Austria AUSTRIA 2019 - PÆNDA - Limits

[QuirkyYodel]

This is amazing. Obvious qualifier.

 

[hungo]

such a beautiful song. it must qualify.

 

[Sammy]

It's consistently doing bad in all the polls. It's not even close to qualify in ANY of the online-polls. I think a lot of people kind of like it but they wouldn't vote for it. Hopefully we can things turn around with the staging.

 

[Clinty]

with good staging this could go really well with the juries to possibly overcome the inevitable televote flop this will be, but it'd need to be some absolutely killer staging because otherwise rip....

 

[sigi]

Common Linnets and Sunstroke Project have done poorly in all polls. Israel 2014 won many fanwanked polls and failed to qualify for the final.

 

[Soul]

I agree that staging is key and I'm sure Paenda can deliver.

This and other examples still give me hope.

it is a song with very personal and emotional lyrics that can only work with a very reduced staging. this song is written for the stage, either it clicks or it does not click. in the bubble songs from the very beginning get analysed, thats a very different approach from what the audience will do at the shows. if paenda can transfer the emotion to the audience it will work.

I‘m thinking of many close-ups from her face, mixed with good visuals.

Maybe they should emphasize selected text passages in the background like Michael Schulte did last year?

Please no lyrics, I find this very cheap. Worst use of lyrics was Italy last year, Schultes visuals looked nice, but its not a karaoke show.

After first listen I thought "Limits" needs visuals but I am not sure anymore. I think it should be pure. Pure Paenda, pure emotion. I would even love a one angle shot like the video. It needs to transport the song and match its atmosphere.

Austria should analyse why Lithuania qualified last year and Belgium didnt.

 

[Ezio]

All these spinning heads in this thread

I checked her songs yesterday and found Limits the weakest and most boring one. Girl, where did the electric elements go?

This is what NFs are for. If you don't bother to hold a NF, at least release the song early and listen to people's opinion, right?

This is doomed to fail in SF1 bloodbath so say goodbye to your qualification streak, Österreich.

one angle shot on her face. full risk.

not very likely it will fail in SF1

 

[hijirio]

not very likely it will fail in SF1

You never know, even in 2011 and in 2015 qualified but I can't see anyone picking up their phones to vote for this. I'll be really shocked if she makes it.

 

[Kairit]

It could definitely deliver an absolutely magical performance, but I also think it should be simple, resembling the video. But when it comes to the song, I think I liked this more at first listen actually, and now it's drifted a bit for me, I get people who would find it boring, it very much relies on the listener feeling the atmosphere of it (and some other songs this year seemingly do a better job at that, i.e. Sebi), since it doesn't really have a chorus you can latch onto. But it's still a very emotionally resonant and beautiful song. When that production kicks in at the chorus... I melt. I love little nuances like that in songs, those are often the things that catch me.

It's still in SF2 though

Lol in any case I still don't think it will make it

Because they brought the husband on stage .
