Eurovision 2017 – FYR Macedonia

The FYR Macedonia song is called “Dance Alone” and performed by Jana Burčeska.

ARTIST

Jana first rose to fame in FYR Macedonia in 2011 when she appeared on the first and only season of Macedonian Idol. Jana has taken part in more than 60 events supporting disadvantaged people since 2011. In the same year she took on the role of UNICEF Ambassador where she promoted schools free of violence.

Jana debuted in Skopje Fest, the Macedonian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest back in 2012 with the song Bi bila tvoja and immediately caught the attention of the public with her refined and sensitive stage performance and vocals. Participated again in 2013 and 2015 however in those years the contest was not used to select the Macedonian Eurovision Song Contest entry. When Jana was selected for Kyiv she said “My heart skipped a beat when I was told the good news and I have kept on smiling ever since”.

OPINION

It’s fairly funky and with a really good staging this could go down well.

PREDICTION

I think this will qualify simply because there is a lack of upbeat entries this year. I don’t think it will leave the right hand side of the leader board though.

LYRICS

‘Take out my hair, wash off my make up
It’s gonna be a one man show
I got a feel good infatuation
And I’m the only one who knows

I will dance alone
Wherever I am
The rhythm follows
I will dance alone
I’m lost in the sound
Of no tomorrow
I let the pavement be my catwalk
Oh bring the fire on, feel the heat
And all I need to keep on movin’
Is the sound of my heartbeat

I will dance alone
Wherever I am
The rhythm follows
I will dance alone
I’m lost in the sound
Of no tomorrow
I let it go I, I
I let it go wild
I let it go I, I
I let it go wild
I will dance alone
Wherever I am
The rhythm follows

Take me to places that I’ve never been
Show me the faces that I’ve never seen

I will dance alone
Wherever I am
The rhythm follows
I will dance alone
Im lost in the sound
Of no tomorrow
I let it go I, I
I let it go wild
I let it go I, I
I let it go wild

I be dancin’ on my own
Wishin’ you could hold me close…’
