I absolutely agree with Mr Eurovisionary!!!
gjoko taneski is a serious and professional musician. eurovision only wasn't the right thing for him I guess. I like his songs.
why all that years FYRO Macedonia didnt give us interesting songs ? I thing is the only countrey who since 1995 send average to aufull songs !! Only 2004 song have something interesting .
his escsong was dreadful , and the rap part? *yak* but i liked his sexy dancers !!!
+++ i congratulate him for coming second in this festival...
I really liked his ESC entry. Much better than the similar Bosnia&H. I believe FYRM failed mostly from the performance (I didn't understand the point of the girls), and Gjoko is not too photogenic himself. He needed a stylist at lease. With this stage presentation he had, the song needed to be in English. Otherwise a normal band set-up would have worked better.
I like this song very much !! Congratulations Gjoko !! It was very nice to met him in Oslo !!
Norwegian bloke
Of course when Skopje fest is the most corrupted NF festival in whole Europe! 
nice song. better than his esc entry.
Well........... I should may shut up, because I, definately, has nothing else to say than: Well... Sad to see that Vlatko Lozanoski passed by in peace here
