2008—2009: Operacija trijumf

edit

Operacija trijumf is a regional reality/talent show based on Fame Academy held in Belgrade and is considered Ana's biggest break, considering it was watched by five countries in the Western Balkan – Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia. Ana was one of the six semi-finalists and she got evicted just a day before the final. Ana spent 99 days in the house. During the time she performed in 14 gala nights and she was a special guest at the final, where she premiered her new song "Preživjet ću".

Even though she was evicted just a day before the final, she was given a chance to perform one out of 3 songs she was preparing for the evening. The song was Frozen by Madonna. Also, she was one of two students (the other being Milica Majstorović) who got to present their own songs for the first Operacija trijumf compilation. This song is "Preživjet ću". The song got positive reviews by the jury and the audience.

During her stay in the show she performed:

2009—present: Upcoming solo album

edit

Ana Bebić performed her debut single, "Preživjet ću", at the final gala event of the Operacija trijumf, held on January 5, 2009, in Belgrade, Serbia. It was very well received by both audience and the jury. In the first week it was Radio B92's No. 1 most played song of the week.[1] Bebić is currently working on her solo album in Belgrade; it will be written and produced by Filip Miletić and Miloš Roganović, the writers of her hit "Preživjet ću". It would be released in 2009 in Croatia and Serbia.[4] She would also record an English version of "Preživjet ću", which will be included on the Operacija trijumf compilation.[5]

Her Operacija Trijumf participation enabled her to work with producers Miro Buljan i Nenad Ninčević and create the song "Mrzim spore stvari" that will fulfill Ana's dream of performing at the Dora Festival, the Croatian preselection for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. On February 27, 2009, the final night of the festival was held. Ana eventually ended up 12th[6] receiving 11 points from the televote and 2 points from the jury. The song received mixed reviews, being called brilliant by some, but childish by others. Nevertheless, the song got great response with the audience.[7]

Alongside her Operacija trijumf colleague Danijel Pavlović, Bebić appeared in one episode of television show Leteći start, which is produced by Emotion.[8] It was also announced on June 8, 2009, that she would take part in Sunčane Skale festival in Herceg Novi, alongside her Operacija trijumf colleagues Danijel Pavlović and Milica Majstorović with the song "Rođeni sa greškom", written by Emina Jahović. The song was released on the internet on June 27, 2009. The final night of the festival was held on July 8, 2009. The trio placed the eight with 39 points.[9] In September 2009, it was announced Bebić and Majstorović would make cameo appearances in television series Žene sa Dedinja.[10] Bebić joined Croatian singer Severina Vučković on the stage during her tour performance in Belgrade, performing Vučković's song "Prijateljice" with Severina herself and Nataša Bekvalac.[11] She has performed several times in many of Emotions TV programs such as "Sve za ljubav" and "Veliki Brat".

Ana entered Veliki Brat VIP 4, the celebrity edition of the Balkan version of Big Brother on January 30, 2010. She was the first housemate to get evicted, after a week spent on the show. She lost out to Macedonia's celebrity Boki 13.

On June 16, 2010, Belgrade tabloids reported that the side window of Ana's car was broken the day before by unknown perpetrator(s) while the car was parked in Lamartine's street in the Vračar neighbourhood in Belgrade, speculating the reason might have been that the vehicle was carrying Croatian license plates. Regarding the incident Ana said: "I feel great in the capital of Serbia, being accepted wonderfully by all. Belgrade is a free and open city and I don't want to believe that someone acted loutish and broke my car window only because it [car] has Dubrovnik license plates."[12]

On June 21, 2010, Ana performed at the Belgrade World Music Day celebration which was held on three stages in Serbia's capital.
