the video from jury rehearsal


at 2:05 min

hmm is not that bad, loreen did it worse imo

As for Romania I'm totally agree with you though it would have been much better if it did not happen at all.
Loreen's cough was terrible though I don't think that the jury's vote regarding Sweden will be affected much.

At least Loreen has an excuse, a good one while Elena has no one. Is good that she continued to smile, but dunno that it helped too much.

Hello all, I do not think she forgot the words but simply drowned. In my opinion the wind machine is too strong, for all contestants.

Okay now I've seen the video:

STOP EXAGGERATING

It's really not that bad. Trust in your entry, Romanians, it's great ;-)

^ I agree. Some Romanians are always overly dramatic :roll:

Sorry, but I couldn't help :lol: and we're definitely gonna be in top 10. Quit worrying so much.

Yeah..maybe it's almost impossible to forget that verse that you sing like 20 times in one performance...Yeah it wasn't that bad like I remembered, but that's because last night I was supporting Romania and I was very emotionally attached to the performance and I couldn't see what was happening on the stage... It was smaller than I said last night, but still it will cost but not as I said ...It should be 3-4 point deduction and this are great news for Romania, maybe a top 15 jury performance:D (I don't believe that the wind machine was the problem )

3-4 point deduction at every jury can mean zero points from the respective country. This is not a song for 12 points from the juries, but 3-4 points from every jury could have won with everything perfect on stage. You all should not loose you optimism, I just hope I am wrong now and that I am just overreacting, but if she chocked it has no excuse for me (and I guess for the juries, too). It was an easy line which should have sound perfect with a little atention and less stage fright.

Yeah... but you know if you wanna forget it you could... I don;t think that the Moldovian Jury will deduct any point for this ...And if so they must deduct for Sweden too !! But you're right it never was a 12 p song ...but we must hope for the best... but like I said all the time the worst moment is when it comes to Romanian channel like every year and say that Romania was grate and it was going to win and they are blaming Eurovision as a political non-musical contest and it's totally unfair, I hate his moment you will see again this year.. "Mandinga was the best, Mandinga robbed...... "

imo the wind machine was to strong....I guess she got to that point where because of that there was no salive in her throat and imo that's the proble...the camera work is awful imo and I miss the ëpaaaaaaaaaaa thing :(
btw,some people said it was artistic how she turned her head at Omar when she chocked :lol:

Elena didn't forget the lyrics, she just started on a bad tonality and she stoped to correct herself. So is not that bad as I imagined, I think Sweden's error was worse, poor Loreen had bad luck too :(

I still hope for a top 10 :D If juries would give points based on beauty we could win :lol: Elena is a goddes xheart

Calm down, it wasn't that bad! :D I panicked too when I heard this without seeing the video, but it's important that she kept smiling and acted naturally. The rest of the performance was much better than in the semi anyway. They also dance better, there's more energy and I like the guys singing louder "Como?", it all comes out good on screen.:)

If the incident last night hasn't harmed their jury votes too much I can see this doing pretty well. Even without much jury support it could do well enough in the televote to bring them up to a decent placing :)

Prediction: 5th-7th
