I don't know what many ppl say, but i truly liked that song, and i was shocked when i heard Iceland as the last qualifer 4 the final.
Although the performance was not quite what i expected, i still believe Turkey deserved a spot in the final :-(

Yeah, when it came time for the recap me and the people that I was watching the show with all felt like this was quite forgettable for some reason and those clothes were beyond ugly but it was still a very nice song. Georgia was clearly a far superiour rock song.
This is a contest. We can't be always successful. I'm not sad for this result. I'm sad for Yüksek Sadakat to get this result 
Because i love them. YS is a good band. They have got a lot of beautiful, good songs but unfortunately they were at the wrong place, at the wrong time with a wrong song! Our song wasn't bad but it never satisfied me. Actually first TRT's choice didn't satisfy me because i didn't want a rock band again after Manga. We should have gone with something different but TRT chose the safe way! Our rock bands always did well in the contest and TRT wouldn't get bad critiques that we had with pop entries about quality so they chose YS. Nobody expected it, YS wasn't even mentioned for this year. Their choice didn't satisfied me like i said but i waited for the song, I expected that YS would make a different work for example one of their beautiful slow songs but they followed Manga's footprints completely. They came up with a uptempo song with hard guitar riffs. Their stage show was similar with Manga. I heard that the same choreographer(Nathalie Marrable-robot girl of Manga) created the stage show so the similarity is normal. Their costumes was really ugly. I expected their live performance would stand out and shine but it didn't. These were the things that i'm unhappy with.
I'm really sad for YS but i'm kinda glad of our result because of the reasons that other Turkish members mentioned. This result may help us for convincing TRT for a NF. We need a big, professional NF. I told this in Eurovision 2012 Turkey's thread. And i hope everybody saw that our diaspora(i don't know that calling them diaspora is correct but let's call like that) isn't so effective especially with the new system. We never deny our diaspora's help but some haters use this to attack us not because they care the justice so much. You know, our diaspora's help is not the only injustice in this contest! But after all, i think all the injustices, juries and televoting balance each other and this situation makes the results more fair although I don't like the results all the time.

Loucas Yiorkas said in an interview:
I'll dare to say what I'm thinking, because it's true... I'm very sad that Turkey didn't qualify. No matter how strange it seems, even to me who I'm Cypriot, we were so connected with the guys of the Turkish band, who are very very good guys and I was sad because they didn't qualify.

I think he said that because he knew that there are a lot of people who would start calling him "betrayal" etc... Really, that's why he said that. Imagine that in 2005, when Helena Paparizou said "Istanbul", everybody in Greek tv channels were calling her betrayal! Some people are just stupid... They don't understand that we live in the 21st century!

Sweet quarrels are a usual part of brothers We share many things in common with Greeks.

The song was simply okay, not strong enough though. I had a feeling that Turkey wouldn't qualify and when I said it on a different forum, people thought I was crazy, lol. With countries like France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany that usually vote for Turkey voting in the other semi, Yuksek Sadakat were already in trouble.
It'll be weird having a final without Turkey, but to be honest, the song itself didn't deserve a lot, no matter what country sent it. Hopefully this will finally put all the "Turkey and Armenia will qualify no matter what they send" arguments to rest.

Once I heard a Greek saying Cypriots were British, that they prefer to talk English bla bla bla. I think it has to do with the fact living standards are clearly higher in Cyprus.
