body in Bulgaria, heart in Greece (^_^)
Too bad that Bulgaria is not in the same semi with Croatia. I see bulgarian people actually liking and calling for that. So as the bulgarian jury :D
Shame :(

Come on people, just try to UNDERSTAND the meaning of those words (refrain of the song):


CELEBRATE every single step you take
(man, (woman) be HAPPY, because you are still alive, you are here today)
Stop the world for a moment
(try not to think about all the bad things happen around you and try to forget your daily routine for a second at least),
shine like a comet, nothing can stop you now
(just be HAPPY, nothing in the world and nobody can forbid it to you)

Optimistic and cheerful song and lyrics, that's what we all need today! Don't you think so? Why always the same, heartbreaking and spent texts about never realized love, "he or she left me and now I am unhappy blah blah... and I will do this or that"....blah blah and similar? I think that was enough listening such texts and songs every single year!

I was afraid we gonna get even worse lyrics and that happened :( Thanks for ruining the song for me.

But as someone said most ESC songs have sucky lyrics, so I guess we are ok after I heard other countries :lol:

I didn't think anyone would dare to use the title celebrate since the 0-pointer in the semi in 2004.. :p My thought was omg not another celebrate song... this will be bad.. lol

But I'm sure this will do a bit better...;)

The revamped instrumental is good, but I HATE what they did to the lyrics! The Croatian lyrics were pleasantly melancholic if cheesy; the first English version was, well, ODD to say the least but had some charm to it and might have actually stood out on the stage in Dusseldorf; now we get this bland nonsense about putting your HANDS UP! and comets in musical galaxies. Yuck.

They should send the revamped Croatian version instead.

Gosh why do countries never learn? Cheesy English lyrics is not the way to go. I want more countries follow Poland's example this year.

Yes yes yes!

Croatian version please! I can't listen to this version without completely cringing. It's sooo cheesy!

I think Croatia's and Hungary's song are quite similar. And I like Hungary's song much more. This one is not a bad song and I can't say that I don't like, but something is missing. 4 points.

^ Maybe better lyrics are missing? :lol: I also like Hungary's song more :cool:

Anyway, I like our song, but I would give it 8 points now not 12. I find "Break a leg" better :p

I thought this was OK until I hit the cringe fest that is the chorus. Like something from Sesame Street

I'm listening to "Lahor" as I type. I CAN stand this song, this version is actually good. It's weird how the language can change my view of the song. I guess it's just me, but I find it more energetic and more fresh.

Just listened to the new version and i'm dissapointed..Sounds a little messy now with new added instruments/sounds...it doesnt work for me and i can see this staying in the semi now. Too bad, really.

OK Now I will say, after I saw many comments here and on the main page:

Maybe we won't qualify for a final this year.
But I also hope that all, who bash our song only because they don't like ANYTHING from us and ANY SONG we ever choose and send to ESC (I know there are many people here who think so, they just don't want to see us in final in any case, maybe they would even like for us to withdraw....and because of the reasons only they know why), I really hope that their favourites will also flop this year. So, go ahead and build your stupid happiness and joy as long as you can. Take your time now, until the semi-finals begin! Hypocrites!
