Austria AUSTRIA 2016 - Zoë - Loin d'ici

[Chorizo]

Btw, her performance at the Amadeus Austrian Music Awards 2016 has been uploaded on Youtube:

The candy canes are a good match for the diabetes theme of the song but this background looks even worse than the background in the NF.

I have fresh news guys !
It seems that the interval act will be a musical play involving several artists and Zoë is likely to be the main protagonist.

That's creepy

I know it's a joke, but that would be kinda cool, wouldn't it?

Like for the semis or something, they have this musical thing involving all of the artists competing in that semi.

 

[Uvaro]

i can't see this coming anywhere higher than about 14th in the semi, and that's if i'm being optimistic.

 

[aef]

I'm quite happy with our spot in the semi final! What's your opinion?

 

[Rayman]

I agree with you aef. Since 2012, this spot in the first semi always brought a qualification. Let's hope this chain won't be broken !

 

[Sammy]

I think it's a good spot.

 

[hungo]

12 is good
but it will be very hard to reach the final. too much competition!

 

[Sammy]

I'm getting more and more confident about a qualification. The song has got an instant appeal to a broad audience and also in many polls she's doing well. In the ESC Nation poll she even rose significantly over the past two weeks.

I love Austria's song this year. I gave it 10 points in the poll. Good luck from the UK

The profile video on the ESC channel is soooo nice:

Interview with wiwibloggs in Amsterdam:

And here is a recording of Zoe's performance at the Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam:

Every single time I hear the song, I love it a little more.
I would be so disappointed if Zoe didn't qualify for the final.

 

[ESCada]

This song has substance and It doesn't include lines like Facetime (khm khm), so SLAAAAY Zoe !!!!!!!!!

 

[Sammy]

She has got such a great feedback from the audience both in Amsterdam and in Tel Aviv! And she seems to feel so confident on stage still she's staying very natural. Great job Zoe!

Oh noooo.....Zoe with her new performance at "Dancing Stars"

This is a step back

 

[ZoboCamel]

Non-region-locked version of the performance:

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

Sorry, I cannot watch the second version either (in Germany).

Edit: Can you explain a lttle, why this is "a step back"?

 

[Sammy]

What worked well in the video doesn't work so well on the stage. I think they will have to work on that. also the snowflakes don't seem to be a good idea..

But vocally she was once again flawless!

 

[sigi]

The background does not fit with the music and the treadmill is irritating me (and Zoe)....

 

[aef]

Why those snowflakes and that cold background?? :? She once said she wants to create a good feeling with her song but with that winter theme this doesn't work at all...
