It's really strong 
A hard song with dance elements, i hope it would not have the same destiny Evridiki's song had in 2007. I give it 10 points.

just because no one placed 0 ?
That didn't hurt, but it's mostly because of how pissed this song makes me. I worship at the altar of pop music, and very few musical phenomena upset me more than to see pop musicians so ashamed of the music they make that they feel the need to add in a rock element or two.

She would have qualified if there was a two Semi system so I'm hopeful. Minus One's song has televote and jury appeal, at least that's what I expect to happen.
Minus One are not mainstream Pop musicians though. If anything, they added a more pop feel to their song.

Okay, let's say I'm wrong, and that they are a rock band. That doesn't make it any better. Why are they so embarrassed to be a rock band that they felt the need to add pop elements to it? I don't know if they're pop or rock, but whatever they are, all I get from this song is that they hate themselves for it.
?? First you criticized them fore being a Pop band trying to do Rock. Now you're complaining that they should stick to their Rock roots rather than making Pop music that you said you admire. It's okay to not like a song, but at least be consistent in your criticism. We all know why it's done, to have a more universal appeal. I mean it's a Thomas G:son produced song, that's something we should have expected.

This song is just bad... and this is just yet another one big artificial hype which will fall flat come May, similarly how it happened with the similar Belarussian entry last year.

But this is consistent criticism. I love pop music, and I love rock music, but I hate when a group is too scared to be one that they have to cushion themselves in the other. They set out to make either a pop song or a rock song. Great. But if they were fond of whichever genre they chose, they wouldn't have felt the need to add in either the art of rock music (which they failed to add anyway but clearly tried) or the accessibility of pop music (which they also failed to add anyway but clearly tried).
I disagree that it's a problem that they have elements of both pop and rock, but completely understand where you're coming from. I think they have melded the two genres well and produced a really great song. For me, it definitely tends closer to rock than pop (it verges on what I like to call "Robert Rock" c.f. Identitet, We Are The Heroes and half of Mike Oldfield's collection) but it works. It's easy to see how for some it won't!

I was liking it but then the chorus disappointed me
I agree, nice verses, but the chorus is terrible.
