That jury performance was hopeless. Esma is a liability.

If the song would be only Lozano's part I 'd like it....but that lady screaming spoil the whole song, I don't really care if she's got awards and Nobel Prize nomination or if she feeds poor children...I just don't like her screaming and find it kind of annoying.

Actually, I like this song and wouldn't mind to see it in the final. But just if people like, not because many ex-Yugos are angry about yesterday and will vote for Macedonia no matter why.

I say this because I've read some people asking for votes just for revenge.

I'm very sorry for Vlatko. This seems one of these school projects where one person does the things properly and the other one ruins everything (Esma :oops:). This would be somehow good if Esma wasn't there...

I have not seen the 2nd dress rehearsal but in the first one Lozano actually messed up a bit at the beginning. His timing was all off the first verse. Maybe had sound troubles? I thought Esma was great here though. I love the cheers/laughter from the audience as Esma arrivesxrofl2

The jury rehearsal went really well. I just don't understand why people say it wasn't good. Even in the hall people kept saying it was amazing. I heard the jury rehearsal bunch of times and Esma sounded well!! :) I guess it comes down to whether people like or dislike her (how to put this now, hmm) enriched voice (it's not 1-dimensional that's for sure). :lol:

as for the 1st dress rehearsal, yeah RainyWoods - Vlatko actually had some technical problems and that is why he sounded a bit off.

I don´t see this song in the finale. I like the parts, when he sings alone, but not together. But who knows, if they are charismatic on stage, all can happen.

Re: FYR MACEDONIA 2013

Four of the five ex-Yugoslav nations taking part in this ESC were in Tuesday's semi-final 1, and all were knocked out! That just leaves F.Y.R. Macedonia to perform tonight. In which case, who have they got to vote for them? Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia and Montenegro won't be voting tonight. Maybe Albania (which is not as far as I'm aware an ex-Yugoslav country, but some still see as Balkan) might vote for F.Y.R. Macedonia. Who else will though?

As far as I'm concerned, "Pred da se razdeni" is not my cup of tea. Some bits aren't bad, but there's a substantial portion that I really hate. I'd rather this stays out of the final.

If it stays out, there'll be no ex-Yugoslav countries in this year's final. Last night I looked back through ESC history, and from my initial investigation (I might do it more thoroughly before Saturday) every year from 2004 to 2012 (during which there was at least 1 semi-final) there were at least 2 ex-Yugoslav countries in the final. Prior to that, 1993 to 2003 (the pre semi-final years in which they had the ex-Yugoslav countries entered as independent countries) there were at least two per year on the Saturday night.

In the Yugoslavia era, Yugoslavia entered annually 1986 to 1992 inclusive. Thus if F.Y.R. Macedonia fail to qualify tonight, this Saturday will be the first Saturday night of the ESC without Yugoslavia or any of its deriviative independent nations since 1985.

I don't know why but I got the feeling that FYR Macedonia will qualify...I hope I'm wrong!

I'm convinced that this will be THE moment of Eurovision 2013. I'm so excited. You just don't know whats going to happen with Esma. It's like buying a box of fireworks from a newsagent.

I like Lozano's parts the best and wish it was performed by him alone, but Esma isn't as awful as I thought when I first heard the song, so I hope it'll make it. I'd vote for it if I could. :(

I'm really curious how this will work with the juries and the televoters. I imagine it could be anywhere from top 3 to bottom 3.
Exciting!

But part of their diaspora (Switzerland, Norway, France or Germany) can vote tonight. That's why some Balkans were calling to vote everyone for Macedonia.
