Cyprus CYPRUS 2019 - Tamta - Replay

[John1]

She's doomed with such vocals tbh. Awaiting her tomorrow's performance, but she won't shine bright in the GF. She barely manages to hit a single note right. :?

 

[Preuss]

Seeing some of the clips of how it will look on TV, I'm not very impressed if I'm fair :?
Will qualify though

1 minute clip from today's jury show

Still sounds weak. This won't come even close to the 1st place in the semi.

Okay, here's the tea: Replay is DREADFUL and it must NQ.

Seriously, this is even worse than anyone could've imagined. Replay already borrows ideas from other songs (none of which won ESC), and tried shoehorning an ageing bitch into a MARUV-esque role (including giving her MARUV's outfit *and* hairstyle) and panders transparently to all of the fanbases desperate to fill the Siren Song shaped holes in their heart with *literally* the first song available after her DQ, displaying ZERO originality along the way

and guess what? The live isn't even good. It's a fucking swampfest. Cheap, woefully predictable and amateur. What a waste of perfectly fine Tamata.

It is BAD and Cyprus should feel BAD for inflicting this upon us.

Her voice sounds sooooo different compared to the studio version of Replay. Seriously, what did happen?

Probably the "Gina G syndrome"

With those vocal problems... Posible surprise NQ? Kinda like Poland last year...

 

[Citelis]

Looks and sounds really bad. Not a safe qualifier anymore but she will make it i think.

 

[Hele.]

My second favorite tomorrow! Hopefully they solved problems with sound and Tamta sounds good! You go Tamta and !!

 

[Preuss]

I don’t like the replay effects

 

[joao]

Ok guys... Videos from the jury show are starting to leak. If you don't want any spoilers don't watch it but... Am I the only one thinking this might be the shocker NQ from semi 1?

I'm not a fan of the staging:

 

[Etanna]

Didn't everyone use to say that Tamta's main advantage compared to Eleni were her fantastic vocals? Because this is really disappointing. I'm also not a fan of the replay effect. But I must admit that the smoke effect is really cool and the choreography from that point on is amazing as well. Curious how they're going to do tomorrow..

 

[joao]

Bigger one:

 

[Galandar]

This looks like NQ to me. Sorry Tamta

That 1-minute clip isn't as bad as I feared and people were saying.

It's worse! Dear GOD. I really hope she gets her shit together for the next three (and yes, I still do believe she is far more likely to have three more than one more) performances. There aren't a lot of songs this year which I like and think can win, but she's one of them, and she will perform her way right out of contention if nothing changes. I don't even mean just the vocals; the choreo is all at the wrong times (arguably a bigger issue for me than the vocal), especially the weird half-turn that the "replay-replay-replay" effect, which could've been really cool but is executed straight-up poorly.

SJB to be banned at future ESC:s?

 

[lavieenrose]

SJB

EDIT: OH! Sorry. I am a dumb. She's about the only person who's done her job here. The backdrop and set look fine. It's everything else.

 

[joao]

I just think deserved A LOT BETTER. But it doesn't look good unfortunately

 

[joao]

Sacha Jean Baptiste the stage director. She did Cyorus last year and few more countries too. She had masterpieces but straight up disgraces like Australia 17 and 18.
She is also doing Switzerland this year. Second shocker NQ?

> having an upbeat party song

> having static camera work that moves in turtle speed

smh
