If Czech Republic revamp also let me down..I will....explode..What is it with all these revamps? The end indeed is alittle too over-dramatic, I liked the version before much more. One disappointment after another ...The song is still good, but they made it less impactful. Sorry ...

I don't care actually. I gave it 1 pts. In case of a revamp, it can only get better.
They added African influence..maybe it can really be better for you now..
Well is was listening and wondering "where tf is this revamp?" Because it sounds the same, then that random bit of drama come out. I see why they may have chosen to do it, but i think it's very out of place in this song with the atmosphere it's trying to achieve.
lmao the end sounds messy and pretty much out of place, but maybe people who'll listen to it for the first time in May won't be bothered.

Oh yes Roxen! That revamped last minute will help a lot of casual ESC-watchers to catch on to the song, I like it very much!

I am sad! Romania was my favourite! But the new version kills the whole fragile atmosphere. The climax sounds unnatural to me... They just want to showcase Roxen's voice.. And they sacrificed the whole meaning and tone of the song! I'm Utterly sad.
I have to downgrade it from (my #1) to

What the fuck is that revamp? Way to decimate a perfect song. Idiots.
EDIT: I can lose Make Me Human, Oculis Videre, Cicciolina. It's all fine and dandy, I just want to have my 1 single song I can completely get behind. Normally you lose them to others being more popular, idiots voting like a bunch of brainless pieces of shit or whatever the hell happens. I don't want to lose them to a revamp gone wrong. That's just a knife in the back.

I don't mind the changes but they were mostly unnecessary. Yes, some people complained there is no "real" climax. Now there is. That last chorus should be a great moment in the staging, if TVR is competent by some miracle lmao.

People are idiots. The silence is the climax. I'm just going to have to force myself to like this shit. I refuse to give up on this song, but fuck me what a disaster.

Albanian one I actually liked, although they should have kept it in Albanian. Czechia I thought was one of the weakest songs anyway so I don't mind that crashing and burning and I think it's going to work out on stage anyway. Romania just screwed itself. Putting a crescendo there is just a bad idea. I can understand why they thought it necessary, but why so messy? I mean, it starts off in a way that is bearable, and the vocal line is fine, but you have these wildly arpeggiating strings just end abruptly after 'fake news' and the rest is just the same. You can't just willy nilly add shit to stuff, you need to take care with the curvature of the density. Now there's a cliff. Such a carefully constructed track ruined by some amateur who probably got payed to do it.
Can they still legally unvamp it?
