And to the person who said that this got votes from Finland due to language. By that logic you could say that Moldova will get points from Spain due to the language in the final.
It has nothing to do with the language, but with diaspora. Moldova will receive points from Spain because there are many Romanians in Spain, (Moldovans are also Romanians) but Hungarians don’t have a strong diaspora in Finland. So if Finnis vote for Hungary it means they liked the song, they not vote because of the language. I will not vote for Italy only because Italian language is very similar to Romanian , I have to like their song :)

Feeling better now that you wrote it all down? Good. ;)

I am, thank you ever so much.

<<<Errrr>>>. wrong answer. His manager entered him to a hungarian competition. Alex didn't feel ready yet, to go on stage. FYI

Well I don't think that's really any kind of excuse for him. What kind of manager does he have that goes entering him into the big, shiny spectacle that is Eurovision? Possibly the wrong one for him? Couldn't he have just said "no" if he wasn't ready?


I suppose I need to look at this in a brighter light. It's nice that something so simple and understated can pass through to the final. I feel there were about 5 more deserving songs lost last night though.

Reeeally happy Alex qualified, I love his song, even though live performance did not convinced me 100%!

I'm happy this one went through for these reasons:

1) It's a nice little song, easy listening, and I had worries the ESC voters wouldn't notice it because it's "boring" for a live show. But it showed that simplicity between many "funfairs" we've seen in semi 2 paid well.

2) Hungary usually sings in English, first time after long time they dared to send something in Hungarian, and that's an additional reason I wanted it to go through, so next year they'll be encouraged to sing in Hungarian again.

3) It's so non-ESC-ish song at all, I'm happy when such songs receive recognition in ESC.

Not sure... I does well on Itunes... It can surprises us, all the more as Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia does'nt have any other neighbour/community left, plus this kind of music can please Northerns, and so on... It may do better than Compact Disco and Kati ! :)

The melody of this song is just brilliant, magic.

If I had to pick 1 song to send a vote for tonight it would be this one.

I think it was quite sad that it made it to the final.. Though the song and performance suits him very well, I'm very bored when watching it :(
