Nice. Kakva lepa pesma. Bilo je toliko dobrih pesama na Eurosongu koje su zaboravljene. Vratite nam Belorusiju i Rusiju na takmiÄenje. š¤šš
Three legend cameramen on the same stage. Karsten on a Segway, Swedish legends Johan Sandklef and master crane operator Kristian Ćryd. The perfect mix.
How the hell did this not qualify

1:59 the legendary shot you were looking for
That stedicam shot is better than the actual song!
I echo the comments on how this should have qualified. It is a more than decent overall package.
Still listen to this regularly, the performance was great too except for may be the guitarist's expressions.
Belarus will be free one day ššš
