North Macedonia FYR MACEDONIA 2018 - Eye Cue - Lost and Found

[CPV4931]

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.

Just wanted to write the same :-) When "Lost and Found" has been released, I found it ok, but after some listening, it is about to reach my top 10, especially because of the chorus.

I don't understand, sorry..

Meaning they would have to be surely in the jury's top8 lets say..

Maybe break the taboo of actually qualifying before we become animals ?

It's a nice song, not what I meant tho.

 

[hijirio]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!
However, it took 2 weeks for me to warm up to this.

Dance Alone had an instant appeal and it didn't go much further last year.
I think this will also end up 11,12th in SF.

Criminally underrated country
Both at ESC and JESC.

I really don't know what is wrong................

 

[DanielLuis]

The song is great, I really love it! The reggae elements don't feel forced and the guitar and chorus are very catchy.
It definitely has a shot at qualifying. Hopefully it'll get a good draw.
Let's just pray together for one thing: MKRTV, please don't f**k up the staging again

 

[FreeFair]

The Juries should rank this highly even if the televoters don't. They should more easily be able to appreciate the musical craft & the way it flows between different genres, being industry professionals. This has my 6 points in SF1 rankings.

 

[Himan]

Is there a stage version somewhere? That's what I really want to base things on especially with Macedonia, where that went wrong sometimes. Like the song more than last year though. Didn't put that in the final even before the show.

 

[ESCada]

They performed in a magazine award show yesterday, it wasn't televised but there is a video of a little snippet somewhere on FB.
Marija sounded great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ESCada]

And here it is, dodgy video recording from the audience but still.

Then chorus is nice indeed. But the rest is not alluring enough for me to vote for them. :?

 

[Mimi]

I absolutely love this song... the choruses especially.

I was wondering how good it could be if they decided to keep the whole song reggae style.

 

[VikingTiger]

I really feel bad for Macedonia. 1 single final out of their 10 last attempts. I do get why they havent qualified though - none of the non-qualifying entries has been a big surprise when failing. I admire them for still taking part and trying.
After really having changed my mind on Lost and Found I really would love to see Macedonia in the Grand Final again. But being in the first semi I think this may be very hard to achieve. I am keeping my fingers crossed - but preparing for yet another year without hearing the Macedonian entry on the Saturday...nothing to do bu wait and see...

 

[Charly]

I honestly lost count of how many times I played Lost and Found

 

[DanielLuis]

I am pulling so so hard for this to qualify. I just really hope the staging doesn't disappoint! Otherwise, I will definitely vote for Macedonia in the semi-final!

As long as they stage it fine il be voting for this from the UK in the semi.Its three songs,but its also a really good entry from a genuine group.Its a shame it wasnt in semi 2 though as its going to be really tough to qualify.

Three backing vocalists revealed.

Antonija Gigovska, Dina Jashari and Valeri Dimovska.

6 people on stage quota fulfilled.

Problem is that every year fans are excited with entry but almost always result is dissapointing! And now they are unlucky that they are on SF1!

This is quite impressive!
Is Dina Jashari Albanian, where is she from in Macedonia? From which town?
