Yes, it was the best song of Azerbaijan. But it wasn't convincing live, this gymnast girl was totally uncalled for. Last year Azerbaijan did way better with a weaker, more generic song that came with an amazing staging, it did a lot for the success. But whatever, Start A Fire is still astonishing and Hold Me is still meh :)

To see a scandal just because the result is a different one than polls or journalists opinion brfore the contest is just showing that you don't (want) to understand the mechanisms of Eurovision. The Azeris should have a chat with Israel on that matter. ;)

But still i'm not surprised. The word "Humility" don't exist in that country.

With the old system used in 2009-2012, it would have finished in 17th place with 48 points. So everyone that thought the older system would have given them a high position like at least 12th place was wrong

just watched the semi final and final performances of Dilara side by side, what a mess. she had no coordination at all, her pronunciation was off, like most of the entries are fairly the same in both contests which is a great indicator of lots of practice, something Dilara was clearly lacking

Exactly. What a shame that she did the worst on live for this wonderful song...

Aww, Azerbaijan was robbed this year... :( love Dilara and Start A Fire so much! Why did they cut out the light on her dress in the rehearsals?

Just wonder one thing: in the lyrics she sings: A soldier in the hands of, they forgot a mess - right? It sounds like that in the studio version and in the live performance, but when I search on the lyrics it's: A soldier in the hands of a forgotten mess - and that is wrong, isn't it? She don't says the word forgotten.. just wonder if I'm right or if the lyrics are wrong?

Please answer, because I really need to know if I'm the only one who hears a soldier in the hands of, they forgot a mess

She says ''a forgotten mess',' it's that she pronounces the ''a'' as ''ey''. That's probably why you hear ''they'''.
