BURR

I think because they are singing about boys, it would be weird to see boys singing or dancing about boys don't you think??

I'm not usually into JESC but this year I will watch it because I'm curious to see if my favourite will win like it happened in ESC :P

hehe, well i like it, they will do well for sure. I hope Serbia send something cheerful and faster song... Aldo I like last year Nevena Bozovic and "Pisi mi" (version from National final) it was like I said before to mature, and I think lyrics (very great) where to hard for girl of her age. We will see, I am looking foreword to every Eurovision event ;P

Night Elf,
they're singing about a cute boy at school who winked at them and they're wondering if what they feel about him is 'love'...the title 'Whoopie Yia' doesn't mean anything, it's something like lalala.

Ok, I'm officially addicted to this song...LOL
It reminds me of greek music of the 60's :D

another bad thing in JESC is because the childrens must to be from 5 until 15 yo. one child who is 6 or 8 years is not good to competit with one teen 14-15 yo is unfair for both sides beacuse the teen is more mature

I agree, Serbian song for JESC 2007 was to mature.. It was very good song, but I don't think for this kind of festival... Also I think the same for Sweden 2006, to mature, great song, but so not for JESC...
On the other hand this song from Cyprus is really what I think it should be in JESC, I think Cyprus will do well this year.

cyprus song is at least for children, not like last year russian and serbias songs who was very mature for jesc. but i dont know why jesc is alive sinse all the children is interesting only for ESC, especially the children from 10 + are interesting only for ESC. i thing EBU must to make a rule for all the countreys who participate in ESC they must participate also for jesc,beacuse with 17 countreys only nobody cares. also the winner countrey must to host the next contest. JESC need action to go on.

I heard the Romanian and the Russian entries, too and I think Cyprus is much better :D

WOW GREAT SONG. This is good entry, well done Cyprus. All the best for hosting, hope it will be great show.

So far I think it will. ;)

I am kinda surprised cos it's kinda catchy. I have little interest in JESC but this is a million times better than the Russian entry this year

lina,
it's a good song and a good performance and the girls are so cute. I expect them to do quite well!

I actually think this song is quite good. They can hold their voices fairly well (better than most Junior contestants) and it's strangely catchy!

no bad no good, but sure the best from the others songs, and not the winner of JESC, again Cyprus on bottom places :)
