I prefer to the Albanian version...this isn't bad but not so good...The video is really terrible...
At first I either couldn't understand what she said but then it became more clear..

I won't change my vote cause I had already change it before one month to :4: so I will keep it :4: but it will stay in the semi

Don't you speak English?
Well I wouldn't say that I am a perfect english speaker, but I recognize if someone can't sing english. Sorry but it sounds terrible. . Anyway, One song more which stays in the final means, that queen Valentina is a step further to her great goal => San Marino to final

I don't know what to think... They got rid of the two best things about it - the intro and the language. I've a feeling it's gonna fail like "Feel the Passion". :(

She made it easier for A-lister to pretend it's in Albanian at least.

As excepted... one big BOOOO to the sell-outs... they should have learned from Rona but no no... well karma will show!

And what's the point having it in English if it's not even gonna sound like proper English? Wasted opportunity Albania! :?

So much for making the entry more "universally understandable", now it's more "universally laughable" xshrug

Video doesnt matter.The song is far better for Copenhagen.The delicate intro leading into her world class vocals sets the scene just right.The guitar bridge now works and it gives Herci a break to then plunge into the climax.The way she lifts the song at each stage is very clever.The backing are used less but more effective.
This will look and sound fantastic in Copenhagen.
Doubters will be burned at the stake,:lol:

Took me some time to realise this new version is supposed to be in English. Doesn't sound like English to me.

I liked the original. Such a missed chance.

I actually think that the revamps works super well and the song sounds even better than before.

I'm so disappointed, the song was so good in Albanian! Her English is awful. I hope that a (Romanian) miracle happens and Hersi will sing in Albanian in May.

I mean as far as I'm concerned the new version was also recorded in Albanian right? So they can still use the revamped one but in Albanian.

I really REALLY hope they re-consider this awful choice of language, I mean it's not even in proper English so the false pretexts of making it supposedly more understandable for those people in mostly Western and Northern Europe that understands English, makes it even more silly now because English speakers will just listen to it and shrug their shoulders of the supposed "English".
