The difference is phenomenal

Alyona alyona slipped a little bit on the first dress rehearsal while entering the stage, but she got up in a second and continued like nothing happened It didn't get into TV version, so people watching the stream didn't even notice. Moreover, it made her even more excited while she was ending the rap part

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

I don't like this song at all and the rap bit is the worst part, sorry....

 

[Kentish]

Very disappointed with the full live. If there's a story they're trying to tell with this staging, it's not going to be clear to the viewers what it is. Some parts of it look quite cheap as well (pre-recorded clip of Jerry is so out of place).

They are trying their best, and Jerry especially has come a long way and gives a great, great performance Ukrainians can be very proud of. But the staging is a failure and as a result Ukraine is out of contention for the win.

I thought the rock moment was the 2nd chorus but it isn't. It's such a high point that everything after that kind of seems flat.

Can't wait to see this one live finally!

From what I've seen with leaks, the staging isn't as good as I thought. Still a candidate to do very well overall, but IMO the rap part isn't handled well & the two parts aren't really working together; and that one LED of Jerry looks really weird, like some holy Maria Version or something. Way too religious for my taste. The last LED is a really cool idea, but it's not really working for me because the 'female empowerment' message isn't coming through at all. So I'm not surprised their odds are dropping (down to 9% now).

All that said, Jerry & Alyona seem like sweethearts, and ofc they'll easily qualify. I hope they can really enjoy their ESC experience.

 

[Chorizo]

I like the beginning of the song, but I don't like the rapping and there is way too much of it. The ending is better again.
6 points because of the rapping.

Already voted from ROTW. Good luck (although Ukraine doesn't really need it)!

 

[Judas]

The performance was really good. I wasn't a huge fan but my thoughts have changed after tonight's show. Ukraine is really good this year, well deserved final.

 

[Sultana]

This song was the only song from this year which I decided to listen to back in April. One of my favourite entries so far, second best in semi and I hope in esc overall! Staging adds depth to the song, makes everything even smoother! I hope it’s a top-3 result in the grand final. And definitely will listen to this song as it is already in my playlists

 

[Sammy]

The staging was really great. Good job Ukraine.

 

[GermanBango]

I got goosebumps when Jerry went up that mountain. Performance is as amazing as expected.

 

[Storm]

I don't like Jerry's outfit actually. I get what they were going for but she looked stunning in the national final. But the song was one of the few highlights in my opinion.

 

[AliceEsc]

It looked amazing. I also thought that the cliff part would be later on, but they kept it interesting. Jerry and Alyona had passion, one of my favorites tonight.

 

[Fluke]

Okay so... musically it's not bad but this song still makes absolutely no sense to me. I've read the translations and explanations of course, but when i see it performed nothing sits right in my eyes. I don't get how so many others can "get it" so easily. And i still think the first part sounds like it should be at the end and vice versa, but none of them fit together anyway. Still think it'll make mid-low top 10, though.

 

[HayashiM]

My girlfriend got mesmerised by the staging and for once connected well with the women empowerment message she usually finds too forced. She also made an interesting observation about Jerry possibly posing for Jeanne d'Arc which I now find super obvious but didn't realize before (nor have I seen it mentioned).

Fabulous song, fabulous staging, has nailed it once again.

 

[Uto]

I didn't like the song. Felt weakish, repetitive and the rapping turns me off. The staging makes it all make sense and this is now among my favorites. The staging isn't even conceptually wild, but I mean it's just going from one evocative scene to the next with an absolute heartstopper when Jerry turns to walk up the cliff defiantly. Gorgeous.
