I like this song, this should do well better than crappy Israel.
Strong is the word, yes. Just you wait and see 
Strong ? This song ? You're having a laugh aren't you ??? .... it's about as strong as a papier mache flood barrier in New Orleans .....
@Laila
LOL LOL "no replies" - really?
Very nice try. But when you tried to twist my words, you forgot one thing: I didn`t say anything bad about Russia, did Ì? So what`s the problem?
I just love them !! Paula you should wear a red dress and Ovi a dark sute !:-) the piano thing is just you but maybe you should work a little bit to the chemestry between you at the end of the song .. fire and love fight :-))
@Dolly Duck
It's always funny to see sad people not handling other peoples opinions being different to theirs and therefore throwing around ridiculous and false arguments like yours. I do not fear the Romanian entry because I think it is BAD and one of the worst they've had. Quite sad to see you being incapable of understanding not everyone likes it just because you do.
@loredana maseluta
Russia has the best song this year, that is my opinion. Romania chose one of the worst in their NF - that is also my opinion.
--- NO REPLIES ---
It is alway funny to see how rude some people could get when they fear competition from a stronger entry. And Romania is strong this year, maybe even the best entry from them ever. But Russia, on the other hand.... well, enough said about that
@laila
loool if i were you i would be more woried about the Russian entry...let romania in peace cause they can do it better !
Here's my idea for them: Go home and give Zero your ticket to Oslo instead!
The performance obviously needs to be build around the fire theme and the pianos. But they shouldn't sit too long behind them and move towards the audience. Well I am sure there are many interesting ways to create a lively performance. Maybe the pianos could hang in the air first and slowly move down or something. The should also perfom it as someking of communication between the two singers - like the lyrics suggest and then involve the public during the last part, like Bilan did in 2008 with his " I believe in you part ". Ok that's it...having good vocal skills, nice dresses, good backing singers ect. goes without saying I guess.
too bad INNA is not interested in eurovision 
@ro mania
no im not,sorry.
I love you Romania!!!!!
I hope I'm not late.
Take some Luau dancers, and peope with sticks on fire.
Ditching the piano? Listen to what they are saying in this interview, then you will understand why the piano needs to stay.
And just to have mentioned it: The ESC rules don`t allow the artists to play live, it is a SONG contest. Therefor only the singing part is live. So it really doesn`t matter if the step away form the piano for a bit.
@Rita Belindarian
Some use talented scandinavian song witers as a tactic and some a few baby apricot trees to plant across europe 
What can you do?? this world seems to be based on gimmicks 
@ Loredana

Its sooo beautiful song
This interview is very full of energy and the reporter is very funny and great making good and funny questions
Bravo Aris
I really love their voices and i am looking forward for theis remix
@ Rita: Rybak is not not from Belarus. He was born there, but is raised in Norway.
the song has parts at the piano....is like you imagine alex rybak singing without violins..... has no sense! live or not the piano is the key of the song...
@francisco
probably you are!
I like this duo. I think it was a wise desicion to have this entry for Romania. It is adding some colourful act to ESC 2010. Good luck from Azerbaijan!
