Not sold on this, at all. First off everyone's gonna talk about the words, but i think they could just have changed the whole phrase to Maltese instead. But that's the least problem now.
The new version just seems too agressive, they seem to have stripped out a lot of the details that made the arrangement colorful and rich, and instead there's this annoying synth-trombone sound through the entire song, with barely any other instruments besides harsh and mechanical percussion.
The pre-choruses, which were the musically strongest part of the song, also seem more repetitive in this version, they don't have the advanced dramatic development in the arrangement like the original version did.
The video also seems too "aggressive" and less "fun" than the NF performance. It's like she wants to show that she's "stopped playing" and just wants to seem bitchy and annoying, and it doesn't work for me at all.
I hope they don't change too much in the staging, i thought it was really good as it was, but i have a feeling it's gonna focus entirely on her and end up a bit empty on the ESC stage.
