Best song was OSTANI - ALEKSANDAR BELOV ! Great performance, song is a masterpiece...so unique, so it`s a shame that Europe will not hear that song.
Winning song is not bad...but not so interesting..nothing special really. I don`t think that Macedonia will get much points this year from Serbia (where I come from), I `m sure that it would be different if Aleksandar won, cause he is already famous in the region of ex-Yugoslavia....
anna gianno shake your head. Cyprus always sends good songs. eww that fyromacedonia dude is old.
Geee Lina......
thats really intersting to hear from some that comes from cyprus...
So, giving greece 12pts this year??
FYRO Macedonia is going to take points only from Bosnia ( 8 or 10 or 12 ), Serbia ( 8 or 10 or 12 ) and maybe from Albania some points . For sure that song is not going to be the last in semifinal . Is going to take 12 or 13 or 14 place and that beacuse of Albania, Serbia and Albania. But i can understand the reasons 
Languages is almost the same , manoritys between that countries and a kind of "brother" support Anyway...Good luck
to the greek(turkish word) peuple who has fashistic reactions here:
FYROM SKOPIA HELLAS OR ELLADA only in greece(turkish word)
in rest of the world is only MACEDONIA and GREECE(turkish word)
now about the song:
i am eurofan from 1982 and Macedonia never send good song in YUGOVISION and never win in Yugovision.
and now again Macedonia never send good song in EUROVISION.
i dont know why?
Shut your mouth up "fyrom" people
I've liked Macedonian entries until now but what did they choose this song ? 
Come on Macedonia , you have so many talented singers , why this guy ? Anyway , i wish the best of luck to Macedonia , GOOD LUCK !
Not too bad (compared to others of course)....but not for final! Oddly, it sounds better if you hear it without watching.....
Good luck FYROM!
Absolutely awful.... had to stop listening after 45 seconds.....
OMG, what is this????? Words can't express what that song sounds like.... Resembles Montenegro 2008, although that song was million times better!!! Too bad, coz FYR Macedonia used to be one of my favourite countries in the contest...
swear to god where do they find these performers - the dole office?!
alright song - blah eurovision is so far turning out to be quite depressing this year. Not one song grabs me at all - Norway/Cyprus best of awful bunch
i cant believe...
btw very beautiful songs, this song was chosen...it is hard to be qualified to final esc.
okay whoever is complaining for Macedonia getting points from its neighbors... Yes that happens and it's annoying. But also look at it the other way around. For example I don't think many countries from Western Europe will ever give us points even if we send the most awesome song (Kiril Dzajkovski and Bobi Andonov are my only hopes for success so far). Maybe Turks and immigrants from former Yugoslavia that live in Western Europe might vote for us, but for example I can't picture many French people voting for Macedonia.

Am I the only one thinking that the best song was chosen?I like it a lot!Good Luck neighbours 
Well, actually this is a nice song to hear, and taking into account there are no wonders this year (by now) FYR Macedonia could finally pass...
baddddddddddddddddddddd.
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
This is not song that gay people would like, and only because of gay fans this song wont go to the final.
I like the song very much.
" yeah they bring the jury back that is why this year is going to be the worst for eurovision all countries send slow songs just because of the jury " OMG I have to remind you that last year jurys favory and winner song wasnt balland ( Norway ) Also jurys give huge points to Turkey, Azerbaijan and Ukraine songs who wasnt ballands.
Oh no...this is very boring and forgettable. The rap is awful. Sorry FYR Macedonia...good luck!
We agree on that - I don't support it either, no matter who we talking about. So, if Macedonia is bashed, anyone else who does it so should be criticized as well
@Marko
well whoever you want to be...!
love
paulcl
xx
oh come on macedonia is the only one who gets point like that, greece always get 12 points from cyprus and you never say anything about it the ex sssr give points to each other but you are talking just for us, the whole world works like that, it is not just us believe me
Another mediocre rock song from Macedonia - deserves NOT to go to final. Glad juries are back !!
@Marko
ok, I moght be wrong about Malena (yet I think that in less wealthy countries, most of the voters were devoted eurofans, who made an impact to total outcome in their respective countries)
But what about Charlotte - she got 12 from Denmark, and 8 from Iceland (and 7 from Malta (i believe they are really liked Hero, considering chliches they usually send), and 6 from UK) - all other marks were lower
Was that a deserved place in the final? I think no
Marko
sure , its a kind of love/hate relationship! but love you in general more than I hate you...LOl! though not sure about your latest "persona"? who are you exactly?! inquisitive journalist paul cl
Marko
I agree that's unfair - I don't like neighboring or block votes either. But you know Serbian audience - average viewer will tell - "oh, this is Toše/Karolina, let's vote him/her", "Look this is Tijana's sister" - and the most important of all, their songs WILL be appealing to average Serb (you know yourself that their entries are played on radio here). And only when you add some votes from here or there, they enter the finals. Last 2 years obviously friendly votes weren't enough, and they didn't make it to the final.
