The voice aint that bad. She sounds like she is ill tbh. The staging needs some work though. It seems that this year the winamp backdrop is going to be provided by Azerbaijan

Her voice could do with some improvement but it wasn't that bad. I think it's not impossible that the improvement will happen. Let's wait until next week and see how she develops.

First of all: I love the song. She is a real beauty and she seems to be a very nice person.
But: Though her vocals have improved a lot, this rehearsal showed why she was singing playback in some of the pre-eurovision shows on TV. I wonder if she will have the "Hadise"-factor (meaning having a good result in spite of weak vocal performance)

If this qualifies over NL/Estonia/Cyprus, it can only be a blessing.

I cant see that happening. Dum-Tek-Tek (I still love love love the song) really didnt need good vocals. The song wasnt totally ruined with the rather mediocre vocals of Hadise. Miracle on the other hand is a song that needs good vocals! With bad vocals it would take a Miracle for this song to go through. But with good vocals I find this a sure qualifier!

I hope you are right. It would be quite frustrating having a good song with bad vocals in the final taking the place of perhaps a good song with good vocals.

In the final, I much prefer having a great, modern song which is badly sung, instead of an uninteresting boring crap which is well sung (the aforementioned NL/Estonia/Cyprus). This is still a song contest, not a talent show.
I can only echo what other Press folks said, Azerbaijan was shockingly bad. She got better each run but it was quite a surprise to me. I never heard her sing live before so I didn't know what to expect. That doesn't mean it's out of the running in terms of Qualification but I think this Semi has gotten even more competitive now with one of the so called "Sure" qualifiers losing the "Sure" status. Again, I'm not saying it's over as she can still improve and fix some of the things hat didn't work today. Maybe they'll crank up the backup vocals a bit, maybe she just really had a bad day. Let's wait until Friday before jumping the gun here. I'm always just very cautious when it comes to writing off a song immediately. The Staging seems quite blah but that's quite subjective.

Am I the only one who just feels like channelling their inner diva and BELTING this song out every time they hear it, with full drama?? It's just so fierce like

Of course she will pass the semis. The question is does she deserve to pass.

Yes, she does. A cold can't prevent a memorable song like this to not qualify.

That is a subjective question where no objective answers can be given.

This is a big competition (maybe the biggest). It's not too much to ask for both the song and the performance.
