There is something good about this, but... it just doesn't really work all that well. I'll give it a 5.

Ghmmmm...3 points only for the ethnic elements.
It was promising when started, i liked the guy's voice and his part, then the ethnic part, my socks were on and ready to be knocked off, but then the chorus started...===> xshock
That is how you turn a song with huge potential into cheap cheese only with few lines and notes...:(

This is exactly how I felt. Good song ruined by an obvious, easy, eurovision by numbers chorus. It might have been a clever move though, as many will like it because of the chorus, while others will like it in spite of it's existence. Still, more exciting than most lameness chosen so far.

No, it has nothing about that. It basically says that the music is an empire! :D

The clip is crowded with imperial architecture examples. Collunated buildings, golden statuary, great arches, you name it.

It's a bit too much of everything. I like the ethnic parts but the pop parts I don't. 5 points.

I like this though it does get generic in the chorus. However the duo together look weird. Aside the fact that she could be his granny, her outfits make her look like some drag queen!!

8 points. Could sweep the Balkan votes with the absence of Bosnia & Herzegovina (and with Croatia being less 'voter-friendly')

I can't believe it got 18 12's... 1 point from me, just because I respect both artists.

I don't think there's any rule stating that duets should be sung by people in the same age range. Why shouldn't grannies sing with their grandsons, if they like? This is not even a love song FGS. And even if it were.

Her diva like garments suit her very well, as I understand she's some sort of diva in her home country. Drag queens and travestis tend to immitate this style, not the other way around.

I like this entry. I think I like the woman and the video more than the song itself though. Well done FYRM.

Should I feel guilty for LOVING this song so much?
Deeply hope they will make it to the final!

The video was shot in Macedonia, and honestly it looks grand. It fits the title of the song, but I guess people really like to look for a needle in a haystack.
