Not a fan of the new version either, but somehow Belarus is the underdog I hope will do better than expected

The press center during his performance:

 

[lacrymea]

I really liked his 1st rehearsal.

[Rowenna]

He is cute but his stand is slouched and that subtracts from his self-assured image and going after energetic Israel will not help him at all = xsorry - he is lovable though

 

[Sean]

Still astonished about this one. What a ridiculous performance

 

[Fierro]

This should qualify purely for memes.

Ugh, one sure-fire way to sink a song - go for the age-old random woman farting around like she has a bee in her underwear while the singer remains completely detached from it all, grimacing - well done , you're doing your best to wreck your chances

EDIT: have just read the full reviews of the whole performance, and this sounds like a hot mess! The clip on the official ESC YouTube account is very misleading

 

[Uvaro]

i really dislike this song but i wouldn't be mad if it qualified simply for how ridiculous the performance is

 

[EscGeek]

yaaaas, entertain me, dancer

Same. This used to be the song I was rooting against the most but now I could handle it qualifying.

 

[Ana Raquel]

lmaooooo this will go back to my top 20 if he continues with this ott performance I LIVE FOR THIS

 

[SerRusLena]

There are like 500 different versions of this song, my goodness

He didn't practise on his vocals either. He sings terribly! Very disappointing afterall I actually loved the original Video. :? Goodbye Belarus.

 

[lolita]

Wiwi's are amazed by Belarus, and people from here are laughing at it and trashing it. I don't know now what to expect from Belarus: top permormance or flop and kitsch.

what are you talking about? his vocals, for once, were actually almost perfect. If he sings like he did today and doesn't qualify, it won't be because of the vocals.

I am talking about the rehearsal yesterday. He doesn't hit his high notes correctly at all. Or maybe my ears are not correct.

I know. I didn't understand Wiwi's reaction. But maybe the 45 seconds doesn't reveal much and I am simply wrong. And I would be happy about being wrong since I like the song.
