Raul: Hello, Israel! Let’s keep it to the SONG CONTEST part. I have to say that I didn’t expected what they send. The composition is actually pretty good, the lyrics are good, her voice with the instrumental are just good. With a good staging this can be in top 13 without doubts. What can they do for the staging? Maybe a light show will help with some close up camera angles? Yes they can definitely help. I have to be rude a bit. If the song was send by other country, the fandom were been in fire for this (I had to said that)
Grade: 8/10

Laurentiu: Compared to last year’s Hurricane, this year’s entry feels like a clear step down. While the song is well-produced and the artist has undeniable vocal talent, she lacks stage presence and charisma — there’s something a bit bland and forgettable about the overall package. The lyrics are, frankly, cringey at times, with obvious references that try too hard to evoke emotion but end up feeling forced. I do enjoy the song, but it doesn’t move me the way it clearly intends to. Maybe top 10 again but definitely undeserved. Leaving politics aside, this entry is decent, but far from impactful.
Grade: 7/10

Stefania: It’s like opening a mystery box and finding… yet another language switch. The lyrics, though? A bit too cliché for my taste, and that keeps me from fully connecting. It’s emotional, well-composed, and clearly built for impact. But me? I’m still waiting to feel something more from the on-stage performance.
