Where the hell did the backing singers disappear to!? I still like the song but I used to love it, the contrast of the lighter sound of the backing singers and her strong voice was brilliant. Now she's the only singer it lacks the variety in the vocal part. They didn't ruin it as much as the Croatian entry did in reworking their song, but I still think they made it weaker.

My personal tip for Saturday:
- Don't oversing! You have a strong voice as it is, no need for over-singing or wailing.
- DON'T sing the nana parts!! Let the trumpets speak for themselves, they're cool and singing nana just makes it all annoying, especially when oversung that way.
If these things can be fixed, I can see Ukraine ending at a good position.

I actually disagree, the new Croatian version >>>>>>>>>>>>> old one... and adding the trumpets in the Ukrainian one during the "nana" parts made it better... I would even prefered the nana parts to be totally deleted as they are silly and irritating.. and just go with the instrumental parts in those bits.

That's not the song's fault, it's Gaitana's fault.
She really needs to tone it down, she literary screams throughout the song.
You're right there. This (and Estonia) both suffered from over-singing! (Although IMO the stage presentation was a bit too much as well)

She (like mostly everyone else) will surely perform a lot better in the final now that she got there.
I really liked the performance and this sort of pisses all over Moldova.
I think the only thing I didn't like were the dancers which didn't really add anything to the performance and were lost among the screens.

^ And again I completely agree with you. Also she can change her dress, the camera angles will be different for sure.
It seemed incredible from the venue - everyone stood up and danced, it was so much fun It seemed a lil' bit dead/sterile on the TV And not only for our entry, camera work was screwed almost for everyone (((
Ukrainian spokesperson is... Mattias (the guy is desperate for ESC
):
Even despite the 2nd semi coincided with the most rating show ("Bachelorette") final, almost 3 mil. people chose Eurovision which is better than 2011

Austria should thank Switzerland for 5pts out of 8Ukraine, say thank you to your dear neighbours
Just 3 points from Azerbaijan and only 6 from Georgia.
Estonia and Latvia don't vote for us constantly
Portugal and Spain gave us 0 last time. Greece, Ireland, Macedonia, Malta, Norway?
btw I & my family voted for Macedonia, Russia and Azerbaijan. Is it a crime or something?
