Re: AUSTRIA 2019

I reviewed some of his songs. Not my taste either. Even better song writing wouldn't help, I don't like his singing style and voice. Sorry.

Re: AUSTRIA 2019

Too depressing for me. I don't like songs about that are all about "me"

Re: AUSTRIA 2019

Does someone have the phone number of Eberhard Forcher? We have to tell him, that even Austrians don't want Joe :p

Not the phone number, but the e-mail address of his employer:
hitradio@oe3.at

Re: AUSTRIA 2019

Oh no please no, that Joe guy would mean a huge step back in the Austrian Eurovision path...

I really hate "mixed" artist names (English + German) BTW...

Is that "Austrovision" account official? That would mean that Tina Schlosser (Bobbie Singer, she represented Austria in 1999) is working on an potential 2019 entry as a composer??? And Sara de Blue obviously is a potential candidate as well...

Re: AUSTRIA 2019

I think he considers it to be an achievement to be considered. But I doubt ORF will choose him. You know what they say: Never bring yourself in too early. Furthermore, I think the real representative will be kept secret until the final decision.

Joe? Is it the only way to avoid the pet name "Pepi" ?

Re: AUSTRIA 2019

Statement of Mr. Forcher:

to make things clear : joe traxler is one of up to 12 conestants that will compete for the internal ORF pitch this year. as is sara de blue … and many more great talents. in september there will be 3-5 artists/ songs chosen, who will enter the final pitch. the official decision , who will represent austria in israel will be made in december. so folks … it doesn`t make much sense to speculate with certain names at this point. orf will do his best and will choose the best all-in-all option


It seems to be written in a hurry and sounds a little bit unnerved, if that is a word at all. Maybe he got the impression that we are bullying Joe Traxler.

It is also an unofficial confirmation that Austria is taking part in ESC 2019. I don't think there is an official ORF confirmation by now.

I'm sure it was not our intention to bash an artist. It's a coincidence that a few of us can't quite warm up with his music in relation to the ESC.

Brainstorm:
What is the song about?
Is it about refugees of the Syrian war?
Is it about fighting mental diseases?
Has she given any explanations of the lyrics?

Without a doubt her live voice is great. But so was also Saara Alto's voice, and what happened to her?
If I had to choose between her and Joe, I would definitely go with her. But don't you think her themes are too dark for the ESC?
I was fascinated this year by the balance of the dark verses and the uplifting chorus of Nobody But You.
Has she ever come around with a more positive message with relevance ?

Her performance is very static. She closes her eyes to often during difficult passages of the song.
Barbara Dex alert.

I hate to say it because it is sexist. But we have to face reality. Age wise she is on the brink for a woman contestant in the ESC. I am aware that she is only 28, but show business is merciless, especially for women. If she doesn't start next year then this will be a problem in the years ahead. Sorry for that comment. I reserve the right of deleting the last comment. ;)

Re: AUSTRIA 2019

I think Sara de Blue is ok but not very talented in songwriting. Maybe symphonix wrote a song for her, Cesar spoke of more than one Songs for the austrian selection. However, we will have to wait until december anyways….

Re: AUSTRIA 2019

Christina Stürmer is back:
What a pity that she refuses to take part in the ESC.

Once upon a time she nailed it even in English. Attention- historic footage:


What is in the water of Upper Austria that there are so many talents born? Tom Neuwirth, Christina Stürmer, Cesár Sampson, Trackshittaz ;)

Re: AUSTRIA 2019

What about Victoria Swarovski ?

She would have the means to finance a glamoures staging by herself.

Re: AUSTRIA 2019

[MENTION=16272]Lindon[/MENTION]: You must be kidding?! Christina Stürmer is one of the most bland and untalented singers I know! She didn't deserve any of her former success... Uninteresting voice, cheap and simple songs, horrible German German pronunciation... :? :?

Calling Trackshittaz talented isn't better either... :rolleyes: :?

i am not a fan of christina stürmer, but obviously a lot of people like her music otherwise she would not have been that successful over so many years not only in austria. i think esc would not be the right format for her and so does she. so i dont quite understand the sense of your rude words.
