The song isn't that bad but Agnete just can't sing... Just watch her final performance! And what the hell was that "stair gimmick"?? Laila definitely had the better live performance...

Edit: Well "can't sing" was too harsh but she definitely isn't the most confident singer...

Agnete was a completely flawless singer tbh, she hit every single note.

Just a shame the song is a mismatch and it'll probably do well anyway since it's Norway and it's interesting.

I preferred Laila's song though, her performance was very underwhelming and if it couldn't get the votes in Norway, it wouldn't get them at ESC (sorry, not sorry).

'fanwank' - despite the fact he scored the first ever top 5 with 200+ points, cuz thats obviously a fanwank.

And I didn't realise having a big breakthrough after the contest was important, not to mention international (which, lets be honest, is only held by a few stars like Celine Dion, ABBA and Conchita Wurst).

Of course it can't be important, and I realize that only very few singers are able to do that. But reading and seeing all that was said and written about him, it felt almost like last year we all witnessed the second coming of God to the Earth, like some kind of musical God had come to save us all with his song... :?

Wtf you on about? He got around the same amount of attention as Polina or maybe Elina & Stig depending on where you looked. It was general good-song hype.

For me it was more like a case of immense hype of a song which at the end of the day lead to *just* a 4th place, which in certain cases it can be considered as a little disappointment, if we manage to measure the size of the hype toward that song.

And once again, while everybody are thrilled about songs and performances like these, in a little corner there's always me who I am always like "wtf?" and I am never able to get these hypes. After all, what I saw in the Belgian performance last year was just a weirdo who did weird moves, rubbed his face, acted like he felt the need to go to pee, made steps forward and back... all these gimmicks which have nothing to do with actual music.

The 4th place it got was completely deserved considering the songs that beat it, Sweden had a handsome singer with a good voice, a great song and a fantastic performance. Russia and Italy mostly benefitted from their good songs and good voices (well, 1/3 of Il Volo had a good voice).

Whilst there may be a little corner of you who doesn't get the hype, there's a lot of people who do and so vote for the songs. Just because you don't like a song or it's performance, it does not cancel out the success a song has received. There are songs like Israel 2015, Greece 2011 and Azerbaijan 2009 which I don't get the success of, but I don't criticise those who'll dislike those songs.

That is not an important performance is it? She was obviously over excited after winning. In the one that mattered she was good.

I can say something:
The Austrian song made the best first impression on me out of all 43 entries.
A really melodic, uplifting song with an outstandingly good (and attractive) singer. xlove
You have my full support.

She's so pretty but I just don't like the song that much, something like Adieu would be much classier and better.

I have fresh news guys !
It seems that the interval act will be a musical play involving several artists and Zoë is likely to be the main protagonist.
