My favourite song from Semi Final 2 and probably the best of the ESC 2010. I was completely sure she is going to proceed to the Grand Final simply. The best part is from 2:25 to the end - I get goose bumps every single time. These backing vocalists really built the song. And the red lights in the audience - just beautiful.
