If it is not live then what's the point for all this?Well, even with the Eiffel Tower as a prop, that was still pretty uneventfulAnd the song wasn't live obviously.

Gotta admit, Tom has some serious balls. I can't imagine stepping out there in that height, let alone move while lip syncing, no matter it's not exactly live. Still, the song is not great.

He was lip-syncing. It was very obvious. He wasn't "killing" it.
The "very special location" was great and Tom is very charming on "stage" but oh well, the song and him lip-syncing... I will downgrade this to 1 point. I think I prefer Latvia to this...Listening to it twice was already enough.. it's way too repetitive, cheesy and artifical for my liking. - Just add a random rapper and it's basically everything I despise in terms of a Eurovision entry.

Oh man, that was just awful. Weak melodies further neutered by a very slow pace. Instrumentals were pretty, but felt very dated. Compare the instrumentals here with Attention to hear what I mean. Staging for a song like this is easy, but there are hardly any big musical cues you can use to get some visuals going to good effect. I mean this is just dead. There's no way to salvage this either, there are no layers you can push or pull to ever get rid of the melodic weaknesses. Horrible entry.

I thought you guys were being overdramatic, but oh my god. What is this? I don't even have words to describe this. It is not even mediocre, boring or unoriginal; it is just plain horrible. It is even worse than S!isters. Who thought that was possible. I thought Tom Leeb was going to be THE hunk of the year. Now he looks like an old perv who is singing in a karaoke bar trying desperately to relive his macho days.

Jesus christ, it got even more boring watching Tom singing it, didn't think it was possible...
I don't want to sound even more dramatic than I already do to some people here - and we have yet to see our staging - but I believe we might be able to get the null points in the televote this time. I don't see who could possibly pick up their phone and vote for this honestly, it doesn't even stand out on its own, how can it survive among 25 other entries?

I downgraded it to .
Seriously, it's the epitome of everything I dislike in Eurovision + like @Miloutchi said, it's worse than "Sister".
When I listened to the song for the third time, not even Tom's solid voice was doing it for me. I honestly can't find any good words for it.

Uhm, Tom's voice is nice. But that's about it, unfortunately.
They scrapped Destination Eurovision for this?
