SLOVENIA 2013 - Hannah Mancini - Straight into love

[Fred]

Wait ....
Do Slovenians hate Hannah Mancini? :s
WHY?

 

[strupberry]

why would we hate her?

pictures from the filming of the video
the article also says the song got minor changes, the polished version will be available soon

 

[demonl]

Maybe they hate her cause she is a talentless american hack? I'd take a Slovene singing a folk song over this.

 

[Fred]

No no
I mean, in youtube commentaries, most slovenians says that they hate her because:
"She's always a whore at aristocratic parties here and no one in Slovenia know who's she"

 

[LalehForWD]

Weak chorus? What are you guys talking about? She's a great singer and singing the sh!t of this tune! The song is perhaps a mix of bit and pieces though and I agree one got a feeling of a demo not really finished. Personally I would like them to work on the synth bass much more, remove the disco parts and go fully for some fine dubstep bass (syncopated beat).

I want them to completely get rid of the dubstep! It's annoying and adds nothing to the song!

I hope they keep the dubsteppy bits, at least in the introduction, and do something about the chorus. I think maybe even adding some backing vocals would help give it a fuller sound. As it is now, the verses build and build and build and then...nothing. It's a bit of a letdown (nothing to do with Hannah herself, who is great) and if they could fix that then it's got every chance.

Very good analisis! I fully agree, and with those changes Slovenia would fly directly into my top 10, and probably top 5. Now it is just outside my top 10.

I am afraid Slovenia wont even qualify this year. I really hope I am wrong!

I'm agreeing that the song we have now won't be the final release. It is a nice song but something is still missing. She's absolutely great and she'd deserve something little better!

Here's a video she posted on her facebook page

 

[alca]

Yeah I just saw the video. And then people say she can't sing? Really? :?

She can sing, really. The problem is the song, is not as good as her. Just like Zlata, but at least Zlata's song is likable. This one is a total waste of a great vocalist IMO.

 

[alca]

I like the song! A lot (it's in my top 10). It will climb up in my top 10 if they get rid of the dubstep!

 

[CypriotGirl]

I read somewhere that this song was firstly chosen to be the Slovenian entry but then because it was already played in the radio before September, they chose "Straight into love". I don't know if this is 100% true though (or if it was mentioned in the past).

I personally like it much more than "Straight into love" but I don't think it's ESC material.

 

[EscGeek]

that's true

and yes,this song is better

 

[alca]

Love the song! ^^

 

[Fred]

Bring back to Life is a good song.
But it have no much vocal part.
It'll be a problem like Symphony of love

 

[Fluke]

I think this is a little better than what's usual for the genre, and i'm sticking with it. It's definitely in the "upper middle" of this year for me!

I agree on that, it's a good dance track but Eurovision is a contest where it has to be more about vocals and not so much about instrumentation, especially now that the music is not played live. What will they be doing during all these instrumental parts? They'd have a couple of DJs pretending they're playing live music?
