I think this is a good example where you're phrasing your opinion in a way to make it sound like it's an actual fact.

And I don't think we have to highjack every other topic to discuss the juries, we have a separate thread for that.

Well naturally, like before, I state my opinion :) (do we really have to be so literal in here? I think people are mature enough to understand what people write in here are their opinions?).

I actually dunno how this ended up being such a heated juries discussion, I just stated that I'm afraid juries won't really support this entry and why I thought so, but as always things gets carried away while the discussion moves from there. I was on-topic though (atleast from the get-go .. but I can't say no to a discussion really :), so no "hijacking" ;))

I actually didn't know there was a special thread for that? There have been in the past (I started one myself once :))

the song was not made for eurovision
many artist in romania choose to sing in spanish or portuguese because it sounds nice (i think)

This is one of these songs that we're becoming used to seeing with Romania - fun, polished pop music with a decent beat and catchy hook. I'm torn here: I think the song is great, but will it capture the imagination in a sea of Eurovision songs this year, that either seem to take the theme of ballad or hi-energy pop? I think with the right running order it could do some damage to the top five.

I like this years song a great deal. It has instant impact for me unlike others which take a few listens to really like.

I can see this song doing very well but will probably need to get a late draw and beside something slower, two of the ballads that qualify preferably, to have a chance of of a top 5 finish.

To the person who wanted this to fail to reach the final, I have to say don't get your hopes raised too high. The Romanian voting allies should see this qualify comfortably, in fact I can see it being top 3 in the semi-final, even from draw #6.

Is a little bit strange hear spanish in a romanian song, i must say. :lol:

But I'm loving this more and more! Very catchy and reminds me of some portuguese/brazilian songs. i'm sure that Romania will get a lot of points from Portugal this year. ;)
