Austria AUSTRIA 2016 - Zoë - Loin d'ici

[Dutchball]

I didn't at all expect her to qualify because both French language and Austria don't usually do well in ESC. But she deserves it. It's very special, different from the others.

i have the feeling that this could become a race between netherlands and austria again ;-) hope netherlands will get a good position in the first half. austria would be perfect for number 26 ;-)

And here we have the only 100% non-English entry of the final... :?

As unlikely as it is, I WOULD LOVE IT. Everybody talking about Russia and France, and then out of the blue these two come in

That would be hilarious.

Perfect spot after Georgia! She'll enchant us all!

Yepp, the position is hilarious. Contrast couldn't be bigger. I hope Zoë will have the performance of her life.

 

[Vulgarnost]

Like a fairytale.

So Austria is the only country singing entirely in another language than english..... I hope with a brilliant result that will encourage others to try the same next year so that we'll have more diversity in terms of languages. At least, that was one of the features that makes Eurovision so special, as we also heard in the brilliant opening number of Mans and Petra at the second semi-final.

it seems that everything just runs perfectly for austria. 24 between georgia and uk is just perfect. somehow it still is unbelievable that austria can win it again, but i have the feeling it could become true tomorrow.

Thank you for that. Plus, Austria singing in French is a real honor for the French language and the Francophonie.

Cause I´m coming at you like a pink horse

Are you ready for, ready for A PERFECT STORM???

If blocking overhyped Russia, France and Australia from winning I'd be happy to root for the little pink horse in the contest...

Bulgaria is still the best by far this year, but I don't see it get the support it should so I actually think Austria could surprise us all in the end... but not sure if this is something juries would like... it's not in English and it's not plain boring unoriginal stuff ... it's sugary as hell but it works in this contest and Zoe makes it credible.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

My opinion of this entry has gone up and down, and I've settled on that I like it... in fact, really like it, and it's up there not far behind the big hitters for me. However, I worry that this song is too sweet and inoffensive to make people think "I'm gonna vote for that" when they've got legs 11 from Armenia and Sergey with wings to choose from too.

Final Verdict

8 points
Position I want: 13th
Position I think: 24th​

oy you ready to party?

 

[hungo]

good luck to zoe! i hope for top 5!

 

[Carian]

Although I am not a fan of this song, I must admit this could be a potential surprise top3. Watch out on this little entry, Europe will vote her - and if the juries do too, then it has decent chances of taking the trophy...

 

[Sammy]

I'm so excited.....
