Aw, poor Ester! I think the staging was great, it had a musical-theatre quality to it without being tasteless imo. I liked that she played Cezar's cousin: vampires rule! Periodt! And Romanians know how to stage their entries.

Vocally, she killed it (duh) and was into her performance as always.

I liked the song from day one, but it's a grower imo: personally it took me some time to see the full beauty of the composition. I did fear one listening wouldn't be enough for viewers to "get" it. While it did stand out sonically in semi 2, the melody was a bit difficult to grasp overall. To me, it shared similarities with "Funny Girl" that was also dropped by people. Pity those two didn't do better.

With that being said, I could have lived with Ester losing to Bella, but NOT to Laura. Her song was not cutting it for me. Given the support she had from Romanians, she could have the means to try again with a better composition someday.
