Band work
After their debut appearance at Eurovision Song Contest, Beauty Queens took part in the Budva Music Festival in July 2007 with "Pet na jedan," earning second place; this track became widely popular on radio stations. In August, they competed at Ohrid Fest performing "Protiv srca," again finishing second while achieving number one on Macedonian charts.
In March 2008, they advanced through Beovizija 2008 by winning the semi-final but ultimately placed third behind Jelena Tomašević in the final round. Their song "Zavet," composed by Vladimir Gaić and Saša Milošević Mare—the creators of Serbia’s Eurovision-winning song "Molitva"—gained considerable acclaim throughout Serbia. Subsequently, Beauty Queens were invited to represent Serbia at the Eurovision Second Chance contest.
On June 1, 2008, during voting at the Vrnjačka Banja Music Festival, they performed Tajči's Eurovision 1990 entry "Hajde da ludujemo" but did not enter competition. Additionally, they hosted a Discovery Channel feature highlighting Belgrade's nightlife and secured third place at the Sunčane skale Festival later that year with the song "Ti ili on."
