Hmm.....sadly I don't really like the revamped version at all as it makes it feel rather dated and I felt that the original is a bit better than this.

Anyways, I predict that this is going to end up more on the right side of the leaderboard.

Chorus is worse due to the increased synth. This means loss of power. We needed more power! The rest is fine. It was always going to come down to the performance anyway, and that's where I see this surprising. I think this is a middle table finisher, but we'll need to wait and see.

Gosh, I've done better amateur videos with my mobile, don't ask me where...
There are not major changes, it's still the same song and I actually like its simplicity, I would get rid of the squeaky effects though. All in all, it's a song that will depend a lot on the staging and the live performance, one thing plays on SuRie's side, she's got charisma and I hope she can show it on stage.

Wow there are a lot of Debbie Downers out there. The revamp is more of tweak, but like the original studio version doesn't really sell the qualities of this song. I think come the Eurovision parties and of course the final this song will come alive like at E:YD. This song is meant to heard in front of an audience, some songs are just like that. I still consider this an interesting outsider in terms of the final and can still see it easily reach left side of the board and maybe at a push top 10, all depending the right circumstances such as where it is in the running order. However, It's still one of my favourites, but I know other songs will place better no matter much worst they are.

Oh boy this revamp is not a step in the right direction, as far as Eurovision is concerned at least. :( I really do like the song, but the way the song has been revamped will help in no way, shape, or form when it comes to attracting votes. In my opinion, the original cried out for a Clean Bandit-style production to really give it some more oomph, but instead we've got some Levina style realness :? It is evident now more than ever that it's so regrettable that we didn't take a chance on Asanda :(

Nonetheless, as I say I do like the song, so my rating stands at 8pt.

Really not impressed by the revamp, if anything they've made it even blander and lowering the key just means it packs less punch. We'll almost certainly be going backwards again this year in terms of results.

I've also tried listening to it a few times to find something pleasant about it, but ... it's just a bad song. Sorry from here too. :(

Definitley one of my growers this year and meanwhile in my top 5 :-) I remember, how angry I have been, with "Legends" not winning the NF, but now I´m really enjoying "Storm".

The revamp made the song sound more professional and modern. I love it.

Doesn't deserve half of the hate it gets from the fans. No offence, but had Saara Alto/Kerli/whoever the fans hype sung it, the feedback would be the exact opposite.

Surie has a great energy and she owns the sage. The song is created for live performance. I really hope she gets a rather good result, because I find many of the songs way worse. This might actually stand out between all these 2010 sounding fast food pop songs, so my hopes are high!

This is really growing on me. Can't quite crack my personal top 10, but it's definitely close.
