It's shame that Serbia gave 10 points to it in final!! 
Yeah, f*** brotherhood voting!
I hate "Opa" it's among 3 worst songs in 2010 ESC!
It's shame that Serbia gave 10 points to it in final!!
I'm personally ashamed of that!
Of recent Greek entries I will give those high points to Anna Vissi for example!
I loved "OPA!". It was my favourite this year! 
The up-tempo, eurovisioness, energy and folksyness (lol) strucked me - And it strucked me hard 
When it comes to this version, it's still good, but not that wow-feeling I got by the original version. Like the small mix of greek and jewish folk-music at some places there, though. His voice is good and the edits from the original version is not that bad either 
Greeks,
Is it still good enough for swimming in October in Greece, are there still foreign tourists in October along the Greek coastline?
Official video for 'Opa' is very good. I like the Milos island very much as well as the vast majority of greek islands. I have a good pen-friend in Paros who has exchanged with me nice postcards.
I love hebrew language !! kisses to Israel smucccch !!
I like it this!!!
what a shame Israel didn't vote for Greece this year.
Greece got the ten points from Serbia in Oslo 2010, and just because Vukasin Brajic (Bosnia-Herzegovina entry) is so popular here for the Operation of Triumph, it was not the maximum of 12 pts for Greece.
iyice düğün havasına bürünmüş israil erkeklerin hepsi mi tipsiz olur ya I prefer the greek version 
The GREEK version's MILES BETTER
What I like about this version are the additions to the rhytmn; it makes the song sound more authentic But I still think that the Greek version is better because I feel that the lyrics in the greek language suit the song better than the hebrew lyrics.
It's not too bad, but the Greek version is still better.
not as good as the greek version I adore.
but it is great eurovision songs attract attention internationally even they haven't won.
yay! thx esc for publishing the item! love ya! *huggles*
Omer Adam is a great singer !!!
Interesting Info. I personally think he looks older than 16 or 17! His Hot! 
Some information about OMER ADAM
He was a candidate in the last season of Star IS Born (2009) and was even considered by many many people as potential to make it to the finals (like Shiri, Boaz & Harel previosuly were), BUT it was later discovered he lied about his age. He was 15.5, when the cut off is at 16! The rules forced orginisers to disqualify him.
Although the story made headlines, the public apperently liked him so much that no-one was really angry, and a manager and producer were quickly asking to work for him, He pretty much benefitted from it !
i told u guys xD! thats happend.
I prefer the Greek version, which I really loved and voted for cos of the pyrotechnic drums
It doesn´t matter which language is used - it´s pure horror to my ears! Awful! The worst esc-thing this year in my opinion.
Simply cruel!
Interesting! but not as interesting as the singer!
Who cares about that crap anyway?
I will repeat the majority of the comments here but it's obvious..that's even worse than the already very bad original..!!
Opa was an awful entry! why are people so crazy about it? It's as bad as Dum Tek Tek D:
Same crap... better looking singer... well at least it's something
Good Job !! Congratulations Israelian friends !!
