  • I love this song as much as I love New York.

  • I heard this ob 9-11-11 and a bunch of kids were singing it to fire fighters and police men in New york and i really liked the song, but I didn't know the name and I got really mad cause I wanted to hear it again. By the way did you ever notice that 911 is really 9-11

  • @12Lezzy yea a lot of people know that 911 is really 9-11 and thats really cool how all those kids were singing this song to all the fire fighters and police men because of what they did to save as many people from the twin towers.

  • Wiki quote: Macedonia (i /ˌmæsɪˈdoʊniə/ mas-i-DOH-nee-ə; Macedonian: Македонија), officially the Republic of Macedonia (Република Македонија, transliterated: Republika Makedonija

    End of discussion please..

  • @anderstoft92 Macedonia or Macedon (from Greek: Μακεδονία, Makedonía) was an ancient kingdom, centered in the northeastern part of the Greek peninsula..After the conquests of Alexander the Great, it became the most powerful state in the world and it inaugurated the Hellenistic period of Ancient Greek civilization.It seems that the first Macedonian state emerged in the 8th or early 7th century BC under the Argead Dynasty, who migrated to the region from the Greek city of Argos in Peloponnesus

  • i like it better with no rapping

  • Nunca quis tanto ir a Nova York.... eles passam a alma da cidade pra ti, em apenas duas musicas.

  • Regarding the "standard of illiteracy" - I assume that is from an English subscriber - as I am.

    For goodness sake, take the song as it is - excellent and stop being so bloody stuffy!

  • I just love this song and performance. It stirs up some emotions in me and that is what I look for in music I listen to.

  • Must have lyrics written by an american. The standard of illiteracy is unsurpassed.. Congratulations at being so good at that..

  • @BWFSabian

    God sake give it a rest! Its a bloody song - stop being so petty minded

  • i just love alicia...

  • @CekeFan1Dulce Macedonia in greece you mean?

  • @VictoriaKarma91 Hmm,Noo Macedonia is not in Greece, Its a country nexxtt to Greece though, and next to Serbiaa Kosovo and Albania :) ...I dont think u know it, hehe itss not a popular country, nothing interesting

  • @CekeFan1Dulce Well it's pretty intersting since you're referring to FYROM...I don't blame you,but they got the whole history messed up....If you can't read and understand ancient macedonian then no..you don't live in Macedonia :)

  • @VictoriaKarma91 lol :PP ....

    Hmm,Well since i live here (in Macedonia) i do know to read and right in Macedonian:D

  • @CekeFan1Dulce ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ?

    ΤΟΤΕ ΑΠΑΝΤΗΣΕ ΜΟΥ ΓΙΑΤΙ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΚΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΤΑ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ...Η ΑΝΑΜΕΙΞΗ ΤΟΣΩΝ ΧΩΡΩΝ ΣΑΣ ΕΧΕΙ ΠΕΙΡΑΞΕΙ ΣΤΟΝ ΕΓΚΕΦΑΛΟ...

  • @CekeFan1Dulce And if you really had to create a new country you should at least change the name of it...the name macedonia exists for hundreds of years,your country only some decades...If you don't know what you're talking about then at least don't talk about it at all...

  • @VictoriaKarma91 Haha за она што ви се зборува? (thiss is macedonian nott what ur talking aboutt that shit)...Hmmm and WOOW what a bitchh,first of all i wasntt even talking to youu AND lol how can i not know the name of my countryy, I do Live in Macedonia honey, but if u dont know it its not my faulttt...U can not know better then mee for what im talking about, why would i make up a countryy?

  • @VictoriaKarma91 Lmaooo ''.the name macedonia exists for hundreds of years,your country only some decades..'' Thiss is sureee funnyy hahahahahhaha ..it madde me laughhh,cause i knoww that were i live and u think that im making up...It just makes u look (sound) Pathetic :D :D

  • @CekeFan1Dulce Making it up??It's on wikipedia and every encyclopedia in this world honey,but I doubt you know what that even means...Your lack of knowledge is what makes those horrible mistakes in human history...I feel sorry for your country that doesn't have any history and has to steal someone else's to exist,but that's not how it works...I'm sorry,but I can't continue this...I'm just sorry...As Alexander the great said "Ό,τι δεν λύεται κόπτεται." but I bet you don't know what that says...

  • @VictoriaKarma91 BLA BLA BLA BLAAA , just write SKOPJE in google and ull see what will come outt, dont judge me u asshole, ur no shitt to tell me from where i am.... Would it be normall if i said to you that ur not from ***** whatever,if u said u weree? Pff ur probably from a junglee....Ur no people ur an animal...At least ur atittude says itt :) Byee

  • @CekeFan1Dulce You really don't get it don't you?..I never tried to tell you from were you are,as you correctly said your country is SKOPJE not MACEDONIA...I didn't say you're not from there what I said is tha you used the wrong NAME...The fact you're cursing instead of talking like a grown person proves me right...No jungle here,propably you're the one living in one,Tarzan...

  • @VictoriaKarma91 O.M.G ....u still dont get ittt....My countryy is Macedoniaaaa and SKOPJE is the capital cityy ...get itt? Thats why i saidd write SKOPJE at google and u will see that the map of SKOPJE,MACEDONIA will show out...Andd hmm yeahh TARZAN , good onee :D :P Lool

  • @CekeFan1Dulce You still haven't figured out your country's name and you want me to know it for sure?And by the way what Macedonia actually means honey?Do you have any clue?No you don't cause you're just using the name of another place...And thank you for not answering any of my questions about the origin of your country,you're still proving how clueless you are...

  • @VictoriaKarma91 GOD DAMMIT!!! He IS from Macedonia, and I can recognize that by his nickname, for I also am from Macedonia. BTW, you need to get some History lessons, because Macedonia had the only undefeated King in History. So, you are the one who is proving how clueless YOU are.

  • @thEsainT1337 You mean Greek Macedonia...and before you start argueing and saying you are a macedon,please tell me what macedonia means and if you can read ancient macedonian understand and translate them.....You can't....

  • @VictoriaKarma91 Macedonia is the god damn country -.- And besides, can you read and understand the ancient language of whatever country you are born in. And what the hell do you mean by Greek Macedonia, Greece was captured by King Philip II... Your logic fails miserably...

  • @thEsainT1337 Nope Ancient greece was like united states...Lot's of states forming a country...They all spoke ancient greek and believed in greek gods...Philip didn't capture greece.he wanted to unite macedonia with all the other greek states because they had loosen relationships at his time....So you understand ancient greek?Because that's the language Philip and Alexander used....What does alexander mean?what does philip?what does macedonia?what does voukefalas???Do you have any clue??

  • @VictoriaKarma91 I already know that there were more states. Athens, Sparta... And, no, they didn't speak Greek or believe in their gods. They had their own language. Phillip II used the arguments between the states, and there were those who believe he was the one who will unite them, and those who saw him as an enemy. The latter were lead by Demosten from Athens, and still they fell to Phillip II. He was going to help them in the battle against Persia, but got assassinated while preparing.

  • @thEsainT1337 NO they spoke GREEK...Their names are greek....I ask you again do you know what Alexander or Alexandros as it is correct means or Philippos or Macedonia?those are all greek names they have meaning in greek cause ancient and modern greek are the same...Alexandros spoke greek tehir coins discovered later have greek letters.Just because they taught you different in your country doesn't mean it's correct.And I ask you again do any of these names have an actual meaning in your country?

  • @VictoriaKarma91 Just because they taught me different in my country doesn't mean its correct?? RIGHT BACK AT YA!! You still keep on saying that without any evidence or proof. And no, they are just names, they do not have a meaning.

  • @thEsainT1337 No it's not wrong because of that.It's because every historic evidence proves you wrong...You need evidence?I've been to the ruins of Alexandros palace and I could read and understand every single word they had on it cause it was greek..Aleksandros means a man that can defeat another man,phillipos means a person that loves horses,macedonia means a place were tall men live,voukefalas,alexandros horse means big head,Alexandros talked aelical greek!need more??

  • @VictoriaKarma91 And you probably just got that from Wikipedia. BTW, your grammar sucks.

  • @thEsainT1337 Wikipedia doesn't have this stuff,I propably got that by speaking greek φιλος του ιππου=ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΣ αλεξ+ανδρας=ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ μακ+εδνος=ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ βους+κεφαλι=ΒΟΥΚΕΦΑΛΑΣ....Lack of arguments leads to insulting.. My grammar is bad cause I speak greek as a native language not english...I'm sure I can write better in greek but you wouldn't understand it...Alexandros and philippos would but you no...On the other hand check wiki if you wish it states ancient macedonia as a greek state :)

  • @thEsainT1337 Lol leave it ...She/He is stupiiid...Cant understand anything lol

  • @CekeFan1Dulce Yeah, no sense of freaking logic :S

  • @thEsainT1337 :):):)

  • @thEsainT1337 Να πάτε και να γαμηθείτε κ τα δυο σας μαλακισμένα αμόρφωτα
