What I don't get is how any stage director could possible stage something like this, in the belief that it would benefit Sennek...? I mean what was the deal with the inclusion of the audience...? My sister thought it was a song trying to be fun and positive lol due to that

This is sadly the worst staging of the year
and one of the worst stagings I've ever seen in Eurovision

I nailed it with my prediction that she would not qualify. But that was solely based on the song, that for me, was too sleepy and tried to hard to sound clever.

The staging was the nail on the coffin. All these smiles and eye expressions were super creepy, and that was the only thing that eventually happened on stage. Corpse bride realness.

I'm not an expert (that's for sure), but i think, that her voice was not good that night

Most overrated song of 2018; how this was so high up in OGAE I'll never understand. It's bland and boring, and deservedly did not qualify.

A bit like when Latvia was a heavily favoured in 2010 ("What For"). It never stood a chance.
Or perhaps it was just a big gay hit. I remember all the gays loving it.

"What for?" remains a great song to this day, it's just that the performance was tragic...

Only Mr. God knows?

Nah. Horehronie was all the rage that year! There I can understand the performance pulled it down somewhat...

7 pts - good entry, amazing verses, flawless arrangement but the chorus can be a bit off-putting to some since her voice is very "distinctive" in some parts. The vocally weak and visually poor performance didn't really help either to make the audience connect to a great entry.

Staging really messed up this amazing song xcry

Not only the Staging is the Problem, Laura is a weak Livesinger and an even weaker Liveperformer, her Outfit was ridiculous plus the Song isnt instant enough.I can totally get why the Juries had her that high, but Im also not too surprised by the Televoting. I guess her overall Result makes sense.

I'm not very picky about vocals and I thought she sounded great on the night, but that's just me probably :rolleyes:
Yes, I did fear that she wouldn't qualify due to that ridiculously strong semi but still... *sighs*

Staging messed this up and I don't understand what the idea from the stage director was really :?

Her high notes made my ears bleed to be honest.
I think "a matter of Time" would have qualified with a good singer.

She shouldnt have quit her Job at IKEA to be honest. She wont come far with Music tbh.
Nonetheless I wish her the Best of Course.
