[@robbie7370]

This song delivered so much positive energy and beat and Elena's voice was powerfull and sharp. I stopped watching Eurovision from 2009, because this song should've won 1st place and it only got the 19th position.

[@stellaherrera5866]

The backup singer isn't just standing there, she has her own dance moves💃 All these ladies are so gorgeously beautiful and talented, I was watching this entry as a child and I was dreaming to be like them when I get older 🧚‍♀️🪷🌺

[@GabrielaPS9622]

Romania trimite mereu voci foarte bune la Eurovision (Paula, Cezar, Luminita, Mihai, Ilinca, Elena, Nicola), dar constat si in acest an (2017) ca avem probleme cu TEXTUL (E plin de clisee). Eu inteleg ca trebuie sa "prinda la public", ca trebuie sa fie usor de inteles/retinut, insa ne trebuie MESAJ, oameni buni! Altfel, e pacat de ARTISTII pe care-i trimitem acolo sa NE reprezinte.

E adevarat fata e foarte talentata, dar pe de alta parte din ce in ce mai mult aspectul comercial, marketingul sufoca muzica...ca si arta. Din pacate e o realitate a zilelor noastre si daca nu revenim acuma la adevaratele valori lucrurile vor merge din rau in mai rau.

They didn't want to ban u.... you owe money to the EBU... for god sake.. it's something you have to learn it's a must in life to pay your bills...

[@bttm4u]

EBU is both football and and ESC so the debt is for the Chanel so... and Eurovision is amazing.... I am enjoying it and my country didn't pass to the final... I don't care... I love that for just one night we can all be together in our living rooms sit and watch it... laugh dance sing... eat have fun... with friends family whatever... this is the real meaning of the Eurovision not only about money and a country... I know that is your country... but there are debts more catastrophic than that... like Greece's my country... at least you can come back... and again in life there are negative and positive things just don't look only the negative ones;)
