Well, he should be thankful that

I agree, he's only 16 I hope people aren't too toxic to him on social media and that if he NQs he doesn't see it as the end of his career. I don't like the song and I think people are entitled to criticise it constructively online but I don't like when people cross the line and start sending toxic hate directly at the artist calling them a failure etc. It's already happening with Wild Youth after the 'Ian Banham controversy', they've had to make their twitter accounts private.

They had 2 minutes of half-decent product, and they decided to show the disastrous 30 seconds? Are they nuts?

Watching the full reahearsal video i feel i must revoke some previous statements i made. The staging, despite some cringeworthy elements like the led screen with the face of the performer is surprisingly decent, so kudos to Rigos for that. The problem here is clearly Victor. No idea what happened to him. Cannot sing and seems lost, as if he had a panic attack. Sad...

What did you find decent in that staging? I swear that led creeped me out during the first chorus. The greek letters in Times New Roman on the screen look cheap and the dull brown colour is cold and uninviting. Rigos said was going for " minimal ", but with such a busy led you cant focus on poor real Victor at all.
This is the worst staging Greece has ever done, hands down for me. Yanna Terzi's blue hand is a masterpiece compared to this uninspired cringefest
Then you have Victor who tries to be overenergetic, sacrificing vocals and the emotion/essence of the track

Don´t understand why so many still think it´s a good idea to have a gigantic version of the artist in the background. It nearly always looks creepy as hell, still have nightmares of
2019.

Victor looks like a zombie on that led so it reminded me of Demy's infamous floating corpse

I... I just hope he qualifies. My heart just aches so much because I can't say Greece is one of my favourites this year...

Yeah this is unfortunate-There are good ways to do faces on LEDs and sadly this is not it....
Yes, and both sat firmly in my top 10 I'll admit! Victor's song sadly isn't. I don't think it's even that bad, I love the tone of his voice but it's just not my fave.
