Austria AUSTRIA 2019 - PÆNDA - Limits

[hugh]

I like this, I get an Ellie Goulding vibe from this.

I can see Austria being in the final for another year.

 

[Ichbinjari]

Very touching.

Oh, I thought trash, my bad

The video is even worser than the song. Looks so cheap … :?

Video directed by Lelo Brossmann
Camera: Manu Grafenauer & Philipp Reiterer
Lighting & projection: Stefan Csàky
Make-up: Karin Ruthardt
Hair: Lisa Entholzer
Concept & production: PAENDA, Kerstin Breyer, Lelo Brossmann & Thomas Hangweyrer

The projection material contains footage from the ebition „City of Women – Female Artists In Vienna From 1900 to 1938“ in the Belvedere Vienna.

 

[BorisBubbles]

The clip doesn't look cheap. It looks lazy and uninspired. I hope the staging is more creative at least (which isn't Austria's strength, but there's always a time to learn new things)

This is interesting. I really like the direction of ESC this year, nice to see broadcasters decide to play risky.

The atmosphere might lift it above most songs

What I don't like about the video is that she is just standing in front of a screen/projection. The Pictures are fine and I like that the blue color matches her hair. Just the way they did it Looks - as BorisBubbles said it better - "uninspired".

 

[Schlagerman1]

Wow, Austria, this is quite a different entry. And I really like it. I even started to cry to this, I don't know why, but I think PAENDA really touched me. The song might not be that special perhaps, not really ESC-friendly either to be honest, but she is a star and really brings out the emotion of the song. Well done Austria, but you are given me even more problems trying to sort out my top songs, it is getting way too crowded in my top 10 right now.

 

[Realest]

For me this is the real Austrian Entry:

For me this is the real Austrian Entry:

Eww.

 

[Brandt]

I expected a highlight moment where things go high and wild, but it remained calm till the end. It may be a grower later but for now it is not something special.

 

[GRE]

1 point for the participation + 1 point for the blue hair = 2 points.

 

[Alaska49]

did i really not post in this thread before? i wonder why? people were doing so much definitely interesting talking here..................

anyway eh @ this. it builds for two minutes and fails to climax. wait, is her blue hair evocative of the auditory blue balls this gives to the listener? ARTISTIC QUEEN. this needs really smart staging or it's going to be martina barta-ed to death. as for myself, i give it 5 points. it could have been something really special with a different ending.

 

[Leydan]

Well... it's not.. awful? It's not particularly good either, it literally just builds through out to nowhere and if that was deliberate decision I think it was a stupid one. Also I can't get past her meh fake artsy high pitched voice that to me adds nothing except to say "am all olternativ xo". That said I do feel like this could look and sound better live, so unless they crap all over the staging then this isn't lost cause for them, I just don't like it but I expected nothing so I'm not upset. Cya.

3 points.

 

[popavapeur]

no shade intended but I can barely remember the song 5min after listening to it. I thought I liked it at first but to forget it right away is the worst in my agenda.

Maybe I've listened to a lot of entries recently will all the releases, it just disappeared into the bunch (I can't remember Switzerland too btw)

I don´t agree. I think its one of the easiest songs to memorize. She just sings "You" for three miutes. It gets a bit annoying by the end.

I don´t dislike this song, it´s cute and everything, but it gets old fast.

 

[Edweis]

It's the same problem I had with Sebi : it leads to nowhere. However Sebi managed to create a peculiar atmosphere that draws us in, which Limits failed to do.
3-4 points because It's not terrible.

 

[CrimTV]

I don’t know why people are being so harsh, I really like this one. I mean it’s not a winner, but in semi 2 is not exactly a NQ

 

[Sammy]

At least she‘s not running through snow in the video

 

[randajad]

Some parts are soooo good, and you expect the song to explode, and then it does not happen, so it lacks climax, but it is fine overall.
