I agree that our song is shit, but Icebreaker has nothing going for it either, by far the less outstanding norwegian song in years, reminds me of moldovan songs

Icebreaker is shit also...You see i turned green:D:D:D
But Greece had a nice intro, and than....Rap parts are :(

GOOOSH!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

This is BRILLIANT!! xbow xbow xbow

I can't believe what i have just heard...rap in Greek language, fantastic REAL ethnic music, I think we have never heard such a great ethno music in ESC EVER..these parts gave me goosebumps..and Iconic chorus in English, with charming accent and simple, but such a strong message..

Thank you Greece for this magnificent entry! xlove xheart

INSTANT 12 in the poll!

Only that is fantastic! Greek rap in combination with english chorus ode to the sun???No no no ...

I don't agree, I find it genuine, it reflects some real and current aspects.. xlove xheart

The chorus is brilliant for me exactly because they are not perfect female vocalists and that they have some thick Greek english accent..

please Greece don't change anything.. xpray

Greece was my least fave ESC country earlier with shitty so called ethno pop, but 2015 and 2o16..no comment they are brilliant!!

This is too much for my taste. I think that english chorus did not belong here . Everything would have sounded fantastic only in greek . What is ruining this song is the english ode to the sun, even with a little greek accent , it's wrong, incompatible , even for exhibitionist .
One thing should be changed-greek rap or english chorus...

Well this is my least favourite entry of 2016 so far by a reasonable margin. The start promises a fair bit, but the rest is just not my cup of tea at all I'm afraid. Ah well, had to be some entries I didn't like this year! :p

Not a huge fan of this song at all. :( Really upsetting. I think it'd be fair if Greece stays in the semi, but they probably wont. We'll see. :?

xbow great entry!

Honestly? I absolutely adore this. This is exactly what I watch Eurovision for (apart from unintentionally hilarious trash, but we have Serhat for that already). I’m so damn happy to see Greece leaving their dancepop/ballad strategy behind and sending something truly Greek – and I’ve read the lyrics are quite meaningful as well.

Huge props for sending riskier stuff, and I’m quite a sucker for the ethnic beats in this song. The contrast in sound between the verses and the chorus is fairly interesting and well done too.

12 points xyesxyes

Fantastic song xheart Great job Greece, this has shot into my Top 10. Haters gon' hate

Thessaloniki 2017 please. xpray

I like this: a country that has never been afraid of sending an ethnic sound, and the blend with rap is actually quite good. I love having these kind of entries, as much as I love the classic cheesey uptempo songs and power ballads, having things like these is what makes Eurovision interesting.

8/12.

Probably negative. :)

My personal opinion , I don't hate it as I thought I would. There is no comparison with past Greece songs .

I think Greece will manage to qualify thought.

I really hope so..as i told already, Greece was my least fave esc country while sending cheap ethno pop, now in 2015, and 2016 I ADORE it! xlove

Scooby usually likes Greek music, so it doesn't mean it will be "negative OMG" :D
