Ok choreograph with the girls. Great guitar work. Change the singer. His voice is too harsh or it’s the style he’s chosen to sing it in. this is what will stand out most to people who do not understand Macedonia and it sounds contra to the message my name is love. It needs to be a bit in the style of Wam in the early days…spt spt spt…the thought of a Greek singing a song about Macedonia me ogorce but George Michael would do a better job. It needs to be softer and wormer kind of like love. The audience would have prepared themselves for an evening of happy and harsh sticks out like a thumb. Its more in tune with an arty version of I like it ruff.

The Village People were in the era when gay bashing was in and had to make an effort to be cool. Now in the era of gay parades they can wear all black.hahahaJust a little bit more….OPA.

I just watched Greece`s song. It has Turkish name "Hoppa"(move, get up, Jump) and the music of Blacksea with the instrument "Kemenche" Rest of melody is quite like Bosnian, Macedonian

It will not get past the first stage, i'm sory to say. I am a fan of Gjoko. He has made many good songs. But this is very disapointing. Here's an idea, why don't they come out one day with a Gajda and selski tapan and show something that is Macedonian? i am sure that will be more enjoyable and memorable for people to vote.

Video for our Eurovision song.

Good representation by our models and fashion designers (from what I recognise)

But does the song compliment the video?

[Serdarot]

Interesting video, i wonder if we see more of this? This could only be the start of it

we will see and hear much more like this.

they are starting to prepare their public for such thing as "total lose", but i am sure they will try hard as never to make a "win-win" with "Severna Makedonija" (About the fact that if we accept ANY rename we are idiots i will not write here / now...)

I would say the flag image in the clip was placed there by televizijasonce.

There is no way the Greeks would do such a thing.

[Coolski]

another thing... where did the image with the Macedonian flag with MACEDONIA written on it, come from?

Was it an official Eurovision trailer clip, or was this made by the Greek TV show?

Does anyone think that this might have been shown on the program to subliminally get greek viewers used to the idea of us being called Macedonia?

[Coolski]

So what sparked this several minute conversation? That our song is called "Ja imam silata" and they made up that this COULD mean "Ja imam silata da si go čuvam imeto"?

1. They are truly schizophrenic, making up scenarios and then complaining about them.
2. Everybody has the power to keep their name!

[Rogi]

I should point out that he is also a long time member of the Board and Chairperson of the Greek Helsinki Monitor for Human Rights.

Cool. I was commenting on the arguments he presented in the clip itself. Which added to his experience in such matters, explains the response of the other participants.

[Rogi]

Grigoris Valianatos has been outspoken in support of the rights of the Macedonians in Greece many times before.

In fact, less than 2 years ago he was fired from his job as a Media Advisor to PASOK leader Papandreu because he expressed publicly (on TV) his views that Greece should recognise the Republic of Macedonia as the Republic of Macedonia, and recognise the existence of and respect the rights of the Macedonian minority in Greece.

[sf.]

He didn't support the Macedonians in that clip, but was giving his analysis on the Greek position and attitudes regarding the dispute.

[Mikail]

It is interesting. Normally the "others" would shout down anyone supporting Macedonia or Macedonians.

The fact that Grigoris Valiantos speaks with very little interruption is a mirracle in itself.

[Prolet]

Interesting video, i wonder if we see more of this? This could only be the start of it
