Clothes seem a bit unsuitable, but the staging looks good otherwise. I think this can do really well, don't know why everyone seems to ignore it completely.

This sure is a BIG grower for me. The staging fits the song well imo. I have a hope that Azerbaijan may make it to the finals this year.

:az: should take a break from the contest and come back strong. They seem to have lost all their motivation and enthusiasm they had before, just participating as if it was an obligation.

I wasn't really fan of the song but the performance got me hooked. I lowkey expected them to get to the final. Surprised some others did and Azerbaijan didn't.

One of the best songs of this semi! So sad it didn’t qualify

Only one i'm really kinda sad about. But it really didn't work... the staging looked good but it was just too eventless, it felt anticlimactic and i was just kinda left waiting for something that didn't come. Not happy about Azerbaijan's recent results, i think the two last qualifications were by juries only, and now two NQs, both with actualy Azeri songwriters. They just need to get a bit showier, less low-key, it clearly doesn't work for them while it clearly works for others...

They could qualify with a better staging. It felt strange to me that they presented it this way. There are people who really like that kind of songs but that staging really killed it.

Azerbaijan had the only performance that gave me goosebumps. The whole thing was so dreamy and Ilkin's vocals were just on another level. It was gorgeous. Both gentlemen did brilliantly. I know the track itself was always standing on very dodgy ground in terms of its qualification chances but I hoped they'd be able to push through. Serbia, Portugal and especially Slovenia being called so early made me lose all my hope. What a magnificent and haunting performance though. Really one to be proud of. I used 8 of my 20 votes on Azerbaijan and don't regret them.

Well, it seems :az: lost their track at ESC.
I think part of the reason is that İTV has lost its ambition recently, and they are not really aching for good results like in the past years.

RainyWoods summorized it wonderfully. Beautiful melody, mesmerizing flow and both vocal styles blended in perfect harmony. Certainly gonna be one of my most listened once the contest ends. I fear this might sent the wrong message to Azerbaijan to drop any trace of their eastern elements.

I think this could have qualified if it had better staging that leaned into the mellow vibes and ethnic elements. The spaceman suits and graphics were weird and didn't suit the song.

Maybe although I did personally really like the staging. Something safer perhaps could have seen it through.
