North Macedonia FYR MACEDONIA 2016 - Kaliopi - Dona

[julien4ESC]

It is very very bad, maybe the worst song of the year... I'm so sad for this edition 2016, there are a lot of old-fashioned songs.

ZERO POINT !

 

[GermanBango]

I want a Donut right know ... dunno why though xshifty

 

[VikingTiger]

What a big let-down... Yes - Kaliopi is a great singer, I love her voice - and whe will sure lift this song.
But the song itself? Dona, dona, dona, dona.... dona, dona dona, dona, dona...

I really should love this; A great voice of the kind I prefer; a bit harsh and rough at the edge, a ballad, non-english... But even though I can see this is a quality product, not a thing is felt in my heart. My top 10 remains unchanged, unfortunately.

 

[Nikkita]

This is a beautiful ballad and i'm sure she'll slay us in semifinal, but i don't think this song has the power Crno i Belo had.

 

[WhoKnows]

Love it. It's more instant than CiB.

 

[aardvark]

The song is not as good as I expected, but omg this woman's voice! She can sing yankee-doodle and I will probably still get goosebumps.
Even with a song that I would otherwise loathe, Kaliopi gets my total approval.

I prefer this to "Crno i belo" actually...lyrics of this entry are fantastic to me..and i feel such a melancholy..the one you can't recognize evidently, that is actually the best type of melancholy to me..the one which hides behind her beautiful smile..

"Dona"is FABULOUS!!

The color and flavor of her vocal is simply magical.. it takes me back to some past times..the way she is walking in the beginning of the video kills me..

 

[Gogerko]

LOVE IT!

 

[Dessi]

So, I am at work now... I missed the whole song cause the freaking show was toooooooo bloody looooooong...
I've just listened to the youtube clip and the song is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! 111

But I have to hear her live first... so I will not vote yet.

This song is amazing I am so not disappointed with our Queen. She will be in the final for sure, no doubt

 

[0scar]

Chorus is nice, rest of the song not so much. Needs a great performance to qualify, I'm not a fan.

 

[Mrm]

The most interesting thing is that my top 3 now is:

1. Macedonia
2. Montenegro
3. Bosnia and Herzegovina

That never happened before...

I have a feeling Croatia will join them, Nina Kraljic seems WONDERFUL!!

 

[Cyberbliss]

Positive things: it's beautiful, it's nostalgic, is it old-fashioned? Yes, but then, even the song from Poland is old-fashioned and it kinda sucks imo. This gives goosebumps instead. Simple and beautifully sung. With a little more awkward arrangement in Stockholm she will slay us all.

Negative things: none. I can't see them now.
You're right: Hail to the queen!

p.s. it's not going to win, but it's going to give us some pleasure

OMG Dear Dessi, just join me in the flow of the Kaliopi's magical "Dona"...sail with me along that "silky" flow...

 

[Chorizo]

I think it's okay but it's obviously not the masterpiece some people expected. I give it 7 points.

 

[Carrie]

Oh, glorious Kaliopi

Really rooting for this year! Welcome to my top 10

 

[wyq614]

Weaker than Crno i Belo, but still a good song. 7 points from me.

 

[Lupus]

To all those who are saying that it's weaker than Crno I Belo; could we really expect her to produce TWO miracles in one lifetime?

 

[RomanFromRussia]

This song is full of warmness and kindess. It gives me a lot of positive feelings. 12 points, of course.
