[ESC United Mod Team]

I had no idea that he was so young! Very professional performer (unfortunately the song does nothing for me but one of my friends is crazy about it, he's his favourite this year with Louane!).

It’s not about his voice really, it’s just that it’s very lacking imo, not strong enough to carry out this song

I quite like most of our entries actually lol. Super proud of Gåte last year, KEiiNo, Margaret Berger, Mørland and Debrah Scarlett… overall I feel like we’ve got the results we deserved in Eurovision

Believe it or not, I love every one of those, especially Margaret Berger. I jam to “feed you my love” at least once a day lol. I definitely see where you are coming from, putting Kyle up against vocals from Gåte, MB, or Alexandra from Keiino, yes, he is lacking. But I remain hopeful that by the time we hit the big stage it will all come together. The phrase “be my own lighter” has a pretty powerful meaning to Kyle personally so I hope he can share it loud and proud

I think it's probably qualifying. IMO it's not neither particularly bad nor good. The risk is that it gets forgotten in the SF among other 'bops'.

The orchestra version is amazing. It works so good.

While i still don't like this song, i'm surprised how well the orchestral version worked. Could this be a way of edging towards proposing to re-introduce the orchestra next year?

If Austria wins (one of the world's capitals of symphony orchestras) that would make it even more likely...

He playbacked his Madrid performance though. Might not yet be able to keep up with the stress of eurovision at that young age?

I would not say it is a defenite qualifier yet. Depends on the performance in May.

No. Obvi everything sounds better with live orchestra, but it's just too much work and human resource and technicalities and even just space. They're not gonna make their lives harder than it already is.
