Who cares about the lyrics, just look at her! She is having the time of her life! She is just so adorable. I can't
I'm French, so I was expecting something terrible, since Eurovision is -sadly- not a poetry contest
but it was actually cute for what it was: it's kind of ingenuous and suits the whole "fairytale" concept perfectly imo. And the subject matter is refreshing, it's not a dance-all-night-in-club or boy-meets-girl kind of story 
Actually, it's not particularly cringe-worthy to me. Don't get me wrong, I don't say it's amazingly well written, it's just cute and a little bit different than what we usually get.

I really like the lyrics, they fit in so well with the dreamy feel of the song and of Zoe's voice

I wasn't even hoping. I like this song a lot. It's so charming and carefree.
Very pleasant surprise!
Final will be better with this song offering some airy and happy emotions.
Good job Zoe!

I don't think this song was the best in the first semifinal, but I can't help but be SO happy for Zoe, she just seemed like she really wanted to be there and it seemed like performing at Eurovision was a dream come true for her - I'm glad the dream can go one step further for her

Funny thing about the odds: countries that didn't make it to the final rose also (like Greece +8!)

It was like something just suddenly clicked and now everyone 'gets' this song. About time too!!
Well done Zoe, this was the nicest surprise i've had in Eurovision for a couple of years!
She charmed the birds out of the trees with her performance. I think she will do well in the final too because the song grows and grows!
She's so cute and endearing. I would have preferred her with an orchaestra (violinists, cellists etc) staging with her wearing a dirndl but this works too.
Congrats to Austria!! This just shows you made the right choice at the NF.
And all those "professional" haters including Conchita had no idea what they were talking about.

What Conchita said about Zoë? I must have missed it.

I can't remember exactly but she said something like the strings and the beat didnt work well together and she didn't like the song.
Not really a hater, I know, but a doubter
Maybe she likes it now.PeterLPZ

This can be a big surprise on Saturday. This song is so beautiful, she is so charming and all together can bring the victory. Viel Glück Österreich.

I think she only criticized the staging of th NF. For the rest (song singing,...) she wasn't enthousiastic but she said that she loved it.

Quite what I thought. I was glad she qualified over some of this bombastic performances. Maybe there is some kinde of shift to mere basic performances.

Congrats 
I liked this song initially so I am happy to see that it's fairing (so far) better than I actually expected it. The song is cute (it's so sugary it becomes good lol) and Zoe did a good job, in fact I think she was probably the best vocally on the evening sounding almost identical to the studio version and no need for over-singing like half of the other bunch did. Though she looked like high on some happy pill, SLIGHTLY less smiling would actually be better in this case
