I LOVE the last minute of this. It is so anthemic and the clapping is great. I hope she brings some of this positivity to the staging.

This is definitely a DNQ though...

Meh. It's alright but I can see this being surplus to requirements with Semi 1 being such a death semi.

Also fun fact this will be one of two songs called 'Amen' this year along with Austria so we've got a Warrior 2015 situation on our hands again.

This is doing nothing for me yet but it may grow.

This is.. passable I guess? She's definitely a great vocalist but the song doesn't do much for me, even when it ramps up at the end.

I am living for this. This is everything I want in some Balkan ESL Pop.


Slovenia maintaining that 100% hit streak for me

I thought the same thing!!!

The last section of the video is the best bit, but given the video clocks in at close to 4 minutes..will that section even be on the final Eurovision version?

I thought she'd promised it wasn't going to be a ballad this time so I'm disappointed from that angle, but it's a better song than last year. And we did need a guaranteed NQ in semi 1 so thanks for delivering on that, Ana.

I've been waiting for something like this to happen since the rule change about backing singers was introduced but I did not expect it to be so blatant so soon. So, she stops singing and then lets the "pre-recorded" backing vocals take over.

This is not playing fair. Allowing a pre-recorded vocal to take over the song while the singer just stands there is not in the spirit of the competition.

It has never been properly explained why the new rule was brought in. They gave us some rubbish excuse about keeping delegation numbers down.

As great as the end section is, I am hoping that it gets cut as the song is already around the 3 minute mark when Ana stops singing
