Agree, she is ok, both voice and visual but the song is very monotonous, so this needs a stage performance that really shines if shall make the final this year

didn't you just predict a top 10 result for her? what made you change your mind so quickly?

 

[Stargazer]

I usually try to give all songs points between 1-12 each year, but sorry... this doesn't deserve more than 0. Not even a revamped, re-arranged version would save it.

I watched the video of Laura's performance, and I liked it! Growing up with this kind of music (late 70s-early 80s disco and pop), I really got into it and she has a lot of charisma on stage. This could do well if it gets a decent draw in the semi

 

[Dante]

What's the pressure, Belgium? It's not like ESC is a competition or something.

 

[Lenny1993]

Belgium made a decent choice today. The girl is sweet and I like the presentation -I think she needs more choreography though. It's a moderate song, reminding me of "Sax" by Fleur East without the hit-factor. It could get into the final depending on the other songs. I also felt that the verses were quit messy but the chorus really good. For me it's a mixed feeling but not all the hope is gone.

 

[Franco]

The best performer won.
I'm not going to say "the best song", because there were no best songs there.
But with some heavy revamping it could get a decent result in Stockholm.

Long workday today, pretty tired

It will be tough to match the 4th place Loic Nottet got last year though

then I wish you a relaxing

 

[GWTW1939]

Well all I can say at this moment is if they can transform Roberto Bellarosa into a 12th place finisher then I'm not ready to write off Laura or her song just yet

No chance.

THE GOOD:

-The song does what it's supposed to and does it well. This applies to both vocals and instrumentals.
-As a performer, she can move!

THE BAD:

-Given its genre, it might be an acquired taste for some to like the song, I'll admit.

THE VERDICT:

With a good performance in Stockholm, this song might make it into the Grand Final. While it might not win (again, given its genre), I really like the song. 10 points

OMG; this song is AWESOME!!!!!!!

 

[Carrie]

Great song from Belgium, I love it!

But then it was very different. Roberto just sang his song one time on a radio show.
This year they were already working months on their song and act and don't think they wil change it. They always said that the final performance was how they also wanted to bring it in Stockholm.

 

[PamSwynford]

Sorry Belgium, but the next time send the original, and not a cheap copy:

 

[DanielLuis]

Not a winner, but it has the potential to qualify and do well in the final.

 

[hijirio]

I LOOOOVE THIS!
I think there's some kind of herd mentality among fans, this song is so energetic I couldn't stand on my chair while hearing the song and I'm saying this as a person who under normal conditions NEVER enjoys this kind of music. She has a great stage presence that compensates for her weak singing skills. Calm down Belges, I can see this easily sailing to the final.
