   In my opinion the english version is even more boring than in the native language. I don’t think that this song will have success in the contest.

   I don’t know what version is the best of this song to be honest.

   I really prefer the original version, i think i ve been listening for so long that it sounds like perfection. Although this is a good way for english speakers to catch the soul of this song.

   english versions are normally rubbish. Nothing like the original version, in this case the portuguese one. It should be compulsory.
   My top 4 this year is: Israel, Albania, Portugal and Serbia.

   james- I agree with you. That’s usually the case.
   I’m not a very big fan of this song either but it’s not bad either.
   I do like the other songs you listed there, Israel, Albania and Serbia are among the best

   My point is Portugal did a good job this year.
   It is singing in portuguese
   It has a good lyric
   It is loyal to its traditions
   Vania has a great voice.

   In my opinion few songs have this standard this year.
   However i enjoy the hungarian, serbian, russian, ukrainian n romanian songs. Almost forgot norway!!!

   And some good songs that miss points are: Sweden due the lyric (a bit basic in my opinion) and Greece that has a great song but unfortunately Kalomoira voice is nothing special, doesnt give the intesity that the songs needs.

   Hmm yea I suppose it’s traditional and have quite good lyrics. I’m honestly not sure if I like the language so much :S
   And I agree about Sweden’s lyrics. Maybe that’s the biggest reason why our song doesn’t make me feel anything really.
   Greece could have done better I think too but it’s still an ok song.

    I watched a program which is divided into four parts yesterday that we have here in Sweden where there are five people who go through all the songs of the eurovision and all these five people give songs points from 0 to 5 , yesterday it was the fourth and last part so they went through the last songs in the second semifinals and the five songs already qualified for the final and they only gave this song 4 points TOTALLY (four of them gave only one point and one gave 0 points):S Those have a very weird music taste sometimes though, for example they gave Croatia very high points and Norway got most points of all songs….so it’s no idea to listen to them anyway, they always give nordic countries high points lol….
