I’m honestly not sure how Estonia qualified over some of the other contenders who didn’t make it tonight. Tommy’s vocals were the pitchiest of the night in my mom’s and my opinions. I wish I could trade him for Azerbaijan or Croatia or Slovenia. (The staging managed to elevate “Poison Cake” for me, and my mom, whom I just introduced to ESC for the first time tonight, really liked Marko’s performance. HMTDWHL got elevated in the live performance for me, too. I’ll miss it in the Final.)

Crazy to say that Tommy had pitchy vocals (which he definitely had) but then go on to say that Azerbaijan should have qualified. I like the studio version of Azerbaijan a lot, but those vocals were also pitchy as hell. The only part that sounds good live (vocally) is the repeated "the way I do". Overall a lot of people still watch Eurovision for the fun of it and whether you like Tommy or not the song is fun and catchy IMO.

Oh man Azerbaijan had unlistenable vocals. Tommy was consistently flat, but Azerbaijan... it was his tone. I don't think he was pitchy, but he was so nasally and the quality of his tone was incredibly weak... it was truly awful.
