FYR MACEDONIA 2012 - Kaliopi - Crno i belo

[aletem]

They should definitely remove that annoying electric guitar. + Add more violins and string instruments and it is a sure qualifier.
But as someone mentioned I doubt they will change anything.

I'm sure they might read the forum and it would be nice if they do it. After all, we all want this to do as great as possible.

pod hitno mora dase preraboti pesnava posto bez prateci vokali i slaba produkcija zvuci kako demo snimka !!!

Well done, Macedonia! 8 points form me.
The song gets better and better, but I hope, it won´t be translated into English.

 

[Toni]

Here is the English version of the song

 

[Miguel]

Yeah, I just heard the english version and I came here to say what I think.

I love both versions. Macedonian language is pretty. I just hope they send the Macedonian version to Eurovision. I will use that version until further confirmation.
This was actually a surprise from Macedonia. I wasn't expecting something that good. That live performance was not convincing, but when I heard the studio version I fall in love with the song. It's a great pop-rock tune. It can do well, since none of the other entries are like this one.

Good luck, macedonian budies.

A big pile of meh, sorry Macedonia. 2 points as it's not unlistenable

So, true! Kaliopi's song is a bit meh! I guess the response to this black and white. Love or hate

I don't think it's a love-or-hate song! Many people think that it's just ok, nothing special.

She can do vocally a lot better than this, mark my words. And yes it will be on Macedonian. Now let's hope that Portugal will pick a good song.

meeeeeeh... nothing special

 

[Deleila]

I like this song very much :

 

[Isabella]

I like both versions so don't care a lot if she sings in Macedonian or English
Honestly, just like with Nina, I expected more, but this is very good and I gave it 12 points. It's Kaliopi and she can't have something bad

EDIT: Have they already decided it will be in Macedonian?

I sort of agree, I would personally like it more, but it will make it a bit bland too. It's probably just me, but when I think of Macedonian songs (the few that I know), I think of rock songs. So, in my mind, Macedonia and rock goes together just like burger and fries

Yes. It was decided a long time ago.

I like Macedonian version more

Haha really? To me Macedonian music is all about R'n'B!

Me too!

Well, I guess he refers to their previous ESC entries, they sort of showed themselves as a "rock nation" to Europe, and since most people may not be aware about their local scene, they believe what represents then in ESC might be an indication of it.

See, this is why it's important to choose something that actually represents the countries, otherwise there will be misunderstandings like these

 

[r3gg13]

Of course, people in the region would know more about it . Tis why I prefaced my statement

Though, I think that Macedonia has been sending diverse set of songs all of which are very decent, save Elena Risteska's song. After listening to Crno i belo for a few more times, I can't really appreciate it. Though to its credit, it's not crap or anything like that.

Really? That's wonderful news. But how do you know it's on Macedonian? I'm not so sure, because there is an English version too.
And thanks. I hope so.
