The best song Slovakia ever sent.....hope they can perform live....

7 points. It's really good, but not the greatest. I prefer last year's entry.

I wasn't expecting a ballad from them but it's a good choice. I like the official video also.

Last year was totally great, but it didn't make the final. This year is quite good, 7 points, but I'm not sure if they'll make it this year either. We'll see.

This is totally sweet and is growing on me. I loved their performance in Miss Slovakia. SOmething like that in ESC would be lovely 1

I just didn't like 2010. And the reason why I didn't like it was because it was way too reptitive and predictable.

I don't see how an ethnic song in native language is predictable wheres the Swedish/American songs are not.

But hey ho matter of taste offcourse, I was just curious to hear your point of view.

Interesting though you liked Finland since that one was really repetitive.

Personally I liked both though so doesn't matter.

Anyways, I still believe this year's Slovak entry is a sad result of a country trying to showcase their own language and musical culture and getting overlooked each time doing it. If this is where Eurovision is heading, I'm not gonna follow it anymore.

Actually my only complaint about finland was it was repetitive but it was cheerful and uplifting but they switched up the pace in the end. Of course there is never always 100% reasonable answer to why someone likes or dislikes a song as it either clicks or it doesnt.

But in Slovakia's defense, Twiins is a known band in that country and that's just the kind of music they've been doing for years. They didn't change it up just for the contest so I think it's a fair entry from Slovakia. It's not like they had a foreign act sing an American song.

Yeah, I know it's hard to discuss taste in music. It's really subjective.

As for Twiins being a popular act in Slovakia I've got no clue to be honest. The little chart-knowledge I have on both Czech Republic and Slovakia I've never seen them there.

Well, it does represent them as a duo, but I was referring to Slovakia in Eurovision though.

This song is slowly but surely growing on me - hoping for a qualification in May!

Agree with this conclusion

Right or wrong, I think it's a long time since many people saw Eurovision as some sort of cultural exchange programme

One of the twins looks like Marcia Cross. The one with the pinky dress in the official video.

I was thinking they look more like Mr. Schuster's cheating fake pregnancy ex-wife from Glee! The resemblance is extraordinary!

 

[Grinch]

Terri! You're right

She's Jessalyn Gilsig, also was Claire's mother on Heroes.

i love it 12 points

i say I,m still alive

Pitty for Slovakia, wich have had beautiful songs last years, but didn't qualify for the Finals. This year seems the same, Twiins are two girls with superbe voices, the song is great, but I think their chances are small, in order to qualify. If this happens, it will be a good repair for last years...

Right or wrong, I think many doesn't see it as an American cultural exchange programme either.

All comes down to taste in the end.

Imo this is Slovakia's second worst entry to date (only their '94 debut is worse or they are equally bad since that one atleast was a little more interesting).

The problem with this entry is that it just screams generic. Seems like sugary girl-pop from late 90's/early 00's. It's very Atomic Kitten left-over.

I love this song!!!
12 points from Croatia!!

This year I have 3-4 songs that I really like, and I wouldn't mind mind if one of them wins (Slovakia, Estonia, Hungary and Germany)!

TWiiNS are really cute, and they have nice voices! After masterpiece from last year, Slovakia deserves qualifying this year...
