To me they sound similar. It‘s like the whole song based on that Estonian song. Rhythm, instruments, just slighty different melody. I really liked that Estonian song, still sad it didn‘t qualify, but dancing and singing at the same time doesn’t work that well.

 

[Stiven]

I downgraded to 0 Points. This is such a Non-Song. I miss the good old Times when Macedonia took the Contest serious.

You do realise the only reason that song was sent to Eurovision was because his father rigged the NF.
How on earth is that taking the contest seriously?

Estonia didn't have any guitar solo, Estonia didn't have reggae, Estonia didn't have a band on stage .......... Tanja was trying to be Loreen while Eye Cue are certainly NOT.

No, I didnt know. But in the end, it was good he did that because its macedonias best entry.

This comes from a guy with Elina as avatar pic, who is 500% pure quality and epicness. On the other hand you say this mediocre song with a shit of a performance (and I won't even start to explain why it's in all "top20 worst performances on eurovision" videos on youtube) is the best thing that ever came from Macedonia? If you're serious about this, then in this case, your nickname sounds bit ironic to me.

To ME they sound similar. You can explain why they aren't as much as you want, this won't change my opinion. I am getting reminded of Estonia every time I try to listen to Macedonia and it's just a gut instinct - I don't like it. Simple, no explanation needed.

I mean I don't care much whether someone likes a song or not, you can hate it if you want .... I'm just pointing out that that's like saying "Toy" sounds like "Oro".

Cheap copy of Estonia 2014. don’t like.

 

[Kaz]

I can’t help but wonder - could this song have been one of the Bulgarian rejects?

All the descriptions match this song perfectly.

 

[DanielLuis]

That might very well be the case!

I respect the support Macedonia has this year again, because this is a really solid entry and they really have something awesome going on the last 2 years? "Dance Alone" was my clear number one last year before the semi I definetly don't love this one as much but I love the vibe of it and I love that they've brought quality again and taken a risk to send something more interesting ... even if it's taken me a while to start liking the chorus because it just sounds too Eurovision-ified in a way compared to the rest of the song and really doesn't fit imo (and the whole thing does sound kind of directionless, I can understand why people are bothered by the different parts mixed together aspect) ... I am still quite disappointed by it, but I can actually listen to this song the whole way through now and enjoy it But I'm concerned if they'll make it through still, this doesn't feel like a song that really works at Eurovision ... unless they bring really awesome staging, but welp, knowing Macedonia that might be too much to ask for

 

[Muovivalas]

Combining different genres feels a bit strange, but this one is actually such a grower! At first I wasn't really bothered with it, but after a few listens the chorus really got through to me. Great stuff! The reggae-feel still is quite awkward, but never mind, the chorus is catchy enough to make up for that. A solid 8, would've been 10 if it was in Macedonian.

If this was on SF2 it would be an easy qualification but in the SF1 things are getting difficult!

I was just about to say the same thing. This would fly through in SF2 but right now it's an uphill battle for them though I think it's definitely within the realm of possibility.

 

[joao]

I think this can easily qualify. However they really need to have a good stage presentation and we all know Makedonia lacks that. Dance Alone could have been top 10 in the final but in the way it was presented it was just not good! :s

 

[Realest]

This Song cant qualify, nomatter in which semi it competes. It will get the usual guaranteed Points as always ( ) that macedonia never can not get and exactly none else.

I absolutely love this song, I hate reggae, like really but this mixed with that awesome chorus, it's flavorful !
Hope they could show their song in the final. That won't win but they really deserve a spot in the final
