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​

Actually, was I the only one rooting for Flower of Sorrow? It's such a beautiful song, I don't understand how it could get less votes than Flying to Berlin lmao

Same ! Unbelievable

 

[Iker]

I find Circles kinda too flat sonically and altogether forgettable. I think it badly needs a revamp, for now I'll give only 5 points in the poll. I am also slightly discouraged by her vibratto-ish vocals.

 

[I bims]

Well it was one of the best in the line-up I guess. But it's still just a for me.
Don't know how I feel about Superstraight losing. I mean it's good that it lost but also... would've been hilarious to see it flop. This will just be a non-qualifier that will be forgotten.

I dont understand why they chose that song. for sure we will not see north macedonia in the final. i give 2 points.

 

[Mrm]

Who's giivng those 0s!?

 

[mauve]

Not bad, but not good either. 6 pts for now.

 

[Ezio]

Why they let juries break they tie? Honor the televoters who bothered to spend money

 

[Ezio]

Circles gives me Roxen vibes, just not as good. A dark theatrical staging might kill its slim chances for the Final.

 

[jatojo]

I'm not to sure how this song will sound on the Eurovision stage. The way she's singing - it doesn't seem natural to her.

The bookmakers don't have must trust in the song either. Maybe Superman would have been a better pick after all (terrible song, but it's making itself heard).

 

[Mrm]

Ahahahaha my friend from Prilep, North Macedonia has just sent me!!
Supermanmania!!

 

[BorisBubbles]

Superman
Circles
Love and Light
Flying to Berlin
Flower of Sorrow
Dreams

RIP King Viktor but i can't blame NoMac for picking the only viable song in the selection. "Circles" is fine. points for now, and consider revamping it into something more eye-catching than it currently is.

 

[Mainshow]

I hate the chorus. There.. I said it... I hate it how unnatural it sounds with all these long notes.
"listeniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing", "crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyy", "latelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy", "babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-yyy", alreadyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" - also the beat before the 2nd chorus drops is incredibly cheap and worn-out and dated.

Apart from that, the overall value of the production is alright, I guess and she has a great voice.

for now?

I also don't know why countries think thats a good idea as well. I call it the Manel-curse - they're always losing out with this.

 

[NikolaiMoller]

ok this is a mood - well done

 

[RainyWoods]

I had a feeling this one would take it. Considering how limp the chorus of Flowers of Sorrow was, Circles felt the best option for the contest along with Dreams, unless they wanted to risk going the meme route with Superman. Andrea's song is ok. I enjoy it more towards the end than the beginning. The final minute ramps things up well. There's something about the synths on it that I like. They need to work I think on making the song more instant somehow as right now I feel this is the perfect example of a typical grower.

Will give a careful at this moment.

 

[Mrm]

That playback after she won, gave me life!

 

[94ayd]

What a meh song, sure non-qualifier when they had Superman, the only one that could potentially attract televote points was robbed.

 

[goncalovieira]

It needs some Darko Dimitrov powers.

 

[Zorjan]

I really love the fact that it doesn't sound like any other bland Eurovision-song like so many other North Macedonian entries
However, it does sound like any other bland song that would be playing on the radio when it's too late for anyone to listen anyway
Not good, not bad, just meh...
