Amar Gile: Aleksandra Prijovic Is Number One
Singer opened up about ex-girlfriend Aleksandra Prijovic, the late Sasa Popovic, and his favorite song after a Friday show at a Belgrade tavern.
Amar Gile Jasarspahic opened up about Aleksandra Prijovic on Friday night, right after a performance at a well known Belgrade tavern. The singer was in a talkative mood with reporters, discussing his career, his early days, and his ex-girlfriend.
Amar rose to fame as the winner of the “Zvezde Granda” competition, where he was discovered by Sasa Popovic. He shares a child with his ex-wife, a subject he prefers not to discuss in detail. Aleksandra Prijovic, now one of the most sought-after singers in the region, is his former girlfriend.
Talking to reporters after the show about the man he says changed his life, he said:
That part of my life is the most beautiful to me. Sasa Popovic changed my life and I will never forget that. When I heard he was sick, I thought he would beat it, but when he passed away, we all cried at home.
Amar added that he finds it hard to read comments from people who criticized Popovic after his death.
What did he say about Aleksandra Prijovic?
When reporters asked him who he thought was currently the best female vocalist on the domestic music scene, the singer did not hesitate to name his ex-girlfriend.
Aleksandra Prijovic is currently the strongest, in every way: her career, her songs, her voice. She has changed physically, but for the better compared to when we were together. She is number one.
After splitting with Amar, Prijovic climbed to the very top of the regional scene, while he stayed loyal to the tavern circuit and performances like the one on Friday.
Asked which of her songs he would most like to sing himself, Gile picked “Sve po starom” without a second thought.
“Sve po starom,” that’s a perfect song.
Asked whether the women in his past marriages had tried to change him, the singer said that was never the issue, but that he does not want to talk about his first marriage, the one that gave him a child. Fame, he insists, has not changed him. If anything, he says, he has become more generous toward his friends, and that much has stayed the same since before his “Zvezde Granda” win.
Amar Gile remains one of the few singers from that scene who speaks about his ex without bitterness, even as she performs on the biggest regional stages while he still prefers the tavern microphone, the same one he used again on Friday.
