This is not what fucking happened; by lying that it's what happened, you're empowering one of the most vile segments of the fandom; stop this & do so with urgency please.

Well, this is another attempt at going after an artist who suddenly emerged as a possible qualifier. I have believed from the beginning that this song stands good chances of getting qualified, and after seeing the running order the other day, I was almost 90% sure she would qualify. And now, all of a sudden, some stupid scandal follows. Coincidence? I don't know, but certainly I agree with RainyWoods. Do we really want another Polina Gagarina in Tel Aviv? I still remember those embarassing things Polina had to reply to annoying press, although she is Sergei's best friend and we all know that Polina probably loves and supports Sergei. I am certain that Zena is one of the younger generations and her attitudes can still be changed, but if we attack her, do you think she will like gays more? We have to influence people like her in those countries so that they become vocal supporters of LGBT rights there, because they cannot be silenced like other "anonymous" gays and lesbians. That's my opinion. Leave, Zena, show her love and she will know to appreciate it!

*yawn* homophobic drama intensifies... The majority of the gay fandom rolls their eyes in unison...
I wish people would stop taking social media posts as the infinite truth and fact when in fact they are simply subjective opinions of individuals. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but Zena has not posted anything defamatory - her manager posted an ill-informed and nonsensical comment that should be disregarded as it has nothing to do with this year's contest. If Zena liked the tweet, I'd imagine it's purely because she is a young artist trying to break through to the big time and she feels the need to align herself with her manager in the hope that he can get her more exposure. Obviously, this has backfired this time, but I just don't see the need to go after her on the back of this comment.
I turn around the question "will we ever see a year without a homophobe?" and ask instead "will we ever see a year without the gay fandom trying to wreck someone's chances for no genuine reason?"
Just please, enough of the butthurt sensitivity - grow some thicker skin and rise above these things without lowering yourself to the levels of others.

Wow, blocking someone or adding them on ignore list really feels liberating. Now I know how mans, emelie, Laura (well, maybe I should exclude Laura because she is not part of eurovision family) , zena felt.. Lol, I am kidding. Back to topic, this song is no for me even without controversy and I will never again listen to it after esc. I don't think it will qualify. If it does, it will probably finish between 20-26 Place.
Not a shock qualifier. A justified qualifier. I love her confidence.
But I like it () that more and more people giving her the attention she deserves.
I agree it's justified, but I don't think many people expect it to qualify at this point.

I like many belarus entries or guilty pleasures to be more precise (I love belarus, sollayoah, cheesecake, work your magic) , but this is euro neuro of 2019 and belarus. I don't know, maybe esc experience would be so unpleasant for her that she will never come back.

^WOW. Sergey didn't change much did he.
Everyone is sleeping on this awesome entry right now, it might stand out in the SF1. To be honest with all of you, she's able to sing it perfectly. 
you're right, he seems to be meant to remain young for his whole life, doesn't he?
so is her song...

The instrumental she sings at the pre parties are full of backing vocals...

we need to talk about the head led
