I'm a bit speechless @ the English version. It doesn't flow well at all. This is just another case where an artist forcefully tries make an English version of something that is already good, usually ending in linguistics that are either too simplistic or too complex, as a result of trying to use correct English grammar etc.
The musical dimension should always dominate in a song, not the semantics/grammar etc. department.

I also feel that Maya's knowledge of the English (just the database of words that she knows) is a bit limited (I assume that she's written the English lyrics herself).

Good that she will be singing the Bosnian version.

I have to agree, the English version doesn't sound as natural, and doesn't have the flow that the Bosnian version has. Well, I'm happy she's singing the Bosnian version because that one is spectacular :D

good for you Mickey.. now go back to your Romania, Cyprus, Greece or Sweden. I am sure there is more "quality" over there

I think English version is good too. This grew on me a lot and I gave 10 points in the end :)

Oooh, I like the Italian version :p. There are just 2 or 3 moments where I think it shouldn't be like that, but overall it flows much much better than the English version.
Good effort from Maya and her team, very nice result. xdance

But I'm still glad she will perform the Bosnian version, it's still, hands down, the best....

Poprilično dobar prevod pjesme, al dok pjeva osjeti se "naš" akcent, nema lakoće i ležernosti u izričaju (ne odvaja slogove na pravom mjestu i pjeva kao da je jučer izašla sa kursa talijalnskog jezika) pa mi je bosanska verzija bolja.
Al još uvijek jako volim ovu pjesmu.

Useless...it leaves nothing...I can't neither say it's boring, because it's not. What happened to BiH?? They used to have great entries!!
