[Celia]

Have you notices the accent ?
At first I thought he sang his song in Turkish, I didn't understand... Then I recognized some words...

You can tell when they haven't got a clue and learn the sounds by heart. Same thing with
I don't like it but I expected a worse staging. It's not spectacular but not tacky either.

 

[Jopi]

It was a good staging. I really liked this choreography with the love triangle (I can see it like that... )
Hopefully, because the whole song is quite boring in my opinion. At least I followed what was going on in this box.

One of the best performances in whole ESC history. I am just speechless. Baku 2014 is very possible options

Good jub guyz

 

[Mrm]

So Esc, so yuck! And that guy in the box..what a stupid thing..

 

[Nicholas123]

Very effective stage performance!!!!

Congrats! Still not a fan of the song, but qualification was totally deserved!!!!

 

[Yamarus]

Congrats Azerbaijan. Certain top 5 IMO, although it's the performance that does everything, the song isn't as good as I thought.

 

[Luki]

ONE HUGE MEH. Although they proved once again they can create an amazing stage show.

 

[EurovisionSmile]

Great performance and a grower to me! Deserved! Congrats !

Baku 2014 is coming closer

I wonder if the azeri team understand that the stage show is actually homo-erotic? I highly doubt it was the actual intention with the show, but it truly comes across that way for the viewer

The Finnish girl can desperately gimmicky kiss girls on stage, but this was far more risky than that one...

The song is alright, but I'm still left cold by it...

 

[Matt]

It's an average song that is hidden behind a breathtaking performance. Azerbaijan is really good at what they're doing but this will never be anywhere near my Top. Sabina was way better in 2012.

 

[eugoose]

^ Agreed. I loved Sabina.

Farid just feels a bit...naive, and although the concept behind the staging was great, I found the dancer to be very distracting. I feel like it's Week 4 of Azerbaijani X-Factor when I Watch Farid's performance.

I also wondered as well if they were aware of how gay everything looked

To answer my own question... i'm sure they were These things work, they get votes.

I agree with what you said about the song. It's alright but I don't have urges to listen to it. Performance worked out very well for this though and was something different. So well done Azerbaijan.

Thank you, Farid!!!

Azerbaijan got a good draw - #20, yay!

I sort of agree, but wouldn't call it breathtaking. It's a nice song hidden behind a much greater performance.
