Austria AUSTRIA 2019 - PÆNDA - Limits

[Soul]

Hmmm...There were some errors and given how the song is 90% vocals, they were very noticable... I really hope she'll work on them...

 

[Lindon]

Thoughts.
Her focus is divided, because of the piano? There will be no piano at the ESC.
One background vocalist?
She emphasizes the bridge more than in the studio cut.

this was not a rehearsal. no need for speculations.

Guys it's just a stripped back piano version streamed on Instagram. And for that reason, it's really beautiful.

 

[Romeo]

Okay... Let me confess something. This time last week I would just skip this song... But a few days ago I was outside and it was really sunny and this song came on my phone and I loved it. The meaning of the song just made sense and now I love it

[MENTION=12986]Romeo[/MENTION], can you help me to pronounce Buttigieg correctly? It's a Maltese name, I guess?

I would pronounce it Boot-a-jedch depending if there is a Ġ or a G

edit: It also depends on whether you pronounce J as 'y' or 'd-j-e'

Maybe this is better: Boot-a-djedch

Sorry for off topic, but it is so funny:

9th position is the latest possible in the 1st half, but after Sweden...

 

[Soul]

Nice

 

[marty]

the song is perfect for the middle position. and after sweden is a good spot. it works best after an uptempo song

 

[gingerale]

Nice

I think so too. It's a good draw. I do not think it's a disadvantage performing after Sweden because I'd rather would be around favorites than suspected flops.
And after the more happy and cheerful songs from Sweden and Denmark «Limits» brings a very different mood.

 

[Lindon]

Absolutely perfect!
We can't blame the running order if....

Not sure if Sweden hates us. They invited Austria to vote in Melodifestivalen this year.

This was our first invite since 2015 to vote. Maybe it's a sign for peace with Björkman.

You were so right!

The draw is really good, not to say: just great. It's the perfect antagonist to the lift from Sweden. And I expect a stellar staging, that must have been presented by the HoD. Austria into the break must be like "Oh wow, what was that". The impression of the performance can work up the viewers from inside and trigger some more votes. I hope it's mesmerizing and leaves the viewers glassy-eyed and ready to vote.

Cyprus 2015 also prevailed on the coat tails of the favourite.

According to Paenda there is no concept for the staging yet. Maybe she doesn't know about it.

I know she said that. But I already had the impression at the presentation on the 8th of March that the concept was already finished. Last year, the concept was established so early that Wieder was able to include the lift in the planning of the original stage.

Lord, I'm gonna get so high tonight

 

[Sammy]

Not sure if that is a good draw. After Sweden, people might find the song even more unspectacular....

 

[Realest]

Hyäne Fischer would outshine John.
