I have tears. Ive waited three months for this. Absolutely breathtaking. I didnt think the orchestration could get any better but it has done. It's been perfectly brought down to three minutes. The video was poignant. With all my heart I can say that to me personally, this will be the best, most special song ever to be sung on the Eurovision stage. I can't describe how it makes me feel.

An emotional song that doesn't make awake any emotions in me. It's just not working for me. I can see the appeal in it though. Good luck Albania!

That was a very fair, well worded and understanding way of saying that the song just isnt a song for you :) Too many people just insult the song (or songs in general) without showing any thought to the fact that it may have a very strong value to others.

I have a weird feeling about this song.
On one hand, it's something i won't be listening to every day...very depressing, heavy on my heart, tear-breaking.
On the other hand, i believe it's totally genius and deserves to be appreciated. It has class, passion, innovation, it's a bit absurd and delirious at some point too, but in a good way.
The video made me stare and catch her every gesture, every note...but it leaves me with hard feelings inside when ends...maybe i will listen to it again at the dark moments of my life...thus i hope i will never hear it again after ESC 2012 is over.

Of course, I actually thought I'd like it better but for some reason it didn't click. That's a difficult song to sing so I really hope she can pull it off in May.

I certainly know what you mean. It's a very heavy song and hard to listen to for alot of people. I think people connect with Rona if they have had dark moments in their lives. Some of us (well I know I personally) have always wanted to just cry as loud as I can and let it all out but we often don't. Rona does it for us. I can't explain how the whole song makes me feel. It's the ultimate release of emotions.

I enjoyed this song a lot more when I looked at the english lyrics.

The lyrics matter so much in this song, I'm not sure if keeping it in Albanian is the best choice. They could have gotten away with keeping it in albanian the previous three years but I'd be afraid people will tune into this on the night and just see a woman oversinging the chorus. The feeling of the song will be totally lost on them.

Nooo you're so wrong. I haven't even seen english lyrics, but from the first seconds i understood that this song is a Soul Crying, i don't need to read the translation.
That's what a real song should be like, that's how a real singer should sound like, making you understand everything without words.

Surprised to read that. This is one of the songs that I find easiest to understand out of all those not in English. The girl is virtually crying on stage. I don't need to know Albanian to know it's a sad song.

The voting in this poll says I'm not entirely wrong.

Not everybody is going to understand what you understand.
