It's a pretty song. It was boring at first, but from the second listen, she gets a nod from me. Well done, Azerbaijan.

I agree Sabina is a good singer and she is cute, but the song is below average. I guess the Swedes got lazy and decided to sell a reject song... :D

Who named the song "When the Music Dies?" Really?! Don't you find that strange for a hosting country?

Exactly my sentiment about the title and Sabina.

I got curious about the mentioned national instruments and did a research, because I know kamancha is an Iranian string instrument, but I have never heard of "balaban."

... Well, apparently "balaban" is what they call Armenian duduk in Azerbaijan. :)

Ok it feels weird know cuz for me this is the best Azerbaijani entry ever. Maybe just because i was always platonically in love with 'Stop' by Sam Brown and this one reminds me that a lot. I just hope not to see hardcore Azerbaijani entry commercials all around the web otherwise i can hate this song as fast as Safura run from the catwalk to the main stage in the grand final.

Balaban is balaban. It has similarity with duduk yet a different musical instrument

Another Azeri entry that is better than the song they won with. I actually like this a lot, if she can sing it well maybe we'll stay in Baku for another year! :D

I think people are judging this song extremely harshly, mainly because Azerbaijan won last year. I think this is an excellent ballad. One of the best solo female ballads at this year's ESC. Maybe only Spain is stronger than this.

Better that Running Scared definately. But it´s starting to be boring listening the same tune from Azerbaijan year after year. I wish they could change musical style for next years and not produce more Drip Drops and at least sing in azeri once, where is the confidence????.

Actually this is the song I expected from Sabina...Great voice + national musical instruments on the backstage...Sabina will definitly sing it very good in the final...I'm a ballad person, so this song really suits my taste very much. And of course we don't have plans to win again, so don't judge us strictly :)

First I gave it 5 points. But I'm totally addicted to this song now. I wish I could change my points. But only important thing is to support it when ESC Final is on :)
I hope Azerbaijan will place theirselves in Top 15.
