Ok, she was very lucky to make it through with a vocal performance like that. She better sing better in the final or she could wind up in the bottom 5 unfortunatly.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Fantastic penformance with some problems in the vocals not of Ivi's I think but the back vocals weere gonig extremely high and they are going in to Ivi's voice and the result was wishable.

If we fix this in the final we can have a place in the TOP 5 !

1) YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY WE MADE IT! WE ARE IN THE FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2) She did sound bad today (from the middle of the song onward), and I can see that she had a lot of stress, also she had a cold as somebody mentioned yesterday, and with all the dancing she was out of breath. The back vocalists sounded bad too! In the rehearsals, she sounded much much much better! So, I believe in the final she can do it again!

I think they got saved by the 12 from Greece, otherwise they would have stayed in the semi :evil:

what a forgetable song :evil:

i strongly disagree with u!! if u have said that the performance tonight was not up to par then ud be right but its def not a forgetable song. the belgian ballad WAS a forgetable song, as well as the hungarian one!

Congratulations Cyprus, you were one of my favourites tonight, and unlike the others I think Ivi did very well and it is a very deserving qualification.....

OMG Ivi sounds horrible tonight, and sorry but for me this was far the weakest performance tonight (together with San Marino).

The problem is in the back vocalists I think.Also Ivi had a lot of stress, in the night of the final I believe will not have(and this was only tonight for a qualifing stress).and give her best self.

I was worried after watching the rehearsals which why I took a big risk by predicting non qualification for Cyprus and the live performance was pretty bad, too. So I almost expected failure (not due to my personal taste) but Europe liked it well enough and I'm very happy for Cyprus and I know this song has a lot of supporters so I wish you the best of luck in the Finals, you've got some work ahead of you though.

Yeah, so she didn't deserve to qualify based on that performance. LOOOVE the song, but it was the worst vocal performance of the night. I bet Cyprus got 10th place and barely qualified. Ivi is VERY lucky that she qualified at all. If she sounds as bad on Saturday, we may have our 26th finisher.

I'm so glad you were wrong! :D

And yes, we got some work ahead, they better fix the vocal problems, as somebody mentioned above, it was the qualifying stress, in the final she will not have it!)

All in all a very disappointing performance (awful vocals, unflattering make-up, unfitting choreography). :( I think the song itself might have just saved this from disaster.

Yes, I too think it was the song itself that got most of the votes. Surely voters were not swayed by the vocals, or (in my opinion) facial expression of Ivi. What I really dislike are fake smiles etc. and she showed too much of that during the performance, especially in the first seconds :(
I don't dislike the song itself.

Overall it looked like a failure, almost like an over the top caricature. I'm slightly surprised that it got through, I'm happy for the fans.

somebody tell her make up artist, the white pale foundation + mega-red rose lipstick colour weren't matching great
but still her beauty shines through and lots of fans love her. Go.. Ivi!

Btw I hate the facts that Anggun is side by side again with Ivy in the finals. I love both songs..
