no guessing were the negative comments came from. was a disgrace all the dislikes, vile and unpleasant comments left on youtube. no excuse for it. makes me SO angry
But the song wasn’t even bad. It would have easily qualified and done very well for them. It’s a shame that they are changing the song, let’s hope the new song is just as good. :)
So annoying.
FYROM and Belarus had 2 of my favourite songs this year.
Now they are both changed.
