8 days without any single post in this thread? xwhat

Are you surprised about it? This is just a non-song. Nothing remarkable or significative about it, in any way

I am not surprised by your opinion about the song. But yes, considering all the support expressed in the poll above (and in the Ranking Game), the lack of posts in the thread really surprised me.

The thread needs posts after the 1st semifinal not before

Btw an interview with escKaz in Moscow.

Good to see that someone with experience is going to be in charge of their performance. Hopefully it's something good! Any idea as to which performances she's choreographed for the contest before, though? There are some great performances and some terrible ones in ESC's history, so it's a bit hard to judge how hyped I should be when I don't know what she's been involved with.

I thought that was the case as well, but after re-reading the article I'm not so sure. It mentioned she's done choreography for Loreen, and that she's also done individual performances at Eurovision, but it didn't specifically say she'd choreographed Loreen's winning performance of Euphoria. Or are you going off another source?

Great performance by Cyprus at Eurovision in Concert.

Not better than maNga of course but it's still really good. I give this 8 points

I'm still considering this song as one of the most overrated songs this year by the fans, probably the second most overrated immediately after Estonia. This is more like Turkey 2011 rather than Turkey 2010, actually. Besides, I still think that this group is very uncharismatic, and the lead singer has showed that he can't sing live.

Yep, listening to this song is very boring. Every single note is a déjà vu of past songs, and I can immediately guess what it comes next. Unoriginal and heard million of times before. It reminds me of those songs that Gabry Ponte used to do back in 2000

This version of the song is good

To be perfectly honest, I didn't really care for Cyprus' wolf graphics. They were playing around with it, it looked a little different every time they rehearsed. I don't mind the cages and Francois sounds great but to me it's more like a Music Video. Now that is just my personal opinion, but I don't think that cutting away from the Stage to show a clip of a wolf running around should be allowed, it's a live performance and that's not really part of that. I'm sure there will be people who like it but I'm not one of them. I have a feeling there will be additional changes come Thursday. That being said, the guys are a lot of fun and I enjoyed talking to them. They actually were hanging out at Euro Club last night, down to earth guys and I have only good things to say about them and the song. I'm just not crazy about what I saw today but as said, there is a good chance that I'm going to be in the minority.

I can't believe they're allowing Cyprus to have those wolf shots like in the music video. To me that just disrupts the concept of live performance.

Cages... or not cages? ...
