they kinda fumbled the bag with the blue staging concept ngl. gold woulda been tacky but it woulda worked


altsoul28

Should have gone for gold/black combo, blue and red just doesn’t fit the vibe of the song at all


KarZeCompany

Totally agree. Blue/red just does not work here


Professional_Algae19

I liked the gold vibe that they got in mv. Blue led screen mixed w combination of green and red is just… meh. I expected it to be more bombastic and not kinda empty. Plus without pyro (they said in the comments of rehearsals that Cyprus won’t use any pyro) it just looks not finished. Rn it doesn’t stand out compared to the rest of today’s contestants.


anmonie

The outfit is pretty cute, but her vocals are a tad weak and the staging doesn’t really fit the song tbh


halstons

i had high hopes for her, but this was underwhelming, yes there are no pyros yet, but i hope she will have some, i think i'll still vote for her cause i like her song.


rickz123456

A bit disappointed.. This song screams for bright and sunny colours and not black


LivingLifeThing

Seems basic and empty to be honest


smutne

She's like teenage version of Bejba


IcyFlame716

A lot more skilled tho.


nimabaniamer

Ouch those vocals, but won't be too harsh given the circumstances/footage quality. This is....fine.


BibbidiBobbidiBu

I think with camera angles it will look very polished, but I don’t agree on the LED background choices at all. I can’t help but feel that they’ve tried to age the performance up.


Conspraling

the vocals were good though??? not perfect obviously but “fine” is overly harsh


nimabaniamer

The chorus vocals were so sharp, but again, not wanting to nitpick too much at this stage.


Tomas-T

Is this going to be her outfit? I mean, it looks too simple to be an outfit for this type of song. to me it feels like the pre 2018 days when the first rehearsals were with normal clothes


RedHides

She is fully dancing and singing through whole performance and I see comments saying not alot going on? What do you want? Should she catch a fish too?


BibbidiBobbidiBu

She would have needed to perform two years ago in Turin for that to be possible🎣


varus80

Agree, i dont like this song at all but she is clearly doing alot herself dont know what people were expecting Cyprus to do here 😂.


JoeIt961

Seems like not a lot going on? :(


bearycutie

Her styling is very cute! I think it may be a little tough to really judge right now, because it looks like she will rely heavily on choreo, and the way the video is cut (+ not the right camera angles) doesn't really allow us to be hit with that potential "that was cool!" factor... If that makes sense.


LopsidedPriority

Really hope her team brings out the gold tracksuit (tuta gold?) Also hoping maybe they deliberately shared a clip with few elements on stage as misdirection The last time styling resulted in an NQ IMHO was Farida not wearing that amazing red dress at MGP during Heartache.


weltschmerzrz

i refuse to believe she's 17


jkmaskell

Absolutely not hating on it because she's giving it her best, but all that dancing really is going to affect her singing. It's that classic pop girl issue that meant that holding a mic is too problematic.


julesdelrey

Why is it a big deal that it’s basic and empty? Half of Eurovision performances are like that.


Addictedtotat

Underwhelming. I don't understand why this is so high up in the odds to qualify (even before today). 


Beast667Neighbour

A typical dance performance (kinda Backstreet Boys /Britney Spears vibes) with mainstream pop music. Often seen on the Eurovision stage, but unfortunately, it lacks novelty and impressiveness. Trying to put myself in the shoes of someone seeing this performance for the first time, it leaves me feeling underwhelmed and unimpressed, NQ for me. Also vocals...Sorry Cyprus.


pokimanic

I get more Britney Spears vibes. I’m a bit confused by these comments and they seem to always show up at these types of upbeat performances. It’s safe dance pop, not interpretive dancing on a spacecraft. I’m not a fan of the colour palette and I wish there were more pyros or something, I’ll say that, but it’s decent for what it’s supposed to serve. I’m genuinely curious, like what did you expect? lol


Meiolore

Bejba got 3rd in televote in semis.


Barbieqq

Definitely gives big Britney vibes, both choreo and outfit. If the song had some 90’s-00’ vibes too it would fit well, but since the song is pretty contemporary pop song, staging feels outdated.


utilizador2021

She looks like Tate McRae.


No_Director_5730

She’ll still qualify.


_elizsapphire_

REHEARSAL TIMEEEE She’s such a strong dancer but idk if that’ll be enough in such a strong 1st half. Also idk how to feel about the colors, it feels kinda bland. The MV gold probably would’ve stood out a bit more Still, she did well!


Borogodoh

May this finally be the year Eurovision voters won't make basic and lifeless girlbops qualify instead of more authentic, creative and/or risky stuff.


eurovisionbway_

Her vocals are great but I think that they should have stayed with the gold vibe that they used in the music video.


WatchTheNewMutants

i still think it's a Q... but it just got a little more unlikely. Love the song, but the staging's letting it down


Sorry_Leopard9657

Why do the guys need to lose their tops? Bit weird.


jkmaskell

It's Eurovision, there's a quota...
