She knows what she is doing, and she came there for the fun in the rehearsals, she knows what rehearsals used for...and that's all....SHE KNOWS TO PERFORM, And she knows how to surprise all, be sure!
xrofl3 Seriously every time I see this I laugh! In a good way! I love it when you say it and I hope you are right! No matter what Dana is in my top 3 and she will stay there! ;)

Ohhh you took my words. She wanna be a dark horse and she said it lol...

Now, people, please listen to me, it's FIRST rehearsal ok? it was known and everyone can see Dana didn't make any effort, cause she has things to save for the real time. She is gonna use the "catwalk' on saturday, she knows the rehearsal was bad. Come on? what do you think happened to Dana? she is not dead, the diva will back on the semis performance, be sure!

I love how we came making excuses for her...
when we heard the song....oh its just a demo...then when we heard the new version...oh it'll get better...no she wants to be a dark horse LOOOOOOOL after she fails to qualify....oh she just wants to make a suprise entrance to the final :/

She can do better songs. I can't understand why Dana choosed such a lame song for her Eurovision comeback. IMO, the original version sung at the Israeli Kdam is way better than the remix she is going to perform in Dueseldorf.

PLEASE DANA. IF YOU EVER READ THIS: GO BACK TO YOUR FIRST VERSION.

I'm begging our Diva to go back to the first version and surprise us. D:

No, this is not an excuse. The first rehearsal used to check somethings, this is not the dress rehearsal. We saw Greece first rehearsal in 2009, we saw a lot of rehearsals. Plus, she had delay with her flight, for me it was not a rehearsal to judge, so understand it. I really hate the fact people really like to judge without understand a serious thing - it's FIRST rehearsal, it has nothing to do with the real performance!

I think we shouldn't forbid people to express their opinion on a public board. :) Nobody here has nothing against Israel (but on the contrary), and we are all dissatisfied, because we know that Israel (not Dana) can do much better than this, and you deserve a much better entry, the entry that will fight for a really high place, but this one here is not in that category, no matter how much it hurts. It is very hard to believe that the next rehearsal(s) will bomb everyone away. So far, it never happened that we see two totally different rehearsals, and we will not see a totally new Dana's rehearsal at all. Besides the song is just terribly bad, it's not just the rehearsal or the performance. I said myself, I liked "Diva" it is one of my favorite winners, but this is a mediocre song. I have nothing against Israel, I actually really like the country, I like Dana's songs too, but this one is not good, and I will not hide that.

All the rehearsals are judged after the 1st performance and/or later, so I think the Israeli one shouldn't be an exception. I know it is not pleasing when you see negative comments about your entry, but you have to understand that people have their opinion, you can't except that everyone will like the entry, and besides, this is a public forum, where everyone is free to say what he has to say.

So, in the end, everyone is free to voice his opinion about the rehearsal, no matter if we like the comment or not. I am certainly not jumping around from happiness when someone spits on the Serbian rehearsal, but I can't ban all people who don't like it, or close the forum.

The purpose of all this is to discuss, and it will be discussed. Nobody was insulting or using inappropriate words and phrases, because if he/she was, he/she would have business with AlekS and me, that is clear, I think.

^^Sure you can have your own opinion, but what I try to say is that Dana didn't perform as she is gonna perform. She is gonna use the catwalk and wear the dress and do some changes. Rehearsals used to improve things, I don't like people who say automatically "This won't qualify, it's the worst, it's a disaster" It's just rehearsals, that's my point. It used to check things and the performance can be totally different. I saw last year how people talked about Denmark, and this year how they talk about Swedish rehearsal. Rehearsals used to check things, some year ago we were not even able to watch the rehearsals via the net, so why to judge so quickly? Isn't it known that performances can be 100 times better than the rehearsals? :/

It seems like people say "Oh this is the performance, nothing gonna improve it, that's it, she won't qualify" ...and this is totally wrong, especially when it's the first one:lol:

^ With the dress? Will she wear it? She said that we will see the dress(es) for the first time the night of the semi-final... She would keep them for a surprise...hmm

A video that makes me like the performance/rehearsal a lot


Between all the big shows, no doubt, people gonna remember a simple show from 80's... Again, she knows what she is doing (for the 100423980923 time)

I really think she knows what she`s doing (:lol:) and I hope she will rock ESC again. But the song is kinda forgetable, so her performance needs to be great and as we all know, she knows what she`s doing (:lol:)
