It's not a very interesting song for me. But Romania can qualify even with this. Bit disappointed....

Solid song and performance by Voltaj. Is it winning material? Of course not. But I also don't think it is as bad as some people make it out to be here. I expect a similar result for Romania as in previous years. The EBU has been really kind to them since the introduction of the pre-determined running order (last in 2013 and 2014, second to last this year). 2015 will be a continuation of Romania finishing somewhere in the middle of the scoreboard (12 to 18).

I see it in the scoreboard somewhere between the 18 and 20, their performance was ok. Calin still doesn't convince me anyhow (he insists on the message but he sings it like a bored man, lacking emotion- yesterday more than ever I would say) but I believe he and the band deserved the ticket. He has a clear voice and singing in your own language, this year, seems to be a plus.

I disagree, I think he especially transmits emotion through his voice and mimics. I personally liked the performance, but indeed I don't have big expectations on Saturday. 15th may be our highest ranking considering the rest of the contenders.

Romania is the closest to alter.rock this year and with all the fans of the genre that might not be hardcore esc fans, but still watch and vote, I'm not surprised it is through. Musically it's been my favorite song since I heard it (especially the english version) and I talked to four other friends and they all said it was one of their favorites, if not a favorite yesterday.

This was robbery. Ultra boring streamlined middle of the road stuff, others deserved it more.

I´m glad that they made it!

As I already mentioned, they are in my TOP 5.

They had a nice performance last night. It was kinda underwhelming in comparison to some other acts, but it was still very genuine, honest, and I think that the qualification is deserved.

That's interesting, because I think he conveys emotion very well with his voice. I could feel the mix of sadness and hope. The minor vocal flaws I hear in the chorus actually help in that.

I liked how they sounded in the rehearsals better though, because in the actual performance, hearing the background voice doubling the melody in the chorus was kind of a detraction... *shrugs*

I'm happy this song made it forward!
