My belated congratulations to Serbia and a big thanks to Duda for the english translation.
I found the song nice (so much better from the other entries) and I loved the fact that people looked behind her strange (maybe ugly) looks and valued the song.

Most of the songs were terrible and the singers' outfits even worse. It looked like a big circus to me

As for the greek song (or the turkish- after all they were so alike) I think both were terrible. I haven't read the posts above to see other people's views, but I can't help but feeling ashamed for the greek choice . I don't blame the singer. This is his style and this is the music he can do. I blame the greek people for voting for this song though. But now that I think about it, the other songs that were competing with this one were twice as bad, so I really don't know whom to blame. Maybe myself for watching this contest? Hmmmmm....

In fact, all of us in Serbia were not a little scared before the Eurovisian contest... I've heard many people saying (including me): "Oh, please, just not let Marija's designer force her to put on a dress..." She just doesn't have a figure for that (not only overweight), and it's not her style (always in trousers and T-shirts), so it wouldn't be her... But we were amazed with the styling of her co-singers. Those girls were so uniformly pretty, and intentionally "Barbie-like" (or Farah Fawcett-like, whatever) that they looked almost like a piece of a decoration, or a landscape, and put Marija's figure in the first plan, she really seemed powerful. And really, for me it's a kind of proof that personality is stronger than beauty, that's what the stylists wanted and managed to point out.

And thanks again, I am surprised by how many people here liked the song... Ohhhh, I am thanking as it was me who won... lol ...but I was touched by what catwoman said about Serbian language... not that many people pay attention to such things.

P.S. I would congratulate to Bulgaria and Romania from my side... No one mentioned them, but Bulgarian singer was amazing in her performance of that ethno-motif, and Romania had 6 excellent singers and so cheerful melody.

Quoting libralady:

Actually I read in the paper this morning that this is her style and it is pure speculation about her sexuality. She has been given a hard time because of her parents divorce. If an artist wants to dress a certain way and create their own style, it is surely up to them - I prefer her style to that of the Ukraine offering or the embarassing Moldova singer who was nearly displaying her........... and looked like something from a sex shop window - well leave it at that



Oh no, I absolutely agree with you libralady. I prefer her outfit (except for her shoes ) MUCH more then the other "sex shop" embarrassments. I was just speculating earlier as to why she chose to dress like this, not knowing anything about her. I think that she's beautiful, maybe not the most perfect figure, but that doesn't matter.

eurovision is a crappy contest!
less proffessionalism - more scandalism!
a geo-political contest, not music.
the eastern block states have granted each other the points, esp. post-soviets republics. and of course germany traditionally voted for turkey

serbia wasnt bad actually, thank God ukraine didnt win!
i mostly liked guys from latvia, professionals!
though i had fun watching france, sweden and ukraine!
oh, i forgot to add that funny guys from romania werre really super cool!
oh, one more thing, hehehe brits were flying and flying so hard that they landed on the 2nd from the bottom!

I don't find anything similar other than the "shake it" part in the two songs.
Greek's song is in the taste of Ricky Martin while Kenan's song has more hip hop tunes.
