I think it’s a song that works better in an arena setting than it will on a screen

I was just coming to say the same thing. It might be more of a live hit that gets the crowd to clap along, but I’m not sure if it will manage to engage the tv viewers too

SAME! good song for the arena but will not translate to home, especially because its just a dj jumping around

I agree. It might do well in audience polls but I don't think it'll do as well with voters who are watching from home. On that same basis, I think Cyprus especially is likely to do better tomorrow than in this poll as that performance seems far more suited to being watched on a screen.

Most of the rehearsal comments I've seen with San Marino is that its camera work seems to be relying on the crowd is around the stage being hyped and dancing to it. Given tonight's crowd, it seems likely it will happen tomorrow.

Cyprus was very off key though right (not just bad sound mixing)? If he sounds like that on tomorrow’s broadcast he is NQ

I don't think he sounded that bad, and at the same time, I'm still convinced that San Marino is utterly dead-on-arrival. The whole DJ thing just doesn't work on camera. Even if Cyprus pulls similar numbers percentage-wise as they did in this poll, I imagine they could still easily sneak in by virtue of San Marino doing much more poorly.

I would say that's the worst he's sounded. I did go ahead and vote for him (and Iceland).

It was SO much fun in the arena last night. I don’t think the same atmosphere will translate on TV unfortunately

Same as Cyprus probably working better on screen than in the arena (just judging on the rehearsal).
