[DiivaLah]

Balkans- , Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania , Turkey , Bosna& Herzegovina , Greece , Albania , Fyr Macedonia , Croatia , Montenegro , balkan countries..

[RosieCullen1998]

@DiivaLah turkey isn't balkan. the countries called balkans are that on balkan peninsula. no offense / racism . just basic geography. =)

[DiivaLah]

@RosieCullen1998 I know you , but it's a part of Turkey who are balkan state, Turkey is a part of balkans. Turkey is 50 % Balkan and other half is something else. It's not only you who though so.

[RosieCullen1998]

@DiivaLah  u mean the Konstantinoupoli part? ( Istanbul )

[DiivaLah]

@RosieCullen1998 dear you, Constantinople?! this is Istanbul now and no it is not Istanbul, which is part of the Balkan I mean., we have a lot of towns that are inclined towards the Balkans are Edirne, Tekirdag, Trakya, and we have a lot more cities that are leaning towards the Balkans, the word Balkan is a Turkish word that means mountains .. So it is quite clear that Turkey is a member of Balkan,

I'm from Turkey's European part, Balkan part and you should not think so.

[RosieCullen1998]

@DiivaLah I know it's Istanbul now but it used to be a Greek part until Turks took it in 1453.

[DiivaLah]

@RosieCullen1998 Never mind, it is Istanbul, and my home town.,,

[RosieCullen1998]

@DiivaLah ok. u call it Istanbul , i call it Constantinople.

[DiivaLah]

@RosieCullen1998 You stupid shit, dream on and do not make me mad I have Greek friends here also they know exactly that city living is Istanbul, not constantinopel nowadays .. What time do you think you live in?! there is no constantinopel left!

[CalleAspen]

@RosieCullen1998 uhm, why do u call it constantinople? im from sweden, but its still called Istanbul. ur like, 660 years too late. and turkey is a part european/balkan and a part asian. so i think u should go back to school and hit your teacher/s real hard, beacause they havent learnd u anything clearly.

[ultraturkishdelight]

@RosieCullen1998 turkey is a multigeographical country...we have parts of balkan caucassian anatolian mid-east and cyprus :D also there are more than 25 million balkan originated people live in turkey(turks bosniaks albanians pomaks greeks gypsies etc) so the term balkan is a turkish word "blood and honey" in turkish because ottoman empire created the today's balkan culture..it is not only geographic also historical and cultural babe :DDD

[roundtable5]

the brits are the most frustrated persons in this world

[bobomixmarian]

sorry....but they are not faeries...in romania are many legends about Dracula and others...one legend is about some girls ...forest girls " ielele". That girls dancing hora and singing in the forest at night and make linght in forest. But in romanian legend that girls are damned, the people who see them remain kinda disabled...

are many legends about that girls...and Elena and dansing girls performing very well that legend....Bravoooooooooooo Rmaniaaaaaaa.....Bravoooo Elenaaaaaa

[serkanization]

frumosa

[The2kilos]

So the title "The Balkan girls" was meant to gather all points from numerous Balkan countries as compared to the Western ones? From Greece to Slovenia, from Croatia to Bulgaria... Something went wrong, guys? lol

Just kidding - nice song!

[TheTrue167]

i love this song 12 points from sLOVEnija

[mediapuma82]

we love romanian songs. 12 points from Greece!

[castraveticufrisca]

Thank you.. I don't like this song at all but I'm Romanian.. It was better at the radio or on MTV :)) She (like many Romanian singers) can't sing Live very well..

[Andrei091989]

@castraveticufrisca inseamna ca ai urechile infundate!!!!!!! daca nici ea nu canta bine, atunci cine? roxy manelista? sexy braileanca??????

[castraveticufrisca]

@Andrei091989 NU imi plac manelele. Pur si simplu nu imi place cum canta live. Nu poti sa zici ca stie sa cante live ca alti participanti.. Avem totusi cateva trupe care canta bine live si in Romania.

[davazno1]

Are voce , dar melodia e praf , si paula seling are voce superba dar nu are nici un hit . Vocea nu e totul .

[victor86tabacaru]

@davazno1 notiunea de hit e total relativa: hit nu inseamna ca piesa e de calitate; paula selling are melodii f misto - numai ca nu sunt la fel de promovate ca fly project de ex

[motaelq]

@Andrei091989 Nu e extraordinara,are o voce buna(nu foarte buna),aici canta foarte bine,curat,sigura pe sunete,are cursivitate,insa nu impresioneaza prin voce(cprecum in cazul UK ,Maltei,Suediei sau Moldovei),iar melodia este una slabuta:)

[Horiyka]

and we love greece songs ;)

[loredana2301]

najpa cantec

[hbkmano]

[Just04u01]

[youmotorbike]

EXCELLENT SONG

[xXDavidTennantXx4eva]

LOVE THIS SONG SO SOOO MUCH!!! :D Was my favourite of 2009 and was so shocked it wasn't in the top 3!! :O I thought it was the kind that would win! :( I really love this and still can't stop listening to it since i heard it in May!! ^^ Me and my friends have a whole dance to this song!! XD Eurovision is the best!! :D

[Alex4u]

catchy but imitation of Helena Paparizou winner of 2005. Love Romania

[valeamoldovei]

[TheLollipop911]

This song is really lively <3

[SmilingEllie]

nice song it makes you wanna dance and move to the music

it has something good and Elena's voice is very good and her name too =) I have the same name xD

I think it was just so bad placed because it was for some people not special enough and too main stream

[ashleylove275]

[RandomJack14]

[claud281188]

i cant believe how stupid people can be!!

[everhard1000]

hush, get quiet folks ! each of you is right in its own way ! Ican't understand why British entries always fell behind .

Does Cliff Richard sings worse than smb else?

[Tiikeliify]

I liked this so much! :D Especially the costumes are nice. This song makes my feet want to swing, heh.

[KMWAN2000]

wow voice ! she sing very well,

[SaNBeanz]

Great Song!

[Exagerative]

It seems to be more like a women contest than a song contest.. then Spain last year sent in that rodolfo guy.. lmfao.. he was hilarious.. who the hell would think he would win.

[xXDavidTennantXx4eva]

I LOVE this so much!!! I had a few favs this year but this was my favourite and was so shocked that it didn't do much better!! it's not fair, this should have been in the top 3!! She is obviously not miming!! and Graham Norton who did our UK commentry is a idiot!! XD

[xXDavidTennantXx4eva]

heya i see you replied to my comment. i am british too! I love eurovision and i am just saying that this was my favourite and i wanted it to win :) I didn't say anything about Jade so i don't know why you talking about that but i agree that Jade was great and it was a pretty song! :)

[yonasilvia]

yes, great britain liered because they wanted to catch a good place for their country, so, they found this stupid "mistake" at Romania...Is not fair! I can say that Jade didn't sing! Another person sang for her! Is this fair? Of course not!

[frostycold111]

your so stupid...

[NatySweetGirl]

She wasn't miming.You can't compare Elena with the girl in the blue dress.Elena's voice is stronger...So...GO ROMANIA xD

P.S.;Sry for my english

[yonasilvia]

Great Britain just liered! Elena really sang! I think that they really didn't sang! GREAT SONG ROMANIA! STUPID SONG GREAT BRITAIN! LIERS!

[DeathAtEaster]

"Liered"?

[frostycold111]

why are you so jealous that we got a higer placing than your country? i could insult you for hours but your not worth it

[3333alex]

@yonasilvia Right? Elena didn't deserve the 19th place.. she should've been like 4th to 8th..:(

[ohilovehaters]

@yonasilvia oh come on. first.. u should learn some english . second.. this song sucks.

[dylanarron]

@yonasilvia you can tell great britain did sing coz she was well outta tune

[RandomNameName]

the British commentator said the singer was miming and the actual singer was at the back of the stage in the blue dress, you can see her a bit at 2:13

I'm not sure if this is true because many people have said she's a backing singer..

Either way nice catchy song :)

[RandomNameName]

Sorry I meant 0:13

[mickekemi]

I Love this song!

[victoria9227]

frati de peste prut v-am acordat 12 points, si voi noua! Iata asa... Va place sau nu dar sangele apa nu se face...

[alexionut24]

nu stiu la ce eurovision teai uitat tu,...dar moldova nea dat noua 12 puncte anu asta=)))))))

[cosminzaraza]

she is romanian girl..not macedonian,not greek...

[degoudenkoo1]

She is half Romanian half Macedonian

[FuriosTube]

wrong she is aromanian, not the same with Macedonian /// go on wikipedia and find out

[mariusiosif66todea]

de fapt..nici nu e rea melodia,instrumentatia e chiar super...iar Elena looks good..very pretty...!Kissssses to you..!

[lillu124]

<3 this song

and its true-the balkan girls party like nobody :P

[xristinaki1985]

this year it was the judges and songs like these had not the luck they deserved..it was the ballads time..and the worst is that we do not know what exactly the people voted..we pay for the calls there is not reason to be judges..i hope it will change

[Phoepphhii]

<3<3<3 omg zotzaaaalig liekééééé!

lu joë!!!Greetz lloo

[frostycold111]

not the best song but pretty good...

[krste96]

she is macedonian girl huhu realy becase he is nice

[xristinaki1985]

she is not a greek...she is a fyromian..i love this song and i came to hear it do not make me upset...

[pabloortiz75]

it's funny how the backing singer has a much better and melodic voice than Elena. It's pretty obvious from minute 1:15

[luciem1985]

come on, did the backing singer have to sing and dance too ?

[darkm4ster54]

1- malta

2- iceland

3- norway

4- estonia

5- romania

greetz from Portugal

[myselfraluca]

Who said that was lypsinc is an idiot.I mean,c'mon who could risk do that at an international contest???You ppl are just gelous,maybe because she sang too good,if you said that.Get a life morons!

PS:I'm not saying this only because I'm romanian.I'm saying this because it's the truth!Fuck off!

[Zetsupwnage]

a cantat pe pula bine. nu toti sunt niste redusi cu IQ mai mic decat un ac de mare si nu pe toata lumea impresioneaza tendinta asta cu "lets party groove shit".

[justmelindy]

The thing that pisses me off is that some reporters from GB wrote that. I mean... come one, do they even know her voice?? I bet they didn't even try to see the difference between Lucia's voice and Elena's voice.

[clubtaken1]

ı remember this oh yes watch 2003 eurovision sertab very similiar to this carography hahaha

[lerinastar]

romania girl ! so good ! but she wasn't in top 10 for the contest ! sad and norway was 1st and iceland was 2nd T.T elena should be 1st or 2nd

[minession]

hai sa fim seriosi coreografie din anii 70 nu mai sint in stare sa faca nimic fara ceausescu tot guvernul e terminat si se mai dau si mari pe deasupra ...ptiiiiiiiiiiiiuuuuuuuu

[zdupa445566778899]

aia d la backing cam a stricat melodia :))

[lerinastar]

waa she is so cool and pretty haha like her song . romania carries stories of vampire COOL

[mare555100]

that is not true, vampires are stories from Serbia! The only word from serbian that is used in english is vampire!

[cullens0318]

lol!at first i thought she didnt speak my language!dont ask y.but she does speak my language

[dirtyMRD]

uitandu ma la toti concurentii....sincer...in afara de anglia nu mi a palcut NIMENI.

elena chiar a avut tot: look impecabil,foarte frumoasa,coregrafie dragutza,voce!!

chiar le a avut p toate

[Zetsupwnage]

stii ce na avut? versuri pt persoane care au si creier, nu numai pula si bani.

[annamarrya1]

ce mai coregrafie ;))..cf mah stergeti cu elena pe jos :)) ?

[cullens0318]

wow.she doesnt even speak my language n i already love it!

[iuzzuliku]

she don't do playback....that voice was baking vocal...WTF? elena you are the best i love you:*:*:*

[mishkline]

hey...at the end when the crowd cheers..you can see aflag of israel being waved...

GO ISRAEL!

[kayserlikiz18]

wow the best song ever

[claud281188]

for all dumbheads saying stupid things...search the first rehearsal....you will see there how Elena is singing and Lucia, the backing, is ...just STAYING there doing nothing, but sing her own parts of the song....like "live your life" ...and so on!!!

[gooengvoi]

Bultyfull Girl Good song Good Job

Big Kiss From Thailand

[katrin6789]

he stop leave her alone... xD

[IaraGhost]

how many times do i have to say the woman in the back is her baking vocal

some people can't get that in they'r head she is singing with elena 1:20-1:30

live her alone

elena paparizou won in 2005 from greece she had a baking vocal too and she wasn't even on stage

[MirajSonic]

Since when is it illegal to have backing vocals ?! Elena IS the lead singer. The woman in the blue dress wouldn't look good with the show, that's why she's in that corner :).

[lordkilla55]

There was a big conspiracy thing about it, Elena was the lead singer, but people like Graham Norton said the girl in the blue dress did it, which was lies :o

[mineabm]

the backing singer is on stage, stupid. that is the the stage. the director said it would be nice if the backing vocal not to be seen in the cameras (not on the stage) because she is static in comparison with the rest of the performancers. And ... 50% of the singers used backing vocals that are nbot seen on tv. see for example Russia (the girl had 5 backings, how many did you see?)

[mariusiosif66todea]

bagami-as ceva in politia din Tg Mures...!corupti....sper ca bucurestiul sa vada ce se petrece aici....!

[antirrom]

Muie !!!

[LuviinTwilight]

Elena was singing...the girl in back is her baking vocal...

[epicurandreams]

as ifff

[dia19tm]

and another thing. watch your language. it's a public site

[epicurandreams]

i still cant belieev its not her singing!! that poor woman at the side!!!!! thats just soo harsh! talk about looks obsessed!!!

[dia19tm]

you can't believe it cause it's not true. Elena sang not "the poor woman at the side"

[epicurandreams]

BITCH! it so was the poor woman at the side! and dont take that tone with me!! "Elena sang!" yeh a funny version of singing where you move ur slaggish gob and another person puts in the words.. check ur facts mate she DIDNT sing

[dia19tm]

thank you that's very delicate.maybe you should stick to the things you know .Check the facts.Listen to other songs of hers and you will recognize her voice(whitch btw differs from person2person) and then we'll talk some more.

[lordkilla55]

Maybe you should check yours idiot, she did fucking sing.

[s1ncr0n]

mai buna republica moldova ... v-o recomand

[randox16000]

imi place

[keepmeupdated]

what does she sing after "like no body" and before "lights"

[katrenagel]

"The groovy light will shine all night"

[claud281188]

"for crowd delight we'll shine all night" !

[claud281188]

"for crowd delight we'll shine all night"!

[karvelait]

[MissLadyCris]

[SaNdWoLf93]

our music is good

don't forget Mihai Treistariu won the fourth place :D

[mrmolappin]

I actually thought this was a very good song

mike from scotland

[lottevarcoe]

where does her left foot slip?

[OhSooAngelic]

rite at the end, when they all go down and she sits down its one of the girls at the front x

[OhSooAngelic]

what makes me laugh is the romanian people or people who think its cool to diss english people. we all have our own opinions you fools, why do you think they let you leave comments? so before you go accusing " Stupid English People" get your stories straight ay ;) didnt think about that did you, imbacils.
