I don't really understand how the juries would put it in top 3, when they burried Francesco, Il Vollo, Sergey Lazarev, they were all less cringy( not at all of course).

Same here! My number one never won in the past few years, so I know that this year would be the same. 
But it always comes near victory.

The more I listen to it, the more I start deeply hating the hype around this song.
Besides, I do think that her performance was below average tonight, she was quite off-key and her vocals weren't as strong as I thought beforehand. I'm so upset.

Only deaf haters can't admit how great she was and how she rocked the stage in every possible way there is.

I'm deaf then. I think she sounded rather weak. Can't see the juries going for it if she performs similarly in Lisbon.

Well, the problem is not her voice, but I don't see juries voting for chicken song and sound, simply, it doesn't seem reasonable enough! Without it, yes, but it really does look cheap like that. When they didn't love opera from Italy in 2015 ( one of main favorites back then), how can they go for this?! Bulgaria will more likely be their winner, and they will be high in televote.

Being salty is the only way in which you can express your opinion or?

So this is supposed to be the winner this year?

Come on. Belarus will be exactly the same on stage. Just the dude, just failing at 90% of the notes, just trying to sing that trainwreck of a song they call a revamp.
Netta has moneys, has a team behind her, I expect dancers and backing vocalists so the chorus won't suck like it did today.
She slayed the looper part, the chicken noises and all the dangerous notes at bridge and in the end.
Verses were meh, she was too lazy to sing them properly, chorus was really bad (indeed they're not winning with it like that).
The eurovision performance will be nothing like this one except the looper, chicken sounds and Netta. I hope they improve cause I've been expecting much much much more and I got mediocre performance. She sucked at some parts of the song and she rocked some of them.

Instead of calling people deaf, why won't you play the video from today and try to play the song on a virtual piano or something, or just play video version in the background. That's the easiest way to check she both sucked and rocked in these 3 mins. Claiming otherwise is just pointless imho.

And whole world gone crazy for this?! I mean, I don't even consider it bad, it is average good catchy song, but it is far from masterpiece, like everyone, but everyone is claiming.

Yes, that is true. I don't even hate it, like i've said, I just don't find it to be so spectacular, and it is not winning song, but I would be ok with whoever will win this anyway.

It's certainly not just the "haters" that are having problems with Netta's pre-party performance here. Her song is somewhere in my top three, but her performance was a concern for me.
There were certainly strong parts to it, but her vocals were weak for about half the song, and she seemed to be meandering a lot on stage. In its current form, I'd now say this is headed for more of a Francesco result than a win.
Of course, she's got another month or so to improve things on the live front, but then again so do her competitors. We'll see how things turn out, I suppose.

Well it seems pretty clear this will follow in Italys footsteps, or possibly Romanias. I've never seen this being a Jury fave at all, it's not serious enough and too out there as a song to appeal to them enough to get it the win. I can only imagine it getting success with the televoting.
