  1. it’s ok ish, but macedonia always chears people said he’d win for months just like so many years before… but it was only an ok final and this was indeed among the better ones, but i doubt macedonia is any contender for esc 2011 now

    This is not a very good choice for Macedonia imo. Although their NF was poor overall there were some songs better and more worthy then this one. I don’t think they will qualify in the final with this song.

    It wasn’t worth watching it. Over the years there are worse and worse songs. I hope that the next year we won’t participate. It is just wasting money for nothing. Plus everyone is addressing us with the boring FYR. It is too much for the Macedonians. So, the politics will be on this ESC too. So gear up, cheer for your neighbor and hope that your neighbor is going to be the winner.

  4. Just horrible. God… The song might be ok, but that voice… I guess it’s supposed to be raspy-rocky-edgy but for me it’s just bad…

    Another male singer sounding like he has a sore throat, nothing different. Could have been any former Yugoslavian song from the 1980′s.This a’int good.

  6. I think this will end up just like Macedonia 2010, it’s just as bad as that one was.

  7. This song has the worst ratings in the poll of any country.. Not one person gave it 5 points yet…

  8. Goran A. says:

    That is because of the lack of inspiration for the authors. Perhaps we should take a break a few years and then make the come back and win :) ))

  9. Alex says:

    what do they bother sending a song for Eurovision? they keep picking crap entries.

    Ok, so this is garbage and really amateurish, totaly in keeping with the tradition of FYRoM in the contest…But I have to say it’s pretty enjoyable garbage, perfect to watch when you’re drunk with your friends watching the final.

    Or, in this case probably the semi-final :-)

  11. i really can’t see macedonia in the final at all
