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)
On the other side: I was a little bit disapointed by the presentation of "Dear Father". It was just too much kitch for me.I liked the studioversion and the semipresentation, but the final presentation was just too much kitch.

The diffence between the best 4 Songs was for me 1(!) point on an scale of 1 to 10. Laura was 8, Bella and Trooper was 8,5 and Ester was 9I know that Opinions can change after the Liveperformances, but not to that Extent.
It is surely no coincidence that Lauras worst Juryresults were from the (probably) only 2 Gays in the Jury.
I mean even Teodora who deban hated in the Studio was apparently better than Laura despite her Performance![]()
Because of the fucked up situation, EBU might soon give TVR a warning and maybe threat to do the same as they did in 2016, throwout of the competition and if that happens, I really hope Ester will sue TVR since she has done nothing wrong
Bella really acts as a great loser, don´t she?![]()

Laura would have gotten only 7 points from me, if I were one of the Romanian jury. So no big change of my opinion. The whole field was very near for me.

Well for one, I think, that Ester has the best potential for the ESC. That was the point why I think she is a 9 for me. I don't think, that the kitsch-presentation will work as good als Esters westernlike-presentation.The Idea of prof. Juries was to help Romania finding the best Entry for Eurovision, not to vote what they personally like.
And this year SN19 was one of the most hyped Selections this year and not because of Ester, but because of Laura and Bella and the Juries had the Task to make sure that one of them will win since Televoting in Romania alone isnt always fair because of the Non-Existent Interest.
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.

By the way, one important role of the jury in the national selection is to hold the fanbase in check. Many fans vote for the artist and not necessarily for the best song.
Lets face it, Laura is the huge International Superstar that Europe (a.k.a. the international professional Jurymember and the Casual Viewers) wants to see and hear.
She has the big voice and the a bit dated Song that the international, professional Jurymembers want to hear.
She has the cute look, the stage presence and the charisma which make the Televoter vote for her.
Her song is instant and has the universal appeal to all cultural Regions.
She is a real Superstar who wont disappear after Eurovision, but who will build her career further and further.
