Austria AUSTRIA 2019 - PÆNDA - Limits

[GlamSIMorous]

Hmmmm ... a NQ for me. Very stripped back, but therefore lackluster. I think she shouldve gone with the electronic kind of music she did so well in the past.
My biggest problem might be her very high pitched voice. She keeps the high notes throughout the whole song. Hmmmm .. A little letdown. Because I love her persona and appearance, but this is nothing. :?

I quite liked some of her previous songs but this is just noting for me... I really can't see it making any impact at Eurovision. Well definitely not with the televoters. A huge step back after last year....

 

[Lindon]

Like Robert Kratky said: "I was waiting for a boom, that didn't come"

a deliberate decision

 

[aef]

An where exactly got her edgy electronic style lost? This ist just boring and bland :? Oh gosh

 

[BorisBubbles]

Oh you make it sound like it's a Martina Barta.

Oh well, all qualification streaks have to end someday, right?

 

[Sammy]

a deliberate decision

well I hope so - otherwise it would be highly unprofessional. But it might have been the wrong one.

 

[aef]

That high voice makes me so uncomfortable... Who thought that was a good idea? It's basically just whispering at the beginning...

 

[Sean]

Any link for those who missed it?

 

[Sammy]

I'll give that a second chance later on, but a qualification seems to me very difficult, especially in the second semi. We can still hope for a great staging though.

Better than I expected. 2 points 2

Paenda wishes she'd reach Martina Barta's level.

 

[Clinty]

This is nice? I feel like live it'll come together with the whole stage atmosphere and everything but for now it's nice, assuming she's not shit

 

[BorisBubbles]

Of course you guys were overexaggerating. The song is...really good lol. This is like "Seis" by Mick Pedaja. A very bold choice for ESC. GJ Austria ^__^

We can still hope for a great staging though.

Staging is everything for this song, also the running order. First-Half is not really the best for songs like this. I am confident about the staging. Conchita, Nathan and César really elevated their entries with the staging.

I like the song but I am also disappointed. But I have the need to hear it again, so that is a good sign. But growers are not really for Eurovision. I really hoped for more electronic layers.

 

[Ezio]

Omg wow, much better than I expected. Instant click with me. I want to dissolve into the universe with this song, this is not Jupiter in Sagittarius, this is the superior Neptune in Pisces catered to.

 

[mauve]

I don't think that the song is bad, it's unusual. But it's a song not for ESC at all. That's the Problem. And the uhhu's are getting on your nerves after a while. :? After I really loved Austria's entry last year, this one is rather a disappointment, but as said not really bad either. I'd give it a 5.

 

[SwissKung]

A subtle indie-electronica song, that must be the biggest risk this year at Eurovision and I am so glad Austria is taking it. a 2019 cheerful Seis version, with a similar staging this could surprise many people and reach a top 10.

12 points from me.

 

[Soul]

I like it and think it can stand out if she performs it well...the second verse seems to be really hard to sing though...We'll see

 

[LontraCanadensis]

So I had only caught the tail-end of this when I tuned into the radio, so I had thought that the final chorus (the weakest part) was representative of the whole thing. But listening to the whole song, I like it much more. It's certainly in danger of being swallowed up on the night, especially if she doesn't perform well, but it's a good product. I liked the bridge a lot.
