this song sounds too serious for a junior ESC..i do not like it, but i lso do not like the ides of a JESC
Monika!
All the best to you from Russiaa!!!!
lina,
yes, I know and I think it's a good idea.
@Mina, from this year the rules for voting in JESC is 50% jury and 50% televoting ( maube to see what going to happen with that voting method and make it also for ESC ), and in jury should include children.
i thing EBU must to make a rule that if one countrey want to participate to ESC must to join also to JESC, beacuse only with 17 countreys in JESC nobody cares and in the near future Jesc is going to stop for sure. at the begining Spain, UK, norway,denmark, poland, croatia, sweden and switzerland was in to jesc but beacuse of low watching numbers of the people they stop
Thats quite a good idea actually. It could probably work, because the kids will see themselves getting points from everybody and not be so down-hearted even if they do finish last. 
The current system is stupid because at the moment every kid starts with 12 points automatically, but I think the kids are clever enough to see through that!
Jonny,
I'm thinking that the JESC system should go like this: every country should get 1 point at least.
Say there are 17 countries. There should be points from 1 to 17.
I'm not sure if this could work though.
I think the problem is with JESC, is that it someone has to finish last. And for kids, it must be awful to finish last. For adults its probably different because they can see the funny side of it, but for children, it must be awful to finish last, or even worse, get no points. 
This is why I think the idea of JESC is a good one, but it needs a different format. I dont think that there should be the usual 1-8,10,12 points. For JESC I think there should just be one jury who just pick one winner, and then there is no last place etc.
What was the selection method? Jury vote or televoting?
God will give Monika strength to help her achieve her goal in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
I've decided I wont listen to any JESC songs until I watch the show . . . . but I think I know the winner will be Russia, Belarus or Armenia anyway!!
Hello to all you Moldavians here in the chart!
Nice voice but I don't like the song, it's boring.
