She's not as nervous as the semi-final but still...

They shouldn't have put her out there alone. It's the most incredibly dead performance. Song is fine.

She reminds me of Lena from Germany a few years ago with the accent coming through. Think this is the winner!

Ukraine pulling the old RTE trick of putting out an act that definitely won't win, so they won't have to pay to host the contest next year.

Bad trick as Ireland won it once 3 years in a row.

Hope she wins.

Its a good song, when not sung live. Was in Brussels during the week and heard it on the wireless several times. Not bad at all.

maybe its part of the act that she looks sullen and delicate with the quiet vocals...like a lana del rey

I think that was on purpose as she sang about being all alone.

Is it me or are the acoustics very bad? I have hardly been able to make a word of most of the songs.

The Belgium wan's fierce cute. I hope she wins.
Portugal was decent, too, except aesthetically.

Like this song. Like to choose based on what I'd listen to in the car. But she does look so nervous...bless!

Better performance from Belgium than the semi. Top ten maybe.
