I'm sad Montenegro didn't pass through the final. They can take Lithuania's place anyday.

I'm pretty disappointed this didn't make it. Easily the best show of the night and the vocals were great as well. I hoped till the last minute this would qualify. Sigh :( But kudos to Montenegro for being brave and bringing something different to Eurovision. This will be one of the 4 songs that will stay on my playlist after ESC, contrary to all the other boring cheesy ballads that no one listens to in "real world" anyway.

I don't think anybody expect this to qualify but I was sad nevertheless. It wasn't a great song but I can't lie about the fact that I really liked the live performance. I'm curious if the televoters liked it. Hopefully Montenegro will not give up though I don't know if they really expected to do well with this.

So sad. This is not only a shame for Montenegro, it's a shame for the contest as well. Honestly, there were 10 places to fill. Belgium indeed!

I don't think it was the juries doing alone anyway. Eurovision fans as a whole are just as conservative.

So was I... :oops: But I would have been just as equally sorry for Anouk :(

Still, she didn't seem to put a whole lot of effort into her performance, while they did.

All I can say is I'm glad this mess didn't make it. A quite predictable fail though :)

I agree with everything here, except that Montenegro was better than Lithuania. I disliked Lithuania, but Montenegro was by far the worst IMO :lol:

And of course modern does not equal good, I like modern music, but Montenegrin entry was just awful. We should give it an award for being "modern"? I could let my cat pressing some buttons and compose a better "song" than this one, this will be modern? :lol:

And the Cypriot entry was boring same old ballad that every country seems to bring where is the originality/modern entry like the Montenegrin entry it's not number 1 for nothing on the Blakan MTV charts for nothing and im not being biased because that is my background....

Most Eurovision journalists I talked to expected this to qualify. It actually came as a (positive) shock to me that it didn't.

I had high hopes for Montenegro. Is is one of the only songs for this year i keep in my ipod,
the other songs are too cheesy that when the contest ends i wont remember em anymore.
They deserved more to qualify than the awful :by: with its dated cheap latin song, if this song is sent by
:ru:, they will qualify. Thsi shows that the juries hate different entries and also the public prefers more ballad or pop friendly tunes 100% on english.

Anyway i congratulate the Montenegrin broadcaster for providing such different entries year after year. Hope they dont give up and continue participating.

Montenegro should let Nina represent them ALONE...sorry but the rappers spoiled the entire entry. Rap in Eurovision has not succeed yet because rappers haven't been so good.

I love the song and I've got the feeling Montenegro could've qualified without the space-suits. It all seemed a bit over the top, and from what I've gathered from non-ESC-fan fora, the reaction could pretty much be summed up to: "wtf?" No one could look past the visual delivery of the song, and that's a huge problem 'cause they were all terriffic. I just wish they had performed the song more close to what we saw in the music-video.

As much as I love the montenegrin entry I'm afraid they outplayed themselves.

Montenegro stays Montenegro and, as NoName said, they went too far in the ridiculous outfits.

Plus, I agree with cegs5 that the rappers are responsible for this song's failure, not the music nor the female singer. Montenegro was one of my favourites when it came out, but the rap part gets old extremely fast and now I understand why this couldn't possibly qualify.

Oh my dears! I have always supported you but space suits no!!!!! I agree that montenegrin rap is rather tough to pass but Nina was a really plus and the song is nice and remins in the head. Video is so cool, why change it!! Same of what I wrote about Moje 3... why to change when video looking was sooooo ok?? Anyhow, space suits apart, I enjoyed you!! Next year just Nina!!!

I'm quite surprised this didn't make it. And very disappopinted too :lol: I even voted for it. It seems rap will never go anywhere in Eurovision, and it's not because it's not suitable for ESC, I think it's because it doesn't appeal to the viewing audience.

Yes, they should send her next year with a Swedish written dated cheese ballad about peace in English... then they'll qualify for sure ;)

Seriously though, ESC is in a big trouble when the only entry that sounds like it comes from the 10's fails to qualify, while only the same old safe dated stuff manages. There's no credibility in a contest where stuff like the Russian and Lithuanian entries can qualify and this can fail, and we're suppose to be in 2013... yeah right...
