North Macedonia NORTH MACEDONIA 2022 - Andrea - Circles

[escYOUnited]

I just want a healthy conversation
Get it right and fix this situation
Everything is crumbling down beneath us
We run around, run around in circles
Tell me, is this our last temptation?
Can we even fix this situation?
Do I listen to my heart or mind, 'cause
We run around, run around in circles
Circles, circles
Oh, circles


You don't wanna test my limits
But something tells me you're not listenin'
Probably, you're going crazy
It's all you've been doing lately
You don't wanna test my limits
I gave you all, but you're not listenin'
Can you stop calling me baby
I've made up my mind already
We're running in circles


I just want a hеalthy conversation
Get it right and fix this situation
Everything is crumbling down bеneath us
We run around, run around in circles
We run around in circles
Ooh, yeah


You don't wanna test my limits
But something tells me you're not listenin'
Probably, you're going crazy
It's all you've been doing lately
You don't wanna test my limits
I gave you all, but you're not listenin'
Can you stop calling me baby
I've made up my mind already, yeah-eah
We're running


You don't wanna test my limits
But something tells me you're not listenin'
Probably, you're going crazy
It's all you've been doing lately
You don't wanna test my limits
I gave you all, but you're not listenin'
Can you stop calling me baby
I've made up my mind already
We're running in circles​

Let's gather here to the premiere of North Macedonia's music video:

THIS SLAPS

 

[Loindici]

First impression: The revamp made it fuller and a bit more 'ethnic'. This is cool.

[hpp0]

Not too much changed with the revamp. It certainly has better production and they made a little less repetitive. I really like the music video tho and extra points for including a train station to the video (I just really like them).

However I still don't really like it. Before it gets to the bridge, it has already got really boring, I thought the song would end there tbh. Unless the performance is really good and has something unique, I don't see it qualifying.

 

[Schlagerman1]

There we go NM, nice job on the revamp. Still got this 90s RnB-feel to it, but with a slightly more modern production, making the whole thing more nostalgic than dated. Andreas voice is so good too, she really hits thos words hard into oneself, just the way it should be in a song like this. Still not a certain qualifier, thinking about two other strong Ex-Yu entries in the same semi (Serbia and Montenegro) but this is in for a shot at least.

 

[Iker]

I have listened to the revamped version (the Music Video) and it's an improvement, this kind of mixing makes it really pleasant to listen to and song got less repetitive but I was hoping for bigger changes in the instrumental.

 

[Gera11]

I see, went for a kitchen-sink revamp, reminds me of in 2020. It feels like a remix of the previously boring "Circles". I'm afraid you can't polish a mediocre song into a great one. The lyrics are starting to annoy me as well. Still, I'll keep my

 

[njdevils94]

It's a good revamp and definitely sounds more complete. Also I love basic DIY music videos. Chances of qualifying have improved for me.

 

[MAD20]

I find myself accidentally singing this song all the time because it is quite catchy. Will it be enough to qualify? I don't think so, but I'm upgrading to 6 points.

 

[crashworld]

She should get her 5000Euros back. Because that's barely a revamp. It's still the same song with added background productions/instrumentals.

For the haters you don't want to mess with Andrea as she knows Muay Thai via ESCunited interview.

I just upgraded it to - it´s not part of my bottom 2!
The song still leaves me cold but the arrangement of the revamped sound is quite "good" - it´s rich in sound and doesn´t sound that amateurish anymore. - I agree with the statement that the middle 8 part still doesn´t flow, though - it sounds like the song wanted to end after the 2nd chorus. It´s still a NQ, though.

 

[ayzelto]

Quite a big improvement here. Upgrading from 4 to 7.

Her weird facial expressions are gone in the new music video.
I count this as an upgrade

 

[mauve]

This song unfortunately leaves me rather cold. It's not bad, but it's nothing I would listen to on daily basis. Remains with 6 points.

 

[crashworld]

Her weird facial expressions are gone in the new music video.

Now watch her bring them back in the 'live' performance in May.

 

[ESC94]

I´m gonna stay with my for this song, it´s still very forgettable.

 

[BorisBubbles]

The revamp made it work for me. Upgrading from a five to a

 

[Carlkva]

This song has something that really works for me, I really really like this, and even through other song releases it's managed to stay in my top 10. The revamp solidified that position, and I think I'll give it an
