I always believed this one was going to fail so I was PLEASANTLY surprised tonight! She did look nervous so hopefully a more relaxed performance will do the song better justice!

 

[visstick]

It felt so cute and loveable after cyprus (and before estonia), that made it really stand out

2nd half

I am so glad our neighbours got through! Deserved qualification, this was my favourite performance of the evening.

 

[Lenny1993]

I so knew it. I was in. Love with this from the very beginning. This will be received very well. I expect a good place in the Grand Final. Well done, dear neighbors

 

[Mrm]

Well...what can I say, I liked it more than earlier..it stood out somehow, maybe French language in the sea of English...maybe that fairytale girlish presence....it was unique in tonight platform..I give her that, but....let's face it..it's weak..

 

[Musicosity]

I hate her and her song and her flowers and her sugar girl attitude with all my heart. But congrats anyway.

A noble gesture.

My hearty congrats as well. It didn't look so good in the beginning, but she overcame it and second half was good. I hope she can be more relaxed in the final.

 

[Musicosity]

Fairy magic!

She looked to me anxious at her national final. Maybe because she heard that she is going to ESC and was singing song again then. But, tonight it was all ok.

Singing was ok, scene performance beautiful. Song melody and text are, maybe, i my opinion, too repetitive, but it is in acceptable range.

Zoe was just utterly adorable and so genuine in her joy and excitement about being on the Eurovision stage. At the end of the day, that's what spoke more than anything else - the song is great and I've always had it in my Top 10, but after such a fantastic performance tonight it might challenge for my Top 5.

I cried 3 times - once when she finished performing and was emotionally overcome, again during the recap and she just jumped up and down with utter glee and delight and again when she just couldn't contain her excitement about qualifying. Seriously, the girl did AMAZING!! should be mega proud tonight

Wow, congrats for your qualification guys! You avoided the curse of past hosts with a song in French!

I was 100% sure you would fail, because language is quite often a disadvantage when there are so many songs in English. But you succeeded in standing out, Zoë was truly cute, the song was fresh and the audience loved it. She was so emotional at the end, gosh

I don't see the cheesiness of the song though, yes it's not a serious song, but there was nothing distracting or off-putting musically or visually. I don't know how far Zoë can go now tbh if reaching the top 10 might be difficult, it's not impossible, otherwise 11th-15th may well be realistic imo.

Anyway, I wish you good luck for the final!

I was so happy for her when she qualified. Loved her performance.
Bravo Zoe!

We all have the right of at least three minutes of cheesiness
