WTH? 5 Days without Comment??

Not enough hype, sadly. Not even [MENTION=13982]nunaney[/MENTION] with the new avatar works the hype in this thread into their favour.

Maybe it's just the way this song works. Before anyone performed live on this year's A Dal, AWS were just select favourites of those who enjoy rock music, like mine. Then there was hype after they first performed the song and I was like "no way!" because of the sudden hype, considering in an average context this is a no way mountain destroyer... but after that live, several people on .net were disappointed BOTH Danielfy and AWS can't go to Eurovision because in the end only one act could be selected. It even became a favourite of few who usually don't like the genre And then when Tamás H. failed to deliver a decent performance, he started to quietly fade into a corner chancewise... imagine if the similar scenario happens in May... especially among the internally chosen acts...

The song is among my top 5 actually since it was published. Even though I am a metalhead, I don't like all Metal music - just as in every genre there are bad and good songs. This one though is absolute wonderful. I listen to it daily actually. And I know that this will be one of the rare Songs I will listen to even when ESC has finished. I really hope with all my heart that this song will make ist way in ESC. xbb

yes, [MENTION=14749]BernadetteCydonia[/MENTION] , i see you liking my old posts trying to guilt me up to rank AWS higher, but here's the thing

<- in these countries one of my faves won..(yes, i even like belarus now, though i didn't at first, but since i'm bragging..)
you can't expect them all in my top 10.. especially if you add some excellent internal choices to the mix

 

[BernadetteCydonia]

^ It's not the reason I like your old posts... I am surprised I didn't like most of them earlier so that is why I do it now

yes I understand now most of the NF favs I had won (though there were more second-hand favs that did it but I didn't want them in ESC as much) but I did not rank them too high as well.

 

[DanielLuis]

I'm not usually a fan of this type of songs, but for some reason I really really enjoy this one! I hope we'll see Hungary in the final once again!

 

[lacrymea]

Changed my vote from 10 to 12. This is actually my favorite of the year.

Hope it does well, Hungary!

 

[nunaney]

No matter what happens, this will be the winner in my heart

I read on A Dal's fb page, that the outfit they wear in this pic will be their outfit in Lisbon too.

I like the choice it was my fave from Örs, the one he wore in the heat, with that red scarf in his back pocket.
I found his light blue denim jacket from the A Dal final to be a bit old-fashioned.

In this link https://adal.hu/cikk/2018/03/21/irany-portugalia-779 there's a video about their postcard shooting, they were in the town of Óbidos (very beautiful!) doing chocolate.

I would prefer other outfits tbh... but it's obviously still my favorite together with Estonia

We have the Same Top2 x12sx12s

An interview a Portuguese site did with them: http://www.eurovisionontop.com/apps...t-when-lordi-won-the-contest-it-was-the-best-
To my surprise, they heard of Salvador's winning speech.

Who would have thought? they're such different songs but great on their very own way

That makes them look like a teen rock band playing a summer gig :/ But maybe it makes sense as the song title is "goodbye summer" afterall... They should consider wearing something a little bit different for the final though (provided they make it but there's a 75% chance they will), á la the lead singer of Compact Disco all the way back in ESC 2012. Like this:

(obvs the final one is a bit worse but eh ;p)

And at least it's not the outfit from the NF final that Örs is wearing tbh I only feel like the second guy's outfit reminds me of an enemy Powseeker from Papa Louie 3.

No, thank you! Nem, köszönöm! Out of the 11 ESC 2018 second semi-final preview videos I've watched so far this evening, this is the second semi-final song I detest the most. I really hate this style of music. I hope this doesn't reach the Grand Final.

 

[mauve]

I hope this doesn't reach the Grand Final.

And I hope it does!

 

[BernadetteCydonia]

So Youtube recommended this upload to me and

honestly I don't even know what to say...

 

[Juliette]

Yay. It's not the first time Hungary chooses something still (relatively) unusual in Eurovision. Do I like it? Yes.

Wiwi's translated some snippets of an interesting interview with AWS: http://wiwibloggs.com/2018/04/04/aw...ovision-backing-vocals-bathing-shorts/220849/

I think the biggest take-away for me here is the answer to the question of "what the hell are they going to do with the backing vocals, since they had a choir-style backing in A Dal but only have space on stage for one backing singer at Eurovision?".

Apparently they're not just going to have the one backing vocalist – which I'm happy about, as I think it would've sounded weak – and instead will have three of the other band members also provide backing vocals. I'm still a little concerned because, and I quote: "Soma and Roni have never sung before." But they say it's sounding surprisingly good, so I'll keep my fingers crossed!
