I'm sorry but I can't understand what magic this has. I hope you guys won't kill me but for me it is in the last place of the final. I use to like the darkness in the songs as I liked in "No One","Work Your Magic","Wild Soul" etc but not here. I expected much more cause it is Russia. I though that after losing much points they would try to send something awesome to make Europe say "WOW". After all it is the country that had send Believe (2004),Never Let You Go,Believe(2008),Mamo,Lost and forgotten with the most of them being in my all time top 20. Also many good pop songs as 2007 and 2011. I really need back the old good pop awesome Russia which I love.

Kontopoulos totally killed the girls. I used to like his songs a lot but this is too sweety and quick made... he could have wrote a much mire better song cause it is obvious that the girls can sing very well. But the song it bad. I hope that the performance will save them. Although I'm sure that Evangelinos will find out a great idea about the song the people will start the trolling and they will say that they took votes only cause of the staging as they do almost every year.

From the other hand I should like the song cause it made by exactly the same people who had made "Hold Me" but it is clear that they had much more time then and ideas. This is back to old decades. But it is obvious that it is not Hold Me (even you consider it better or worse it is not). It is not about the voices cause I can't be fair here but as songs I gave 5/10 at this and 10+/10 at the other....

I'm really confused now :confused:

Don't be confused dear greece xkiss :), just listen to them how sincere they perform this entry, what a simplicity, yeah old fashioned, but such a charm, simplicity, melancholy, smth different, special, innovative..just look at their official video and you will feel that somehow strange, but special AMAZING vibe.. :)

U see [MENTION=9441]RainyWoods[/MENTION], our AMAZING and dearly loved user - greece, is on the right way, she just needs one bulb from the video to start shining in full. :xlove :) And she is very important, if she is on the right way, to ADORE this extremely charming entry, whole Greece will love it..she is not with that nick for no reasons, she represents whole Greece actually! I think Greece will fall for this AMAZING entry in the end and give the highest points..one composer of this masterpiece is Greek and I THANK him (and to other members of the team of course) for giving us this GEM! xbow

This has EVERYTHING in it, RnB elements, rock elements, ballad elements, it has melancholy, it has a power, it's everything you can wish and done in such sophisticated way..

This entry actually likes in many people here and almost all who are inerested about ESC has got it in the final. Many even in their top 10. I can't promise :12: but I'm sure that if the people vote for their fave song don't for out neighboors it will get some points from us in the Final.
Now about me. After listeing a couple of times again I can say that it maybe don't deserves the last place in the final in my top and maybe something more than :3: in the poll. The positive is that in the end I have the same feelings that I have and in my fave Never Let You Go...it let me a melancholy and nostalgy but not in the same level of course. But I always had high standarts for :ru: cause it is my fave country in and out of ESC and I expect the best song every year. The two last years I'm kinda dissapointed. I like this more but it is the same occasion. Great singers with okay songs. If it was the Russian version it would have been much more higher cause language helps a lot especially the Russian (Belorussian,Ukrainian,Serbian etc which are similar). I can't say that I dislike it I actually like it but not a lot...It is a good entry. It maybe grown on me as almost every ballad which I find ok but I'm still really confused about Russia this year...

And rotating light on the stage, I wish they use it in Copenhagen! And choreographer who made that part (from 02:15, or from 01:26) should be their ESC choreographer IMO! xbow
