It was all off centre on television...none of the mapping lined up and it looked off.

WTF. Besides the Russian this was the only sure qualifier for me. The performance was really great.

Sorry Iceland, sorry Greta

What did she have to do to qualify? Best performance yet; beautiful vocals and staging. My favourite on the night. So sorry I won't be able to see my favourite ESC artist on Saturday xcry1

I was actually rather sad to see her miss, notwithstanding that I wasn't really hyping this song much before. She made a wonderful case for herself tonight.

No need for that rudeness, laughing at other's misfortunes.

So, I'm pretty much in bits. All my other faves made it through, but I don't care at the moment.

Are you guys watching the same performance I was....? NONE of the mapping lined up AT ALL, so it was awrkward to watch. Her national performance would've sent this through 100%. I dunno if its her fault for not hitting the mark or bad camera angles...

I am terribly sorry for her. She DID not deserve to get screwed over by that atrocity from Azerbahycvban. Sending heartfelt thoughts her way.

i'm angry at SVT now, because when i read twitter (in French) people are comparing this to Russia with stuff like "ok so now it's mapping competition?" "if you don't have a proper animation, you're a looser ?" "Is it still a song contest?"
It's like people get tired with the mapping with Russia so they couldn't stand another one.

Too bad. I don't understand.... :(

1- The projections were much better than the Russian ones and, more importantly, they actually FITED the song.

2- Come on, this was much better than Azerbaijan and, especially, better than Malta, which has been one of the most boring acts ever to close a show.
