Secretly wishing she'll withdraw :?
Unless there's photographic evidence of Ester Peony handing over sacks of money to the jurors, they just can't disqualify her. It would be a abhorrently deplorable move. I heard about a minute of the studio version of On a Sunday before the final and turned it off as I thought it wasn't for me. Meanwhile I was captivated by Ester when watching her perform the winners reprise of the song. Opinions change. For sure jurors have the capability of being dodgy but we haven't invented mind reading machines yet. TVR have no one to blame for this outcome but themselves. Don't rob a girl of her dreams cause YOU fudged it up.
Honestly this mob mentality that results in BULLYING contestants for *daring* to be liked by jurors is D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G and an affront to human nature. Those are the rules of the National Finals and while questionable, they are what they are. Complain beforehand if you must, but don't go around launching smear campaigns afterwards because you didn't fucking get your way, like a toddler whose been denied candy. The Cyberbully mobs already forced Petruska out of A Dal with flimsy plagiarism claims, they almost destroyed Mahmood as well (with an unpleasant tinge of xenophobia in the mix, although Mahmood was born in Milan, has an Italian first name and is probably fucking Christian anyway???) and I swear if they try to do the same thing to Ester...
Cowardly and vile human behavour, that's what it is! Sore losers, the lot of them! For fucking SHAME.
also like... how did they not have their desired result with A JURY-HEAVY FORMAT lmao. what kind of incompetence? even montenegro was able to submit us to the downright lie that lea sirk would ever pick that fucking abomination as her favourite song. i don't believe for a second they are actually investigating shit. they wanted the format to pick whoever they wanted, they chose ester and didn't think it would raise this big of a stink. that's that on that. it is pretty insidious to let it fall on william and deban only.
your notes were incomplete though! it's Midfield. with random capitalization. unless it is used in its longer form, Table-midfield (hyphen optional). you did get the capitalization exactly right on Homophobic-Phobic though, so props.But Alaskaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Some random man on the internet who probably doesn't know William or Deban thanked them for tanking a performer with homophobic statements in her past by *checks notes* putting her midfield (as no shortage of people on THIS VERY FORUM did)! OBVIOUSLY they ruined everything by being Homophobic-Phobic!
EDIT: *checks notes* is just an objectively funny thing to say. I rectified my missed opportunity.
It seems to have been removed

Linda questions the 2 Points from William and think it was a political Judgement since hes from England and shes from Germany. But she admitted she wasnt the best, but 2 Points is ridiculous.
Also she Questions that Guys who have nothing to with Music were allowed Judged.
Also she complains that the Televoting didnt work at the beginning.
She will never participate again in Romania.
To be frank: I am not William or Deban or anyone of wiwibloggs, but the studioversion of Esters Song is meh. The version of the semi, too. The final presentation lifted the song for me high. (Something similiar has happened for me with the Australian entry)Not to forget that Ester Song "Wasnt too bad", but "a bit boring" and "the Song needs too long to build up" plus they didnt listen it to the end and almost fell asleep![]()
