Austria AUSTRIA 2015 - The Makemakes - I Am Yours

[tsegaye]

I don't get it, are the songs released? I have not followed the selection as you might guess

I think, we have got a quite good choice of artists here. All depends on the song now. I'd love to see Zoe representing Austria with a french song!
I would have taken 10 finalists though to have even a broader variety in the final.

i dont think that the audience nor the jury will go for a french song, seems like her second song is in german, even worse chances then. and for zoe (she is just 18 and in the beginning of her carreer) its ok to get known in austria first. i think she is not ready for the big, big stage and it would not be good for her to fail. she is a big talent but i guess she has not really found her own style yet, maybe better to wait one or two years when she has more experience. i really like her.

the songs will be released in the third show, 6 march. yesterday only the artists were chosen.

Yep, no Heart of Stone But their 2 new songs are great too.

i am sure heart of stone will be in the top ten charts in two weeks when they present two other songs, that could be strange. but if the songs are good.....

What happens in the 2nd show?

What happens in the 2nd show?

Orf says, it's about proving their vocal capacities....

[MENTION=4452]ronny1988[/MENTION] said they'll sing 2 covers each - also something you wouldn't expect from them. So kinda irrelevant.

Johann Sebastian Bass would be perfect. x12s

 

[Chorizo]

BASS is great too. I wonder if they could do a stage performance like that at Eurovision.
Their music would certainly be a welcome change from the usual ballads and pop songs.
I'm really eager to see their Eurovision songs in two weeks.

 

[anselm]

We really need to send JSB.

 

[NikkiBoy]

Am i the only one who is hoping for Zoe to represent Austria?

 

[Sean]

Am i the only one who is hoping for Zoe to represent Austria?

I think JSB is their best chance but I'm a sucker for electroswing so if Zoe brings a similar song next round then it'll be tough to decide

 

[anselm]

Am i the only one who is hoping for Zoe to represent Austria?

I really like Zoe too but JSB would be more epic and suitable host-entry-wise.

 

[NikkiBoy]

I agree with you [MENTION=4386]anselm[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4371]Sean[/MENTION], in my opinion it's the 2 strongest entrants for the NF!
Can't wait to hear their potential ESC-entries

 

[marty]

jsb would be perfect, they have something traditional austrian but are crazy, cool and unique

 

[Sammy]

Am i the only one who is hoping for Zoe to represent Austria?

No, me too! If she sings in french.
That would make a change.

 

[WithNoFrills]

Johann Sebastian Bass would be epic in Vienna.

 

[NikkiBoy]

No, me too! If she sings in french.
That would make a change.

I love the french language, but i think that if Zoe sings in english she will appeal to a wider group = a better result

But if the french song is killing bloody good i would prefer the french song! Good to have some varied songs in Eurovision.
Hopefully she'll sing one in english and one i french
