Oh, I didn't notice that I had not voted in this poll! At first I'd give it 2 points, but now it's a grower and got 4 points for me, which means, not that bad... If it was in Russian I'd like it much more for sure, because its melody is nice! In English, though, lacks a lot of feelings that would anyway have in Russian! But when I think of Alyosha, I can say this is a masterpiece if you compare it with "Sweet People"!!

Wow! When I watched the rehearsal, I was amazed! Her live vocals are nice, and the backdrop, oh it's great! Is that the winner of Ukraine's God Talent?
I became teary eyed in the end (just a little)
as I've got the whole idea of the performance and I'm happy that we managed to create something with a strong message, just like last year.It's about abandoned children. Though you can also interpret it as dedication to all lonely people.
I have enormous respect to Xeniya Simonova (the sand animation girl).
I bet it's a live performance, I mean not just sand animation on the screen but the real time performance, I wish that camera could be set up above Xeniya just like on UGT show. Not a fond of backing vocalist (I would turned down the volume on his mic - this is a common problem for everyone it seems) but I'm pleased with everything else and Mika's vocals. The dress will be different, they test a color probably.
I can't believe that I'm saying this but I'm happy that we chose her :shock:

Yes, it is Kseniya Simonova
That will work out as a big advantage!! I would not be surprised if it finishes very high!

Kseniya Simonova! Omg I love her, watch her videos on youtube. I should have figured it out when I saw Mika's sand-themed photos. What I understand is; there are a kid and her mother, then mother dies, people treats the kid bad, and the angel is the mother herself. I dunno if it's correct or not, I want to believe this.
Will it be real time performance again on sf?

You've got everything right
In the end it's a call for saving that child and caring about her.
Depends of ESC rules. Xeniya performs live all the time so it's not an exception probably ... I saw a cameraman behind her so maybe they will show her too )))

I knew Ukraine won't disappoint me From the beginning I love Mika and the the song. After seeing today's performance I'm even more amazed. Definitely will get my vote in the final, cause I'm sure you'll qualify

A lot of people complained that they were looking at the sand animation only and heard her vocals... I think on the semi-final it will be impossible not to notice her.
I know that the dress was packed in a separate bag. Not because it's mega expensive but because... find the answer on those promo pics.
There can be some changes between the semi and the final performances (if she qualifies).

^ Nah, it will be a dress, "unusual" dress.
Probably with a long dress train (like on the 3rd pic). I have no idea. If they involve equilibrist in the end it will be very beautiful.
They decided do not open all cards until the dress rehearsal.

Now who has the best backdrop? Sorry Greece it's not you any longer (to me it never was). Love the idea, like the song and Mika!
