It's.. what?
Like a mockery of what the contest should be/used to be.

It would have been nice to see her in the grand final. Her song sounds like an Italian song from the 80s but I think it would have been an interesting addition. Kaliopi is also very likeable.
Well, at least she has already experienced the grand final once.

I am quite shocked, I would have liked to see Madam Donut perform in the final. Would replace Israel with her.

I´m really sad, this should have been in the final, instead of Lithuania f.e.

It was too old fashioned to qualify. Everything - song, staging, dress.. Poor Kaliopi, but this song wasn't even near good as "Crno I belo" was.
Very, very sad for this lovely song and Kaliopi.

This is definitely the best song for me this year.
Performance was amazing too, quality and class in every single note.
I expected it might happen looking at odds and comments of other people, so can't say it's a big shock, but still - really sad.
It's a shame that people don't appreciate such beauty nowadays.1

Well, it was just too boring. She has a really good voice but this is not a Voicevision. Crno i belo was better by miles.
I just don't accept this 1
I am really sad for her. It was the best performance last night and definetly one of the best songs of this contest. Much better than "Crno i belo" for me still. Sadly, I guess the song was too oldfashioned and that is what might have pulled people away from it.
Also, imo, the backing singers were not needed, they kinda ruined the overall impression and the backdrop was not adequate for this song. It should've been darker without any lights and/or slowly increasing the brightness as the song was growing, and I believe it would've stand out then.

I was and still extremely disappointed by the performance, I mean those backing singers pffff didn't add anything except screaming and torture. I was disappointed by Kaliopi as well, I didn't like her voice (she was a bit too shouty, this kind of song didn't need that, so I couldn't enjoy the song as I did before ), and that last note was...no comment. The whole performance almost gave a headache tbh :?
Such a shame b/c it's my favourite Kaliopi song and was in my top 3 before the live

Sad to know that Kaliopi didn´t make it.
She nailed it vocally, and I even thought that she had a chance till the very last qualifier was revealed.
I personally don´t think that "Crno i belo" is that much better than this song. However, it is important to note that back in 2012 when Kaliopi showed up on stage for the first time, she managed to create a "shock factor" by uplifting her song and surprising everyone. This time, however, people already knew what to expect and weren´t really wowed.
This is pretty much the same thing just like with Elitsa and Stoyan from Bulgaria. In 2007, everyone was surprised by their original stage performance, but in 2013, fans already knew what to expect.
Now that I think about all of this after the semi 2 night, as much as some people won´t like hearing this, I think that Belgium and Georgia did much better job by uplifting their song with stage performance.

I am very sad that she failed to qualify for the Grand Final she is such a diva and I love her since 2012, Crno i belo is one of my favourite songs in 2012... she is such a sweetheart too, with good sense of humour and I feel so sorry for her
The only thing I didn't like in her performance was the backing singers, personally, I don't think they helped her a lot, I think it was a wrong step using them
In overall, I am happy that I know this wonderful artist and she will always have a special place in my heart with her beautiful, soul touching ESC entries... thank you, thank you Kaliopi!

I really wish Kaliopi didn't compete with Dona. Any other song would've seen her in my top 10, Crno i Belo was my 2nd favourite in 2012 only to La La Love.. it's so frustrating to me. Her voice is one of the best ever in ESC, but the weak song killed her chances. Maybe next year?
