BELGIUM 2013 - Roberto Bellarosa - Love kills

[Marie Jane]

It's a nice song, not amazing, but it's ok.

6 points.

 

[Anthony Tesla]

I kinda see a good song all over this mess. The performance doesn't help at all, he really REALLY needs to improve it.

 

[DannyDS]

The song itself is OK.

His vocals are crap and his English is horrible.

Having said that, I give this entry a 4.

 

[Lonter]

Right now it's completely underwhelming. Much time for progress I guess though, but it needs all of it, and badly.

What an uninspiring song, the song is soooo dull and predictable, it hurts.
Roberto sounded HORRIBLE, OMG I was embarrassed for him. I need to listen to the Studio version and maybe I'll change my mind a little but I have a really bad feeling about this.

LOL we all do, but what can we expect. Wallonia usually sends rubbish acts. Seriously, if they don't care about ESC at all, just let the VRT pick our entry every year.

A clear beat would be good. We must assume he will be in tune next time, so I'll await a new version. Current live performance doesn't promise much though.

 

[CypriotGirl]

Good song overall, radio friendly and catchy. I noticed his live vocals weren't so good because he seemed to have a sore throat, so he can improve until May. But it's nothing amazing for ESC. In some parts, the change of tone really kills it.

 

[Fluke]

Dammit Central Europe, get your **** together.

Witloof Bay was awesome :K

Obligatory mention of Urban Trad as well.

 

[DannyDS]

Urban Trad.

I read somewhere that the composer of this song is the same with Cyprus 2011? :?

Yeah, one of the worst Cypriot entries....

In co-operation with the composer of 2011. ;;

So it's a hybrid of Cyprus and Azerbaijan 2011? 2

Actually, it's better than Cyprus 2011 by miles as a song, but Roberto as a performer gives me something similar with Mylordou, he's like a brick on the wall singing, no emotions, zero star quality, nothing. Only with a song like "Me And My Guitar" or "Standing Still" he could do something, and that's what I expected from Belgium, to be a quite "bland-ish" song but cute. With this song, I'm pretty sure he'll stay in the semi no matter what.

 

[DannyDS]

I hope we stay in the semi. xcrossedxcrossedxcrossed

Since when Evan Lysacek sings? lol

as for song, idk, it starts nice, but doesn't go anywhere. it seems like one continuous verse: refrain is too similar to the rest of the song, doesn't stand out enough to "wake you up"
this might be corrected by a different arrangement, but for now it's a 3 for me.

 

[NeonProject]

It was going so well until the dubstep break and the key-change :/ I actually thought "Wow, Belgiums gonna crack it" but after that, it's a no from me... I really wanted it to be a yes. 4 Points.

 

[Yamarus]

Not half as bad as I expected it to be, I think the studio version might even be quite decent. But he seems to be having an awful hard time hitting the high notes. Overall I won't bet on a qualification, very doubtful anyway, but honestly I'm relieved... Iris was such a huge disappointment last year, at least this has room for some improvement IMO.

 

[DannyDS]

In what way was Iris a disappointment? For being Flemish?
