I don't get it, why some people compare Macedonian entry to this one? They have absolutely nothing in common. I'm not even mentioning quality.
I'm so sorry for "Be Proud", seriously? 5%? It's so sad(
However, "Same heart" is a good song with a hook, Mei is incredible, so i give it 8 points.

I just listened to the other two songs and all I can say is how disappointed I am now:(

What they have chosen here is by far the blandest of the three songs. It's literally just going to blend in with the other pop-rock entries of the year, especially Macedonia and Italy, both of which probably have stronger songs. "Be Proud" would have been a pretty neat entry. It sounds like a James Bond number. That would have been something a little different and at least could have stood on it's own.

On a plus note, can I just say I loved the music videos accompanying the songs:lol: Real lofi charm to them. It was as if David Lynch was behind the camera.

I love you, but you're wrong. So there.

I've seen a number of people say this will split votes with Macedonia and others have said it reminds them of Kati Wolf (Hungary 2011), Evridiki (Cyprus 2007) and Euroband (Iceland 2008) xthink xstars

Unless I'm hearing a completely different song then everyone else half the comparisons make no sense to me what so ever xwhat The only one that makes any sense to me is Emma (Italy) xshrug

Just 4 pts from me. I think this will struggle to get top half in the final.

I don't know what to think, I just don't like her voice. I'd rather have the whole song in Hebrew. 5 points now, but i'll probably change my opinion about this song :)

Very disappointed, but then I knew i would be. Surprised with the 5% though of course, it never stood a chance really after all. Not overly fond of this and only relation I can see with Macedonian song is that I might be awarding them both a 5 and don't imagine myself listening to them any time sooner than rehearsals week.

The first 20 seconds of the song is really cool. Modern, edgy rock. Real instruments, cool riff, just what I like. But then the pumping europop beat kicks in and ruins the song. Why? This song has potential to be one of the best rock entries of all time, but it just didn't happen. Am I dissappointed? YES! 1 point for taking part, 11 points for the beginning of the song, and -10 for trashing it with europop. 2 points, and someone deserves a good beating for killing good music like this.

:lol:

Liked your maths :D

But I agree, the beginning is indeed promising. It gets lost later on somehow. I blamed it on the Only Teardrops syndrome, lyrics rush, but maybe the europop beat is really the one to have done it.
Anyway, one more country's gone to waste and that's all it really comes down to :(

"Same heart" was my favorite of the three songs presented and it´s one of my overall favorites for ESC 2014 atm.
So I gave 10 points - Well done, Mei, Well done, Israel!
