Obviously just made to be a GaGa copy, and the costumes doesn't fit her and seems forced and silly.

Dunno about the song. If this came prior GaGa, it would have been fresh and cool for Eurovision maybe, now it just feels like a desperate attempt.

Is that a crash cymbal on her head? LoL at 0:46! :)

Not bad... Not good either... And now that you've said it, she is totally Gaga-ish...

I mean she ripped her down to the "ooh oooh oh"'s xD lol

I like the song, but the video is cheap and a bad bad try at Lady GaGa, failing as bad as Jemeni in ESC !!!

at first it sounds awful... but by the end of the song it grows on you. anyways romania has an excuse to send americanised stuff cause quiet alot of there pop music is quite americanised... unlike azerbaijan or ukraine who probs send music thats nothing like the other stuff that comes out the country

Good song - way better than last years candidate! I like the vocals as well! Good luck! (It's similar to Lady Gaga though - but ok)

It's too much Lady Gaga. Not very original.

The song isn't bad ... its not great either. Its definitely an improvement over last years entry, even if the video is hurrendous :P

Beware the cut and paste... the third paragraph was lifted directly from her (supposedly) official website, and contains quite a few errors... Anyway, good luck to Romania, its been a while since Romania has sent a song I personally liked, but the good thing about Eurovision is there's always next time...

Layla, I so agree. This is just Americanised pop at its worst and I really hope that it isn't selected for Eurovision.


Layla Al-Magnuna [58775]

Not to mention it is another shitty popsong in English and this is what makes ESC more boring to watch. We already hear plenty of these crappy pop songs on radio every day - why even more?
