Austria AUSTRIA 2021 - Vincent Bueno - Amen

[escYOUnited]

Amen, I guess
You said that it's time for us to put
Our love to rest
Dressed in black, you left my neighborhood

No, I never thought you'd bury me and you
No, I never thought we'd die

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen

I bet it's just another funeral to you
But for me it's the end
A marching band are playing gone too soon

No, I never thought you'd bury me and you
No, I never thought we'd die

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?

'Cause it all feels like you didn't even try
Oh try, oh try, try to save us
All this time wasted on a lie

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen, yeah
Are you getting what you wanted?
Are you getting what you wanted?
Amen​

Hostess Arabella Kiesbauer and her sidekick Philipp Hansa discuss the opening of the show "Starmania 21".

 

[Ezio]

At least they didn't make the mistake of burning the piano down.

That was boring. His voice doesn't sound as rich as on the studio track, but more constrained. The song also became more skippable for me recently, maybe due to the springing of spring. I am not in the mood for sad songs atm, actually.

 

[illustrado]

i still think this is not chance less in the televote. one thing Filipinos love is to support our countrymen so i could see this getting the surprise bump on the voting.

he already pushed the voting campaign with this interview. i suppose the spot on the Sunday show would give him a boost.

How many filipinos are there in the Balkans, the Baltics and eastern Europe though ?

Well, in Prague live many Vietnamese and Thais. Do they count?

 

[Lindon]

Germany, Austria, Switzerland
According to the German Embassy in Manila, around 19,000 Filipino workers were living in Germany at the end of 2009. The proportion of women was 82%. The largest Filipino community is in Hamburg with almost 2,000 Filipino citizens. There are also around 20,000 Filippinos living in Austria and almost 4,000 in Switzerland
Italy
There are more than 500,000 "registered" Filipinos living in Italy. The actual number is larger, however, as numerous illegal Filipino immigrants also live in the agglomerations of major Italian cities.
United Kingdom
Close to 200,000 Filipino guest workers and immigrants live in the UK, mostly as nurses, entertainers and other service-sector jobs. According to the Philippine Embassy in London, tens of thousands of Filipinos take British citizenship every year after having lived in the country for years.
With around 65,000 migrants, Greece was a popular destination for Filipino guest workers in the 1980s and 1990s, but the number has fallen sharply since then, largely for economic reasons.
Spain
With around 55,000 immigrants, the Filipinos form the second largest group of Asian immigrants behind the Chinese in Spain. Most live in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, Madrid and Seville.
Ireland
With currently 16,000 immigrants, the number of Filipino workers in Ireland is growing steadily.

And we also need to take into consideration how many of them are even remotely interested in Eurovision (or know what is Eurovision and to even know Vincent is actually a pinoy) and will be watching the semi-final.

 

[Ezio]

Filipinos are not enough to make in impact, in this semi even less. But Filipinos are also very Christian minded people, which means, there is a disregard for entertainment industry and no interest in Song Contest.

I do not concur with diaspora voting, so I don't do it in this case neither. And by the way, this is grasping for straws already.

 

[marty]

In my eyes this is a very strange discussion.....

i would count it out. some Filipino businesses are the likes of san miguel et al.

And we also need to take into consideration how many of them are even remotely interested in Eurovision (or know what is Eurovision and to even know Vincent is actually a pinoy) and will be watching the semi-final.

if they know, they will vote. this is how bella santiago won romania's got talent and almost won the Romanian national selection. if you're on the foreign country and someone remotely Filipino is on the tv, we support it 100%.

yes. you are right that we are a christian people but what we love it musical talent shows. the voice, idol, even local talent competition are grounds for talent. there a block to vote for it. the question is will filipinos in europe know they're someone to vote for.

 

[Ezio]

I don't think Vincent Bueno's fate depends on his diaspora voting him. But, I just want to say that we are blessed to have Filipinos migrated to Europe. They fit in really well, and contribute a lot, especially in health care.

In my social service year, I co-worked with a nurse from the Phillipines. I think her name was Cindy. She was really nice and she had a cute little dog that she used to bring to the elderly care home.

She worked much harder than the nurses from Eastern Europe and she took the bossy attitude of the nurse in chief with a lot of grace.

ESCBEAT TEAM review to Austrian entry

I have read that Vincent is a homophobe, yikes.

I'm not worried about his voice, it's Mr. Dietmann's vision that worries me.

 

[Ezio]

non qualifier. No reaction in press room, non event on stage. Matt calls it super dull. Iceland 2018.

1 singer 4 dancers
1 singer 4 dancers - yawning
1 Vincent Bueno no dancers - boring
1 singer 4 dancers
.....

 

[Ezio]

Actually, for Vincent being a sublime dancer, and Austria having never sent a dance choreography to the stage, I find it a bit of a waste of talent.

On the other hand, Vincent sang very well, and maybe juries can appreciate that. For example, Greece came to impress with green screen extravaganza but it apparently feels trite and unrelatable. I am just really worried about our televote, which often accounted to zero in the past.
