I wouldn't say that if in one discussion he/she didn't mention "To the sky" is great and unique or smth similar! ;)

I just discuss in here, isnt't forum to discuss all entries ad not only this one? :)

It's to compare entries.. :)

I'm not sure I get your first point. And sure you can compare entries but mocking someone's own entry when they haven't even brought it up is a bit weak, that's all I have to say ;)

Ok, in terms of any comparison, FYR Macedonia's entry is indeed unoriginal, and Greece's entry is a lot better. And I'm saying this ONLY to compare the songs, not to heat up the fight here.

You're such a BIG TROLL and now full of lies as well. Please give me the quote where I said To the sky is unique or original....(and still it has nothing to do with this).

And now you change subject to something totally else when ur first troll attempt FAILED?
You're so not worth anymore replies, but fyi I have a life unlike you and don't spend 24/7 commentating in every thread.
I comment on my fav countries in ESC (Swe, MKD, Greece).
Just piss off idiot.

this is one of those songs you kinda enjoy at first listening but you do not want to listen to one more time. 3 points from me.

Well then good thing the vast majority of the ESC audience will only hear it once! (well Twice if it passed to the final)

1st listening xbow

music part with trumpet (?) is interesting and catchy.
the rest is between meh and messy; it would've been better if they constructed an actual refrain in a song xthink

also, it will be interesting to see how will this work on stage xthink

overall it's a decent effort, it will be another final for greece.

i'll give it a 7 just for the trumpet part that is still playing in my head xrofl2

7 points. I don't know what Greece had done between ESC 2012 and ESC 2013, but if it was to be different every year from 2013 on, then I'm all for it. Especially since Greece had the biggest rut (musically) to get out of in the past decade or so. It had to be said, y'all.

As far as the song goes, the instrumentals have enough going on to not be considered boring and the lyrics have a good message. As far as genre mash-ups go, this is one of the better songs, because "Rise Up" manages to mesh dance-pop and rap without the result sounding weird.

GOSH can't stop watching performance from the NF, it gives me such a positive vibe, I almost want to put it at the number 1 on my list! :eek:

Ok!

It was a fair night!

As i said, except "dancing night", which was pretty much out of the race, the other 3 songs would give a fierce battle for the golden ticket!

After the songs were performed on stage, we all, in Acro Music Hall knew that FF were going to win! The crowd went crazy!

Krystalia was okayish, but did not deliver that extra magic her song needed in order to stand out (plus she wasn't vocally flawless, let's be honest!)

Kostas was indeed like a "cucumber" on stage and his vocals were weak, as always! And to this point, it gets crystall clear that a singer may not be perfect, but he can WORK the stage (aka Sakis). Martakis is just too "small". Sorry to his fans! :mrgreen:

Josephine? Who's that? :? " Aphrodisiac vol. 2 " was written all over this entry... But this girl does not even "hit" the camera as she should!

That's all from me! Good luck to my country! I will give it 6 pts for now. I would say that is a song that has an instant impact to anyone who listens to it for the 1st time (and that is all that matters, afterall the televoters in May are gonna listen to the songs just once, they won't have the time to get bored of it. Because, the song unfortunatelly is a bit repetitive, noboby can stand to listen to this many times...:mrgreen:!)

Good luck guyzzzzz! :D

The party in Kerameikos has just started! xcheer

Yessss, I'm so happy that Greece made the right choice! It was by far the strongest song. My alternative was Krystallia, I'd be OK with her song too. The other two songs were crap.

And this is my second 12 pointer of this year.

Great! Probably the only good song in the NF won :D 8 points :D

But it is true that this is the weakest Greek entry since Sakis first time. I think this is the first time I don't give 12 points to Greece.
