At Eurovision

edit

Karolina Gočeva performed ninth on the night of the contest, following Estonia and preceding Israel. At the close of the voting she had received 25 points, placing 19th in a field of 24, thus relegating Macedonia from the 2003 contest.[1] During the performance, Gočeva appeared donning a dress and a golden corsette designed by Aleksandar Nošpal which received praise at the show. In a later review of her performance, Katerina Stevovska of the Macedonian journal Sloboden Pečat opined that Gočeva "perfectly" sang her song.[2]
