We have very good camera work and it will improve further the next days! Yeah from that snippet on youtube it seems a bit messy, but it works and it will get better, remember this is a story telling performance like a fairytale. As for Katerine, she slayed the vocals, she was the best today, congratulations!

Wow those quickly opening petals! Is there such a thing like Indian diaspora? :eek:

I really love her voice, but wish the song would have been stronger. I love Greece's entrance from last year so much more.

I think it’s safe to say now that this is a very certain qualifier. Katerine sounds great and a lot of work has gone into the performance. Jury votes alone should catapult the entry high. I’ve got to say though I’m not feeling it aesthetically speaking. It’s too frilly and kind of pompous. You can literally smell grandmas powder compact along with the bowl of potpourri. Arty for the sake of being arty and I never like that. It kind of irritates me if I’m being honest but it’s a matter of personal taste. I can understand why people will like it.

Beautifully staged. One of the few acts whose stagings are impressive. I don't like her very high notes, which are also very loud.

I said earlier in this season that I'd love Katerine to be singing in a meadow and it looks like they heard my wish to some extent :p
I love it - I think the flowers behind her and Katerine herself is going to be a beautiful opening shot
The idea with the lotus flower is AMAZING and I can't wait to see it myself,
i effing love the idea of the renaissance age in many ways, this is just something unique and something different and deserves to do great because Katerine's vocals were amazing too
The colour scheme is also beautiful

Now I am a bit afraid of how the camera angles are and how it will work on TV so that's the one thing I hope their focusing on for the 2nd rehearsals, hopefully it won't look messy
definitely didn't let me down and still believe this is still the favourite to win the semi

And a moment of appreciation for Katerine's brother for being her guardian angel in Tel Aviv. :mrgreen:

^I don't expect everyone to like this. It fits the song very well, but maybe some of you were expecting spaceships or stars backdrops or just don't understand art.

Oh I hope we're not going to have 2018 all over again :( Great song that people are put off because of the performance...

I think the fact the styling is a little bit polarising can only be a good thing for it, cause look at the comments. Some people are absolutely enchanted by it. I think it’s just a matter of personal taste really. The aesthetic here isn’t for me at all but I can appreciate that it’s very well done and thought through. I feel the effort will be rewarded.

I really don't get the staging, it looks too theatrical in an old-fashioned way. I wouldn't be surprised if it flops like Mei Finegold did.

i think it's more like an apollo flop than a same heart flop


(poor same heart btw)
