"Macedonia's full name is the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), not to be confused with the Greek region of Macedonia. Macedonia became independent in 1991. Since then there have been clashes between the country's large Albanian minority and its Macedonian minority"

Well even in Macedonian I loved this song, not sure why, probably because of it's great beat and RnB influences. The rap is so much better in English and I hope it gets through the Semis like normal for Macedonia! Now having listened to this song constantly for a week it is one of my favourites, sorry Norway you're out of there! Fantastic song, so catchy and so easy to pick up the lyrics! I will no doubt be dancing round to this and singing along! It's in SF2 and becomes my third vote. On the night I'm voting 6 times, 3 for Sweden, 2 for Iceland and 1 for Macedonia.

I like this song. It was good in Macedonian to start with, but I prefer it in English. For example, it's like one of those songs that if it comes onto your iPod, you skip it, but you'll listen to the newer version. At least it is for me!
I think the beat is strong and the rap parts are good. The singer of the main part is singing well, in tune and in rythmn with the song (unlike others i could name). The lyrics are good, but every time the chorus in English kicks in I keep expecting it to start singing in Macedonian!!
