Best Balkan/oriental entry?

[Fluke]

Naturally in a year of greater-than-usual variety of ethnic styles and languages, there is also a higher than usual amount of entries with distinctive balkan/oriental rhythm or vocal style. They are of course also quite different from each other, and not directly competing against each other, but which of them do you think does it best?

So it is decided, and not quite the one i expected.

And i don't think Cyprus belongs at all, it's just generic pop to me. Being somewhat syncopated doesn't make it Balkan or oriental to me, though it is still a very stereotypical greek/cypriotic entry, and crap.

love how your opinion on a song being crap or not makes the definition of the stylistic of the song... but hey it's your poll so whatever floats your boat... as much as it's also a Pop song (not a crappy one, but that's subjective), it is built on those rhythms, you don't hear those tunes in other "generic Pop songs" in the contest like for instance , ,
