Austria AUSTRIA 2019 - PÆNDA - Limits

[gingerale]

Hmm. I heard it only once, but its still in my head. The mantra works.

 

[Clinty]

relistened and I like it more but the staging definitely's gonna determine whether this is captivating and immersive or A Nothing that gets lost in the shuffle

 

[hungo]

thats a very good choice. Austria keeps sending real good songs. this year there are so many awful songs. this is fresh and different. she has got a great voice. probably similar to the last years the jurys will love it. televotes difficult to predict.

 

[hijirio]

Weird. It is so close to being amazing, but the lack of something prevents it from being so. Maybe it's electronic sounds.
The instrumental is too weak.
I won't be rooting for Austria this year.

 

[sigi]

Sophisticated artificial yes

 

[Ezio]

My water gates opened at the second listen. I played it loud. Laying on my bed, forming a fist as to holding onto something and letting it go. Universe, take me away.

In a sea of mnaufactured bops and wannabe edgy songs, this is where I turn to. A moment as powerful as my first encounter with Amar pelos dois.


And now floating off to work.

Lol this is this first time in god knows how many years Austria have selected something daring and Not Safe. The last time chronologically might as well have been Schmetterlinge (jk it was Conchita, rip) I wish more countries did this to be honest. #FuckSafety

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.

My notion is that th likes of Czechia, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Denmark, will swallow each other up. It‘s a pile of songs trying to be too cool for Eurovision and go bust.

Only Portugal, Spain, Albania, France and Austria have a unique selling position.

Let's not forget Island.

 

[Ezio]

Let's not forget Island.

True. Grew on me a lot. But did not swallow me yet like Paenda did in one big gulp.

I prefer the universe over darkroom sounds. Preferences ;D

 

[BorisBubbles]

Too bad Iceland are winning then .



Also, while 'Limits' is good, it isn't winning. There's too much of a votebase overlap with other "75%+ Udda" entries such as Portugal and The Netherlands. The winner will be something easy to get into with a crystal clear message (ie: , but perhaps or as well ).

Who would have thought that would be the best germanspeaking Country this year?
Cant give more than 2-3 Points later. Sorry Neighbours.

I prefer a universe full of darkrooms.

 

[Citelis]

Good one! 3 points i guess?

 

[Ezio]

I prefer a universe full of darkrooms.

Universe is quite a dark room you know

germanspeaking?

 

[Citelis]

OK 5 points because it is a nice song!

 

[aef]

She get's 4 points from me for now... I expected something much more edgy with more drive... This is so FM4 but on the 80% bad side not on the 20% good side... Nothing for Eurovision sadly. It will be a disappointing year for fans

 

[Citelis]

This needs some jury help to get a good result! No one can make it win but we will see it in the final!

 

[BorisBubbles]

Hmm, I haven't decided yet, but I'm giving either 8 or 7 points.
