AMAZING is not enough to describe how good it is!!
My favorite song so far, well done France!
I have to say I like it, even if the remix makes it a bit confusing.
However, the chorus is amazing, so it will do well with televote and jury as well.
My top: 1 FRANCE 2 ALBANIA 3CYPRUS 4 SWITZERLAND 5 DENMARK.
They’re all good
OMG, they really don’t want to host next year. Too bad for her. This will be another Kate Ryan. Awful 90′s Eurodance. Are they serious?
I was expecting much, much worse. I actually quite like it. It’s lively, happy and the rhythm is contagious. Well done. Albania and France are in the lead atm.
This to win ESC? Are you serious? :O This (in this video) sounds quite average to me…
I think this can win, only if year is extremely weak! And if has VERY good performance…
For me is Sluna Samay about 5 X better!
Marko, as far as I am concerned, this is not winning material, but my expectations were so low that I was positively surprised. Albania 12 is still leading by very far. It is better than the anonymous and forgettable Danish entry, imo.
Soluna’s official video is so American, it reminds me of the USA all the time I’m watching it..I think her problem in ESC will be exactl that fact, too American…French problem for results will be it’s just average pop song which can do well for Ukraine, Russia, Sweden, but for France very hard…and Albania is too strange, but politics can help it this year so I expect the best results for Albania out of chosen songs, unfortunately…
Shevek, I saw your comment about Moldova on esctoday, I noticed that Paralela 47 is very popular on YT, also Nocoleta Dara with “Open your eyes”..so they also have chance imo..etrho is always dangerous in Moldova so Doinita Gherman and Transbalcanica are there too…
My favorite is INAYA – “Lights”!
Shevek, also Irina & MC Gootsa “Save a little Sunshine” composed by Ralph siegel is by far most viewed entry from Moldovan NF on YT:
I am going to have to listen to the these 20 finalists again, before saying anything more, Marko.
And I watched Soluna’s official video today, it’s so nice!
I can’t see it doing well…
yeah, why not? I quite like it… it’s in her typical style (which I happen to like) and not bad at all…
the whistling is a good idea… and the bridge is simply fabulous…
it doesn’t kick Albania out of first place for me though…
it’s rather cheap, boring and annoying… the beginning sounds promising, but then it turns to old fashioned euro dance which is not my cup of tea at all… i don’t see it in my top 10 nor in the actual top 10 but knowing Anggun, who is quite great live, and if they do bring a full show, it could sneak in many votes like Jessy Matador did, and why not, get a fair amount of points and surprise me with a 8-12th finish… at least, I don’t think France will be bottom 5 anymore :p
so far : Albania, Denmark, Switzerland, France and Cyprus in that order, but Albania has not found a competition yet for my rankings
My first list of the season:
1. Albania
2. France
3. Denmark
4. Switzerland
5. Cyprus
1. Denmark
2. Switzerland
3. France
4. Albania
5. Cyprus
Well, we agree on the placement of one song. xD
I think the season’s gotten off to a decent start. After all, Cyprus is the only song I’m not somewhat-kinda enthusiastic about, and most of the internally selected artists have some sort of promise. I admit that Norway’s MGP is kind of a disappointment this year, but still…
catchy song, more better than la la love..lol….
she’ll rock in Baku…i’ll sure her live performance will be amazing….
Tbh, i expected more from Anggun. It’s just an average song imo. I don’t really like the beginning with that mix, it sounds a little weird to me, but i like the ending which is strong and highlights her great voice. Maybe it will grow on me …
My list so far :
1. Cyprus
2. Switzerland
3. Denmark
4. France
5. Albania
Kind of bland a little out-dated imho. Nevertheless I always have higher expectations on France and if e.g. the Danish entry had this quality I would be happy maybe. Resultswise I am uncertain – it could go either way.

Gosh!
~~ CC
Underwhelmed … 6/12
1. Albania
2. Switzerland
3. Denmark
4. France
5. La La LOL
5. La La lol ???is it correct ??
She needs a strong live perfomance now. she got the modern catchy song! anggun is beautiful, talented, she can do it for France. Promo tour won’t do much if the live perfomance is not impressive so her team and anggun should focus on that. good luck on the album too, it’s great!
I prefer ECHOE part 1 ( dream on me ) more exotic with Indonesian languange…
The song is promising, she should prepare an amazing and memorable live performance on ESC stage..
I like it. An 80′s feel going right through this song while still retaining a contemporary feel. Well done France, never afraid to send something different each year.
I’m Marko from esctoday, I know you Martin from Ireland? You maybe remember me…I really appreciated you! Hi
it doesn’t have a chance against cypre la la love <3 ivi adamou. the best song so far. cypre 12 points from iceland.i will vote you.the best cyprian entry ever…
My current listings:
1. France
2. Switzerland
3. Cyprus
4. Denmark
5. Albania
the same with me but the only difference is 1.cyprus,3.france
I like france this year.good choice.original song.my favourite for the moment.
I hate it, sorry but i just do!! i liked there 2010 and 2011 entries though!!
I m french and I think we trying every year to send something different to ESC, and I proud that we keep our language….(in the case of anggun only 20 % in english, because she wants indonesian undertand a litle). The video is not a copy of american video is a french guy who realyse (for example and for those who know our “French Madonna”video for Mylène Farmer…..(the woman singer who can sing in “stade de France” twince beetween 80 000 pers.)
My english is awful like all french people we’re not good in foreign language. But please give a chance to Anggun, she’s very simple and a good person….(Viva espana and Sweeden)
