Looks terrible for some reason! The song is good but i think that it does not deserve to qualify!

Change the dress, good vocals today.
Succes zuiderburen, A Matter of Time is van hoge kwaliteit. Initially I didn't like this as much as I did with City Lights, but this is definitely has quality (and to qualify).

I'm also disagreeing I thought it looked okay to. But I'm still afraid in won't qualify.

Everyone seems to hate it but... This is quite decent, isn't it?

so the second snippet makes the staging make a bit more sense (i expect heavy camera work and lighting to give it a mood) and the dress even looks less atrocious now... but they decided to make a snippet right out of when her "i am afraid of cotton balls, next on maury" chorus face/voice returned ;_; sennek just can't win with the fans

i will choose to believe all the people who said her rehearsal was generally good for now because, well, i want to

She is surrounded by some top male acts, at this point with Czechia almost certainly qualiyfing, Albania might overshadow her.

She should look like in the music video, not like Lucie. Not good. Not good at all.

Next to Netherlands, Belgium is for me the most disappointing live act after the rehearsals. They both are in my top 10, but they simply don't reach me. :( Senneks voice unfortunately isn't as strong as in the original Video. Live she isn't as impressing.

the beginning looks INCREDIBLE and she sounds great in the first chorus

she just needs to make less faces really

I really would like to know how that was possible. Everybody said that filming in the arena was forbidden.
I hope that channel doesn't get punished for releasing this video. (They have one from Netta's rehearsal, too, by the way.)

But back to Sennek: My admiration for her rises with every rehearsal snippet and every interview I see with her.
In my personal, small and meaningless ESC world, this is a winner song with a very strong performance. I love it, all of it.

You spelled I hope it gets top 10 in the final wrong :p

The official rehearsal clip was kinda underwhelming tho :/

Before all the songs were out this was my number 1. It's still in my top 10... but it has been dropping a bit. The song is good, her song is very interesting and really suites the song. But her live vocals are not pitch perfect. Her dress is xfacepalm( and normally I really dont care about dresses, believe me). The staging is not helping a lot.
All in all: still in my top 10, but no longer top 3.
