10 points. Nice intro and very good (not great) vocals. I just feel like that the song lacks the dramatics for what it's named, and that's why I knocked off a couple of points. That is the only flaw on a otherwise very good song.

I expected a better entry, something where Esma's vocals would show their true potential. However, I still like this song. And it is growing on me with each new listening. Hopefully, the new version will be even better :D

For now 6 points.

They said that the song will be revamped! So hopefully it would be even better and more dramatic. :lol: I think it's fine the way it is, but I agree that Esma wasn't fully used.

I like the song! Not a 12, not a 10... but probably an 8 for me. Still hoping that they will be able to give it an even more interesting touch. I absolutely think this will qualify!

Well, the question of ROC and PRC is different case and can't be compared with the Macedonia case because in both sides are living Chinese people, so the question in China is a completely political issue, but Greek people are living in Greece and slavic Macedonian people in Macedonia, so Macedonian's naming issue is far more complicated, as it involves history, culture and ethnic identity. Anyway, we'd better not discuss PRC and ROC issue in this thread.

The naming issue of Macedonia has existed for decades and can't be resolved for only a day or a night, so my only worry is about withdrawals.

And, if "



then, as far as I know, 4 of 5 United Nations Permanent Members of Security Council recognize the name of the Republic of Macedonia, including the United States, and, (according to wikipedia), more than 100 countries are using the name of the Republic of Macedonia to identify the country whose capital is Skopje. We don't have the right to ask the UN to fully recognize this name, though.

It's not my intention to discuss about official names, I just name things by their official status and that's FYR Macedonia.
So far, it's used Republic of Macedonia for internal bilateral relations, but for international issues like UN Meetings, Olympic Games, even Eurovision, the official name is FYR Macedonia. Same thing with Taiwan, I mean Chinese Taipei?
As I said, all this situation about the official names are wasting of time, but what to do...let's focus on the songs. This song is horrible imo x0sx0s

Very very bad song, politically inspired. Song is not going to the finals, sorry !

Yes, that is what I hope for as well :D I expected something different and more powerful, so that is why I like this less than I expected. But the chorus is extremely catchy and I enjoy it quite a lot :D

I hope things are not changed too much. I adore it the way that it is. Perhaps the song could end with more of a bang but then I don't want it to become too cliche. I think everything is perfect now. This song is my idea of a Eurovision treat. Stuff like this is exactly why i'm drawn to Eurovision each year but this just surpassed everything else for me. I yearn for this kind of epic, ethnic shabazzle!xyes So much fun!

Although I'm not that excited by "Imperija", I agree with the substance of your argument. I think ethno-pop is the reason why I watch the ESC with such excitement and I'm disappointed at this year's offering in that respect. Except for Macedonia, Greece and Belarus, nothing. :-(

Yeah this year is such a disappointment for those of us who enjoy ethnic music, ethno-pop. I'm not even keen on the entries of Greece and Belarus either so at this time I have one song that I really like. The day ESC becomes totally westernised is probably the day i'll stop watching. I'm unsure if that day will ever come but year after year things get worse and more and more buy left overs from Sweden.. Hmmm well at least we have Bulgaria's entry this year as well to come.

Dropped my ranking from 2 to 1....this song is even worse the second time around. Ugh, why are the Ex Yugo countries so weak this year? Let's hope Serbia suprises me.

Interesting comment, considering you use the term FYROM then wouldn't you agree with them then?

The song will be fully changed, the promo tour in Bulgaria and Armenia has been cancelled.

The only reasonable explanation is that they don't have enough money to organize Eurovision in 2014 :(

Most probably there won't come better song than this :(
But I'm looking forward, maybe they will surprise us.
