in Grand but you were't there
M: Recording of shows is done. Recordings are in advance
I: There wasn't some misunderstanding with Sasa Popovic?
M: No, and I don't like that tabloids send off me with the story I blackmail Tijanic and when I come back they welcomed me with the story that I bluster Popovic. So it turned out that I am opposing to all important persons and that's not true. This time I appeared to demand all that and show that I am not depressed. Bad things happened in medias, people gave them right to write false interview so it's better I pulled back and wait to show something new
I: For a short time you did big success. Did the fame changed you?
M: It's changed the circle of people around me, circumstances are changed and I am trying to adapt but it's difficult. I use to be myself for price of everything, so I am not accepting compromises and how much is more difficult that way that much is better because in short time I founded my way and to go that way
I:Your styling is, as always, excellent, who is credited for that?
M: Well unfortunately me. I would like to find somebody who could help me so I don't have to think about that but...
I: You are always polished
M: I force. If you are on stage that's why you need to be different. That's the only reason why are you there not on the street or in some store. I am thinking on that way that is cliché for singer to be all the time in suit and stiffed. When we watch world stars we can see that's not like that. I am forced to go on that way and in the start that was difficult now is paid off because the whole nation chose me
I: Of course. Wish you all the best in your career
M: Thanks. See you.

Milan Stankovic talks about his medical practice

Milan Stankovic kod doktora "Strava emisija"

English translation

I: Hello and good day.How are you boy?
M: Alright.
I: Wait, let me first ask you this. How is it that your hair stands up like that? Is it permanent?
M: It stands up like that because I am young.
I: Yeah, look at my hair, it doesn’t stand up at all!
M: It just hangs like that...
I: I have done everything to style my hair and went to a professional hairdresser and still nothing.
M: Have you tried gel?
I: No, I haven’t...
M: I will check your hair for you...
I: No, no , no – don’t get up, stay there. Another tried to touch my hair and I also said no.
M: Okay, okay!
I: We will talk about my hair later and how I can make my hair as strong as yours. It’s more interesting to talk about your problems openly...
M: You want me to talk at this time now?
I: Right now.
M: I thought it would take a longer time to sort itself out.
I: Go on...
M: But, I don’t know what to say
I: Just try and we will listen. Don’t touch your hair – don’t mess it up!
M: I’m alone.
I: Alone? I don’t know what to say. When did this start?
M: About October last year and I thought it would sort itself out...
I: And what, you just turned around and noticed that no one was around?
M: I just turned around and noticed I was alone. Everyone has started to bother me and try to impress me and they tease me about my problems...
I: Teasing you?
M: Teasing me.
I: And they immediately tease you and make jokes. It’s because of your hair and how it stands up! I’m just asking. That’s what I think.
M: I think it is about me being alone...
I: So if you found someone your hair would just fall back down??
M: If the weather is bad, my hair will fall down slowly
I: So now your hair is up and when the season changes it will be sitting forward then – you know? What I’m saying is not bad! It’s better to have your hair forward then flopping down. That’s the worst thing. So, you say you are alone?
M: Yes
I: Well, I don’t know how to help you.
M: I came to you just to say that I thought the problem would just sort itself out
I: Maybe what you need to do is to record your album...
M: I have!
I: ...and don’t call it Solo (alone)!
M: Well, it didn’t help. I did call it alone.
I: But why did you call it Solo!? Come on – go outside. This is your fault – you called your album Solo and now you are Solo! Go outside! And you ask me for help… Go outside!
M: But you’re trained to help me!
I: I won’t charge you – go outside.
M: Alright, alright.
I: Go outside Solo.
M: Okay! Good that I don’t have to pay.
I: The truth you don’t pay me! Strange...NEXT!

Milan Stankovic "Vi pitate" 4

English translation

I: Do you know how to dance 'moonwalk'?
Milan: No, I'm not so talented..It's better you don't see my dance.
I: How do you dance?
Milan: Really miserably..
I: Do you know how to dance 'kolo'?
Milan: Of course I know, that ordinary one..That's just for weddings when you have to fit into, and not to play some urban person..That's really stupid. If you're in that situation, you can fit into and dance 'kolo' or you can leave..
I: We mentioned before that you are very adaptable, and proud of that..
Milan: (smiles)
Question for Milan: Where do you go out?
Milan: I have to say that I don't go out. I doesn't seem very attractive to me. It's not that I don't like company but I don't like clubs where everyone else goes out.
I: Why?
Milan: When I was in America, I've been going out in some clubs because nobody knows who I am there, and that's great. Going out should be relaxing, not a way to promote yourself.
I: I read somewhere that in America you especially liked afternoons because you were going out with Rada for a lunch.. Not me, (smiles) you know Rada?
Milan: I had to eat..Especially in those luxury hotels. I had to try it.
I: How does people eat in Bellagio? (hotel, I'm not sure how to write it's name)
Milan: Well, you eat for all your money, and you pretend to be very gentle because you have to fit into that people. But the food is nothing special..I ordered some pasta..
I: Is food better here?
Milan: Yes, of course.
I: So, you always chose restaurants instead of clubs?
Milan: Yes. But that's true when we talk about our clubs. I don't go out here because I don't feel well..
I: You are afraid that someone will put something in your drink? Do you know how old people say..?
Milan: (laughs) Yes, they say you should drink just that what you get in a closed can..
I: How are you relaxing yourself when you go out? Do you like to sit and look around you or do you spend time with your friends? What do you drink?
Milan: I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I don't drink coffee.. You think that I can't have fun without it? I don't drink alcohol, but it doesn't mean that I never get sousing. But that is not reason for me to keep drinking.
I: You were drunk one time? What were you drinking?
Milan: Few times.. I was drinking white wine, some punch and one cocktail. That was experimentation.
I: Do you like to experiment?
Milan: Yes. I like to try something new, to see some new things.. And punch is my favourite drink.
Question for Milan: In what kind of relationship are you with other competitors from 'Zvezde granda'?
Milan: I'm in great relationship with them.. Especially with my 'bunch', because we were spending a lot of time together, we were living together, sleeping together, I mean in the same rooms.. We all crossed a way from anonymity to popularity. And we have also been commended as a best group, there wasn't any brawls or negative vibrations.
I: You said that you've been sleeping in the same rooms..everyone in his own bed?
Milan: Yes, of course. It was a two-bed room, and I was with Nemanja. We all had a roommate.
I: I guess that you could'n fall asleep immediatelly, and than you talk..?
Milan: Well, it depends. When we came back from some concert, we were tired.
I: Nemanja switched with Radmila, didn't he? How did she get in your room? Or you went in her room?
Milan: I went in her room.
I: How?
Milan: Well, I come in her room and her roommate leaves..
I: And what were you doing then?
Milan: (laughs) I don't know..a lot of things.. Some of them are for public, like talking, reading newspaper, watching TV and some of them are not for public.
I: In America you had separated rooms?
Milan: Yes, now we're friends.
I: Do you want to kiss her sometimes?
Milan: (smiles) Well, it's stupid question..I don't know.
I: You want to say that I'm stupid??
Milan: No, I want to say that the question is unpleasantly.
I: You want to say that I'm unpleasant? Okay, I can submit that easier than 'stupid'.
Milan: OK, you are unpleasant. (laughs)
I: So,you are staying in separated rooms?
Milan: Yes...
I: It means you're staying with Nemanja?
Milan: (laughs)

I: Without suspicion, you look great. I'm just interested...You put on your make-up only when you're on TV?
Milan: Yes, of course.
I: Privately you don't cover your imperfections?
Milan: No, I don't need to put on make up when I'm home..
I: And what about when you go out in the evening?
Milan:No..no...just when we have some photo shooting and that's it.
I: Not even concealer?
Milan: No, not even concealer. I said that I don't put on the make-up.
I: Fine, I ask because I usually don't put my make-up but when they ask me I say that I sometimes have to put on concealer, lip gloss and flush..
Milan: My make-up is very visible because I have problematic skin and I need to have more make-up than those who don't have problematic face...
I: So that's the reason you need to have little more powder?
Milan: Not little more, much more.. That's the only difference.
I: You don't have your own powder?
Milan: No, I don't.
I: Powder is the only thing you use?
Milan: (laugh) What else I need to use? Do I need to curl my lashes? No, no..
I: I ask because..Why are you lauhing? We are talking absolutely open. You know that people think that you put much make-up? What you say to them?
Milan: Yes, of course, because it's necessary..
I: And you will put on make-up as long as it will be necessary?
Milan: Yes, of course, when I'll have shiny skin I'll come here and they will take that dry thing and put it on my face..I will be happy..and maybe they'll be happy too.. So, I send greetings to my beautician Dragica. We'll work on it.
I: And, about that metrosexual cosmetics. Metrosexuals, except they maintain personal hygiene, are men who have their seasonal favourite parfum, their hand cream, their cream for day and night, better hairdo than 50% women..
Milan: I have that, I have favourite parfum and I have parisian cosmetics which is prepared by my beautican specially for problematic skin.
I: Let's say which parfum is your favourite?
Milan: It's not very known, Rocha.. i found it when I travel abroad.
I: For all of you who want to smell like Milan..
Milan: I can use Ultra Red too..
I: Okay, and can you give some trick for all men who want take care about their look.. What do you use in these cold days, for your hands..?
Milan: No..no..as you can see I even have some paronychia, I'm really rusty..
I: (laugh) Shame on you.. And, Labello..?
Milan: Yes, especially when you kiss, you can't go so scabby..
I: And how far would you go with depilation?
Milan: No, I don't depilate myself.
I: Eyebrows?
Milan: What? I update my eyebrows.
I: You twitch them? You know that Željko Samardžić admitted that he twitches eyebrows because that opens his eye..So do you?
Milan: Yes, but not me, my beautician does. Whenever I come, she arranges things which are rusty.
I: And we recommend to everybody to take care abaut their look in the same way.
Milan: Well, I think that that's our obligation.. We must live in this time, not in the past.
I: Does it hurt when you twitch them? It hurts me..
Milan: Of course it does, but what can I do...?
I: Is that your natural hair color?
Milan: No, of course..
I: So, You have highlights, you dye your hair? Who does it for you?
Milan: My hairdresser Igor, he's already known among celebrities. This hairdo is his idea.. I mean, I had this hairdo before 'Zvezde granda' but it's more effective with this highlights. When you appear on 'Zvezde granda' you need to look different, modern..
I: Did you use foils or..?
Milan: Yes, with foils..
I: How does it looks like..I mean I know how it looks like but..
Milan: You mean how do I look like with foils on my head? Great..
I: Were that you first highlights? Was it unusual for you?
Milan: Yes..first time I came to 'Zvezde granda' wearing a cap because I didn't know how will people react.. And after that I got used to it and now I let people say whatever they want..I like it.
Question for Milan: Who is your ideal?
Milan: We already answered that question. When we talk about male singers, that are Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake. Michael Jackson because he is...
I: What is your favourite song from Michael Jackson?
Milan: What is my favourite, I can't remember...(he sings "They don't care about us")
I: Okay, and what fascinates you about him?
Milan: That is a maximum of showbusiness, he is not some quasi singer, that is spectacle, every his appearance, every his concert, the whole his story, millions of fans who scream when he moves his head..you can see those tapes on Youtube.. He stands for 5 minutes and thay scream just because he stands, he moves his head, they keep screaming. Something spectacular is happening around that man and that is the true recipe.
I: If you were 15 years younger, would you visit Neverland?
Milan: If I were...Ouugh, no, no..I respect him as an artist and for what he's doing..I can't say is that true..I know he has been on court..
I: Michael Jackson is the whole package in showbusiness but he's also a controversial person. Can you locate yourself in this whole story, where is your limit? Would you change your look so drastically because of showbusiness?
Milan: I don't know was he doing that because he wanted to get some attention..i mean that's not negative.. But in business, he's the whole story. Justin Timberlake is the whole story too.
I: Do you copy someone a little bit? Do you watch some videos, for example Justin..?
Milan: Yes, I do. Unfortunately, in Serbia we don't have so good choreographers who can copy that moves.
I: But you don't copy anybody?
Milan: You see that I don't.
