LOOKS LIKE SAILOR MOON LIVE ACTION!!
Very cute song indeed!!!
by the way..I loved this song a lot...adorables ces fillettes..
competition is about real life:-))
To Owen,
Competition is always good for kids if the rules are respected:-))
There is a lot of fun too in this kind of event, they are making a treap into another coutry, discover other cultures and they meet children from all over the Europe..it's more like cool , don't you think....maybe they will never be stars , but it is not the point :-)))..
(sorry for my bad english..hope you understand..)
.this is less stupid than beauty contest for kids in USA :-)))lol
Sanio
In what way exactly is JESC preparing them for later life? What on earth does standing on a stage at the age of 10 to sing a (usually) completely inappropriate songs, with the hopes of an entire nation on your shoulders REALLY helping these kids prepare for the REAL WORLD, a world in which most of them will never reach their goal to be international pop stars ect.
Sports competitions are completely different, for the vast majority of sports you need to start practicing and preparing for a POSSIBLE sports career at a VERY VERY young age! 13 is probably the OLDEST you should start if you really want to be successful. Sports improve a child's fitness as well as being HEALTHY competition, also if a potential sports person fails to be particularly successful there is always the opportunity to either help other children reach the goal they did not, or enter lower level sports competitions. A song contest does not help a child physically or mentally and the competition between the children would not be healthy because the winner is basically down to who is the cutest at the end of the day! You see this frequently happening in JESC, there is a reason why children over the age of 13 RARELY do well in that competition, and its because its not even really a SONG CONTEST its a child beauty pagent! A song contest such as this only gives the children an unnatural sense of self-importance and pushes them towards HUGE amounts of stress at a very young age! it also gives them false hope about how big they will actually be as adults! We have seen it happen far to often, child stars (particularly in the music business) RARELY make it to adulthood without social and personal problems!
the Junior Eurovision Song Contest organisers and the parents of the children should be ashamed of themselves!
What an amazing voice she has got! This song is better than many of the songs in the proper eurovision this year.
its like lena zavaroni has risen from the gave
This is a cute song, they remind me of my daughters, they're born to be on stage.
Well done, Romania!
To Owen:
Competitions are good for kids, and they face it in school, in their house, so.. it is just a way for them to learn about life, and they are NOT too young to know this 10-15 is a perfect age, children are in sports competition and nobody says anything, JESC is even better cause the competition is NOT as hard as a sport competition... and ppl are nicer with them!
@Night Elf
I agree with, people said that they don't like JESC but they watch it.
@sertan_Turkey
If you don't care about JESC, why do you read this article??? your attitude confirm what Night Elf said.
Don't they remind you of Sailor Moon?
Hehe.. good song though!
SOOOOOOOO glad the UK is out of this seriously DODGY contest again this year! BURRRRRRR it gives me the shivers! what good parents would put their child through that much stress and trauma at such a young age!? They should be ashamed of themselves pushing their children to such extremes!!! tut tut
Good job Romania, I knew it you will send something good... That's why this country is one of my favorite in Jesc always... 
Very nice song! Good Luck!
A very good song! 
I DONT CARE ABOUT JESC.
For me JESC is just a bit of fun! I mean, none of the music in it has that much musical merit, however it is entertaining to watch and you just can't take it seriously! 
I think most of ppl here who are saying that they HATE JESC are watching this show every year....than after show they come here and again saying bad stuff about this competition..
I don't get ti, if you don't like it don't watch it, it cant be more simple !!!
Anyway I've heard RTS might be host for JESC (I am not sure is it next year, but it might be) and it would be great...I hope for great show in Cyprus !!!
the jury wasn't shown... that's odd!
and... how the hell the 2 songs had the same score?
Romania choose another OK song. Just like in 2007. Not so bad...
I have to say that JESC is more real than ESC........ I even started to like it better
I miss Spain.
I really hope Russia will not win. Even if the song is the best of all... wait, the countries are choosing their entries before we know, how many there will be? 
I just LOVE Junior Eurovision Song Contest.... And Romania is one of my favorite in tis competition... Can't wait for it !!!
Oh no, you know what this means . . . . . . . . . . the junior eurovision season is starting, OH NO!!!!! Run for cover!!
