^Looks like a really nice video, shame that the song is quite poor.

 

[SierraSprings]

Imagine what they could have done with a more upbeat song like Sered Hodi or LoveBoy!
The promo so far has been great and very professional, Danas team is really doing a great job to build up kind of a hype for her!
I hope the actual performance in Düsseldorf will be as good as all those teasers!

 

[johnsimpson]

i love her. she is so beautiful!

 

[Israeliboy]

Amazing

 

[Israeliboy]

Ok and here I put the teaser video (the one Zohar posted was deleted)

Sorry, but this is an absolute stinker. Bland and boring with nothing to hold the interest. The average Eurovision voter will have no affinity to Dana I and '98 was a looooong time ago. I really don't see this making it out of the semi, and deservedly so. If it sneaks into the final it will only be because it's Dana and not for this awful song. Nul points for me. One of the least memorable of the whole competition.

 

[alca]

Thanks a lot Israeliboy! Love the video!!!

 

[SierraSprings]

In my opinion this song is a huge grower, I love it right now and I used to dislike it in the beginning.
Well this might not help in the actual contest but for me Dana is doing a good job right now to build up a hype around the israeli entry!
I hope she'll make it to the grand final, I wanna see her live!

 

[Israeliboy]

^^^I respect other opinions, but people who try to make this song as the worst this year go so far. The song has nothing special, but has nothing bad. Not the best, neither the worst. It can do very well, and Dana knows the job..as she already showed us in Ireland and UK

 

[A-lister]

So have they decided yet which version to use on stage in Eurovision?

I know I'm always wondering this, but to me the second one is bad where's I really like the first one!

Also it seems the majority agree that the first one is the best one. But seeing they decided to go for the second one in the video one can never know.

So much negative commets all the time ??
I like dana and New Versio is perfeckt in eurovision and more easy sing in live ( off course i like bells ,but old version is little oldfashioned too )

Yep, the old version is kinda old-fashion, but the new version is even WORSE

I can't believe people find it "clubby" or "modern" when they made it sound even more like the typical Eurovision sound

 

[Scooby]

I just can imagine how song can be "Old - fashioned"?
What is definition of old - fashioned songs?
And what is definition of modern song?

 

[alca]

A-lister Dana is promoting the old version so we think she's going to perform this one! She probably used the new one to the video because that was weeks ago but I guess she saw the negative feedback of the new one and she decided to go with the old one.
