sona, miro jaros, aya and bango get through. It is a pitty, that druzina didin´t
the first song is very gooooooooooooooood
@ Iwona Wegrowska FTW
Aaaw thanx 
I mean you can like whatever you want but I remember you liked it before so I don't think you should change your opinion on an NF performance that's all... wait till may.
I don't think she will change the performance in the Slovak selection.. there's too little time to do so...
but wait for May 
D SK
Thank you!!
As you can see I also love Poland, and I want Iwona Wegrowska to win! 
Vote for Martina!! 
New in Town
I will put her back on the list for you coz i don't like to see -----------> 
from you!! 
*and hope she will change performance*
Iwona - I like Martina Sindlerova too (great voice, she´s very underrated in Slovakia to this moment in airplay in Slovakia). Mista has a nice song too - but was it not with violin? if yes -then sorry, 2 time repeated joke is not joke again (Rybak last year and now again violins - no interesting year by year).
But we have similar favourites.
Best regards to Serbia - I loved Molitva and your songs are usually very good (but not the last year).
Tomas Bezdeda go!
@ Iwona Wegrowska FTW
I can't believe you still judge one song by an NF performance Marko.. it doesn't make sense.
Please don't stop support it just because of an NF performance. They can change alot till may
D SK
You can't imagine how much I loved this song and supported Kristina before that ugly performance!! It's not glamourous at all!
Now I really hope for:
1. Mista
2. Martina Schindlerova
3. Michaella
And I'm waiting for Miro Jaros to qualify and to see his performance!
I know that Kristina will win , but I can't see her doing well in Oslo with shaky vocal and such an awful performance, sorry!!
P.S. I SVK!!
new in town - thanks for Kristina´s support. I´ve just seen public opinion poll on one web site (eurosong.topky.sk) and Kristina leads in this poll with a huge headstart. The song is already popular in our radio station - so I think it is important as well -people like the song. Of course it would be an illusion if somebody await 100% of support of people - but she has the biggest interest from all presented songs and therefore There is a big probability for her victory.
Iwona - dancers should represent trees, everything is in green - so it represents nature of Horehronie. Maybe this choreography looks for somebody as cliche, but what better they could do for this? Does she have to stand there as a statue on the podium and sing only? I think the choreography is quite well and they will improve it surely. But I agree that the biggest work has to be on Kristina´s vocal in live singing.
@ Iwona Wegrowska FTW
But Marko this was just a NF performance, you shouldn't judge it too hard on that. Do you know how many bad NF performances in many countries then turns into good performances in ESC?
I don't think NF performances are that important. For me this was more an experiment kind of.
The song is still the same song and if we are judging performances, it should be the one in ESC.

Martina Schindlerova's performance was so classy! She had shorter dress than Kristina but still looked way classier than her! And Mista's performance was pure magic (/I don't like when singer plays violin on the stage and still say that it was AMAZING 
)! This one is not proffesional at all LOL! Everything is so cheap and ugly! Dress with leaves, is she from kinder garden?!
IMO they ruined such a great song, you know that I don't like all ethno songs, but this one I liked really and I expected classy performance in nice dress and without those "monstrums" dancers which are like from jungle and better fit to Lordi than to Cristina!
@ Iwona Wegrowska FTW
Kristina looked good and the performance was professional and with good spirits. Yes the dressing were a little bit weird maybe and they could tone down some of the choreography, but other than that it was pretty good.
She is not very good live, but she could practice till may.
So why doesn't a performance like that fit the lyrics? It's a tribute to the country and they tried to make some kind of ESC kliché folk-modern thing about it... I don't see how that doesn't work?
Anyway I think you stuck too much opinion to this NF performance. There's 4 months left almost till ESC and they have time to analyze good and bad feedback and make lots of changes. I think with this NF performance they maybe over-analyzed former ESC performances a little too much, which also prove that they really want this. Remember that Slovakia has not been in this for years so they are trying their way.
So what's so special with the other performances then?
Anyway, I will not let a NF performance make up for what I think about a song. In the end the song is the most important for me and the performance will likely change till may anyhow.
Laila
I can't believe you liked that performance!!
Song about nature, forest, mountains and river Hron with that kitschy performance!! Dress is like from kinder garden YACK 
, boots are like from porn!! Make up is quite OK and hair, but compared to Martina's and Mista's it's awful!! And dancers don't suit a song at all! performance big 0 + she wasn't that good live, especially compared to some other singers from Slovakian NF!! 
@ Laila ♥ YEUROVIZJON!
hehe i'm just joking with you
@New in Town
I am not progressing as I didn't change anything. Whoever said I wasn't open-minded BTW? It's just people making false assumptions about me here without knowing me.
None of the songs is as good as the ones by Tomas, Peter or Horska Chata in my opinion I think I like Ayaa best out of these.
@ Laila ♥ YEUROVIZJON!
Haha... well I am still surprised..
But I like that you are progressing or maybe atleast a little more open-minded
Slovakia in general had a good selection, just like last year, but for me the strongest one is still Horehronie and I think it would be a mistake not choosing it.
I hope the juries will choose more wisely this year than last year. I liked the Slovakian entry last year, but it wasn't the best and it was just too difficult for Eurovision I think.
@New in Town
Progressing according to your taste maybe. I already knew I liked the song, but I was in doubt of her ability on stage. It was a good performance, she could be a little less wooden and have a better voice, but I wouldn't be unhappy if it won. It's not the best song though, Slovakia had several better ones, but they don't seem to have a winning chance now unless the jury turns it around.
@ Laila ♥ YEUROVIZJON!
Wow! I'm surprised you actually liked the performance of Horehronie! You would be the last person I thought would like it...
It's progressing I see
Yes, she does remind me a little bit about the NOX singer. She will need to go to singing boot-camp until may, but i'm sure she can make it.
It's still the best song and Slovakia should chose it.
Kristina for Slovakia!
Peter Bazik is still the best they got. "Horehronie" also had a good performance, I liked the dancing, but the Ruslana-lift could have been dropped. The only bad thing with Kristina really is that her voice is weak, but same thing happened with NOX - they also had everything and the female singer is what lacked.
"No webcast will be made available. "
What a pity
i can tip: Miro Jaros, Ivana Polackova, Stopa - other songs are uninteresting for me. especially song from Marcel Palonder is the biggest dissapointment for me - this man is able to do much better song.
And what is important - no one of these songs can compare to Kristina´s Horehronie. It should be our final national winner.
After having heard this bunch, these 3 stood out imo:
Stopa - Nightsong
Miro Jaroš - Bez siedmeho neba
Družina - Koniec sveta
Good luck.
Miro Jaros is my runaway favourite of the whole selection, he must win and represent Slovakia!!!!! his voice is great and the song is a fantastic love ballad!!!! he wrote it himself! Mirooo
My favorites:
1. Miro Jaroš
2. Ivana Poláčková
3. Stopa
4. Marián Bango
And BTW, do they know that the name of Marcel Palonder's song isn't "What about you?"
There's only one for Slovakia:
KRISTINA!!!
Good luck Slovakia and chose the best song (Horehronie)
