Omygosh they finally picked a Filipino sensation probably to compensate Bella S.

Nothing on earth could possibly compensate for the loss of my favourite female Tagalog rapper Bella Santiago

I find it quite sad that Vincents nomination is diminished to his asian roots and used for a discussion about asiavision. I think there are other threads to discuss this topic. in first case he is a good singer and he represents Austria at Eurovision.

Like last year i've heard a demo Version of the Song and Personal i did Not like it, a little wannabe bruno mars-ish �� but apparently the Song has been heavily reworked since then

 

[marty]

Since ORF mentions that Vincent is a Songwriter I wonder if he wrote that song on his own or if he got help from other composers like symphonix. However, I am happy that Austria sends an uptempo song this year. There have not been many austrian uptempo songs at Eurovision. I am quite sure it will be of better quality than the one from year 2012.

hopefully...Do you have any informations about the rework? Kruder/Dorfmeister or Symphonix?

Very good choice. I expect a very energetic dance show from Austria in Rotterdam.

Yes, Vincent Bueno sounds much better than just Vincent in my opinion. Not that excited from what I've seen from him on YT, but he's got a good voice. I'll have to wait for the song, I guess

His name always has been Vincent Bueno. In some Shows (like "Musical!") they just used the first name.

Vincent said that he wrote lyrics and music himself and that a team of producers is going to finalize it. I dont think it could be Kruder and Dorfmeister.

What do I hear?? We have first openly homophobic and sexist singer for 2020?ok, I need to double check this and see wtf.



And it comes from the land of Conchita, none the less..

 

[randajad]

I am not amused with this choice, imo I find him uncharismatic and his music boring, so tbh I have no expectations at all, so I guess I have to wait for the song to change my first impression.

We have first openly homophobic and sexist singer at esc 2020 ladies and gentlemen. He comes from the land of a bearded lady, esc icon Conchita. What a scandalous, controversial choice orf has made. :?

 

[Lindon]

Let the character assassination begin!
He is a protege of Alfons Haider, come on!

Is he friends with Måns Zelmerlöw? Pray do tell us.

"I don't need another chick who only wants to ride my dick, not my heart" is just about the worst lyric I've endured in a long while (it made me experience secondhand embarrassment). Having said that, his voice is ok. Nothing to get excited about though until we hear the song. Hopefully it's good. I wouldn't mind a slinky R&B number, just minus the cringe lyrics please.

no sorry no information about that :/

This morning on Ö3, it was said, that it's a mix between a ballad and an up-tempo-track.

Can we adjust to an electronic number like on your last album?

Bueno: I really want to have a mix. I want to get away from that box thinking in categories. As an artist, you have to be as free as you feel. "Alive" has many facets - basically it begins softly and ends hard.

I wonder if eurovision outlets like wiwi, escunited etc.. will react on the fact that he has homophobic and sexist views. They have been informed. Also, I heard selected artists have been informed and advised to keep a distance from him. I wouldn't be surprised to see esc commentators and hurry members who are lgbt being informed abt it.

Hmm, it's ironic because he still didn't #OpenUp ::lol lol
Could this be the first time Austrian rep gets booed on the stage? Hmm...
