Absolutely not my cup of tea but it could have been worse, I guess.

Joining the club of NSCers who love this xheya

Really, I don't get how it can be hated like this.

Beautiful ethnic elements, rap... mmmm yeah. The vocals could be a bit better, but it's still one of the best entries this year xcheer

This sounds so Northern Turkish :eek: I know Greeks used to live there once but i'm so surprised :lol: This song is really different in a good way, i can't see it not passing to final from the same semi from Cyprus.

I'm so afraid of people who are saying that 'Greece won't sail through the semi-final', that's pretty obvious they will.
Moreover, they'll try to make the song more catchy when they'll perform.

I expected to hate this. it's a bit of a mess and the rap part is as always utterly terrible, but my ears seem to be quite happy, so I give this 7 points. However, I think Greece's 100% record is completely screwed.

I love the folk parts, and I really don't believe the rap to be that terrible either..? The chorus (especially the lyrics) is so terrible though :s

Not at all.

Not my cup of tea :/ the refrain is ok, but I hate rap parts, 2 points

I won't predict anything about qualifying, I think that it'll depend on the performance

I don't think juries are going to put this in their top 10 for the semi-final. It's not 100% terrible, but it's far from great. Then again, I have never quite liked any of Greece's entries and yet they've always made the final. I'd say they've been in there enough times and this is definitely not one of the 10 best songs in the first semi-final.

THE GOOD:

-I like the instrumentals in this song.
-The vocals are slightly memorable, if average.

THE BAD:


-This song is not intense enough for me.
-The switching between singing and rapping is slightly jarring.

THE VERDICT:

For a hip-hop group, this song is stale. For a Eurovision song, however, I can only muster up a "Enh." Everything here just sounds okay. Not good, and not bad, just okay. It's certainly not a winning song, and I don't know if it'll make the Final, either. 6 points

Yes, as [MENTION=11820]Nikkita[/MENTION] already said here, that music is soooo similar to Horon dance from Trabzon and Black Sea region in Turkey!! :eek:

But I ADORE it!! xlove xheart
