Re: AUSTRIA 2019
@<b><a href="http://escunited.com/forum/member.php?u=16272" target="_blank">Lindon</a></b>: 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...
:?
I like the sound of Christina Stürmer's voice, she's singing straight forward without belcanto. Her "Bundesdeutsch" German is a little artificial if you hear her speak afterwards. That is the reason why Cesár Sampson doesn't want to sing in German, because you have to disguise the Austrian German to be successful in Germany.
I was a little disappointed years ago at the begining of her career when she revealed in the final of Starmania that she loves to sing this German German stuff. That was the ultimate reason why she lost Starmania, because in every show and every decision before the last performance she won easily as the later published results showed. But the defeat and her desire to sing in German German also is the ultimate reason for her enormously successful career. Nobody can remember the winner of Starmania today, who was this guy singing with her for those who don't know:
It is also interesting to hear the boss of Universal Music Austria saying "The public decides who will win but, thank god, Universal Music decides what is on a CD" Not only at the ESC is a divide between public and jury.
Trackshittaz? - I was kidding. But I read yesterday the thread of the year of Nadine Beiler's participation in the ESC and it is full of admiration for them, even from Matt and full of insults and disregard towards Nadine Beiler. I was on the side of Nadine back then and was very amused to read all that stuff.
