This has grown on me. It has a nice catchy hook to it. The original live performance is awful, but that can be improved upon. I'd be shocked if his English pronunciation didn't radically improve in time for Malmo.
The 2013 Belgian hopeful Roberto Bellarosa informed his fans and followers last night that he was travelling to Finland to record the final version of his Eurovision entry Love kills.
Hmm I wonder why here... I thought that at least half of the ESC songs are made in Sweden nowadays...

I bet they think that a koskenkova Voka + a quick drop in the ice water + a day or two in the sauna would make his voice sound much better
If you allowed me to bring a liter or two of that vodka in the sauna I know that my voice would sound better too.

Listening to it something like 14-15 times... the song itself is not bad and at the end stay in my mind... the only live performace we have is something really awful! I really hope that the final version and his performance will be tuned for the live.
Main problem is that for all those will just listen for the first time while he'll live on stage, at this moment, he has really no chance...

Ugh, so last year we had a decent singer with a completely horrible song, this year we have a decent song imo with a terrible singer? I really hope he'll improve a LOT, and quickly! xcrossed (that, or switch to 'Reste toi' so he can focus on his singing instead of his language skills )

I'd prefer this!
(not just because it's in native language because it was the better song).People tend to forget that singing in a language you're not too familiar with also brings down your singing performance because it makes the singer a bit uncomfortable, and when the language doesn't come natural to you, the singing also becomes forced because half of energy that should be spent on singing instead turns into trying to remember and pronounce the words correctly.

Plus, it was on his album, so he knew the song, it was composed for him. The 2 others have been done for anyone. They were rejects of other national selections... What a shame !
Plus, would Roberto become known in France (where the marcket is latger of course) he should have sung in French. Anyway, he's not in our semi, so France will never see him in any ways...
But French Belgium has the trauma of the 2 last French language entries, the boring Le Grand Soir sung by a French musical singer, and the epic L'envie de vivre, which still is a reference of horror in Belgium !
But they hould come back to French... They would appeal to us much more !

You listened to this song how many times??????
I wanted to understand *WHY?* of such choice.
You know there are many songs/singers that you need to listen many many times before getting familiar and get all the bests from a song.... but people has to consider that ESC is at maximum a 2 shots and requires 1st-listening-very-good songs!!!

Love kills has been more or less completely remade.
"The version heard in public was ultimately just a demo version, and we are now finishing it and it will be good" says Jukka Immonen, co-writer of the entry. "
No news on when the song will be made available to the public.

7 points. He sounds a bit like a lite rock version of Bryan Adams. The chorus kind of drags on and on, though.

I forgot to rate this too. 5 points and I hope the revamped version will be better, this song has some potential but for now it's below average...

It's was a radio show, so the stage doesn't really matter (it never matters tbh) :roll:

Not every country holds over the top kitsch-fests like Sweden.

Oh plz, don't disrespect countries actually paying attention to this. I smell a desperation of envy in that response.
