Song Contest 2022: Mit der Ukraine steht der ESC-Sieger fast schon fest
Die Ukraine ist hoher Favorit in den Wettbüros: Mit „Stefania“, einer flotten, tanzbaren Verbeugung vor den starken und liebenden Müttern, könnte sie zum dritten Mal den ESC gewinnen. Am Freitag hat Österreichs Beitrag "Halo" seine Radio-Premiere.www.kleinezeitung.at
The kleine Zeitung forgot, that we have professional Juries who will clearly prefer

you don't need to keep prefacing professional juries.

I am stunned by the fact that we still have no contender beside and and it really seems like there won’t be one. All in all still a very weak year (though I’d absolutely love as a winner, would be fine to, based on the song but I would see it more as top 10 material without the circumstances)

I would count Greece in and Italy out, I don't see how Europe would vote for a ballad in italian to win this year when Greece has a message that most viewers will understand.I am stunned by the fact that we still have no contender beside
On topic again: I love that Austria went for a dancepop song, it will clearly stand out this year. Left hand side of the scoreboard is a possibility!

The "Halo" demo version was more esc-friendly but the new version sounds more Lum!x.

So I heard the full version and I’m convinced - at least for the studio version - that the song will have its fans. At top 10 result is a big possibility, but it depends all on staging and live vocals, as we already said before. But I’m quite optimistic that they will work it out.
I heard it at first when I left work, sitting in the tram. There I was like „very nice but a but repetitive after 2 minutes“. Then I heard it again at home in my bathroom and I totally felt it! Haha it made me instantly dance. So I guess this could be the much needed EDM song of the season. LUMIX has got his international fans anyways..
I especially like the beginning and the part where the first chorus kicks in.
In my opinion LUMIX managed quite well to put his personal, well known flavour into the song yet make it Mainstream friendly.
I think I will give it points in the poll

OK, just heard the full version. It's alright. On first listen, it will definitely grab your attention. But it's extremely repetitive, I can see this losing its appeal after multiple times of listen. So it could work to its advantage for your casual ESC viewers who will listen it for the first time in May. And again, in an extremely noncompetitive year, this could have potential to well if they get the staging and vocals right.
But why do I have a feeling this may crash and burn like North Macedonia 2018.
When the poll is up, will give this either a or depending on my mood.

I just heard the whole version, and I'm really really really happy. I finally found a song this year that I sincerely love. Yes objectively it's a regular dance pop song, but it is so catchy and fun.
I hope they can pull it off live vocally cause it has potential for a spectacular performance and if everything goes well I think Austria can get into the top 10 this year.

I went from 8 to 10 to in only one play.
It's an instant catchy banger. Brings me so much joy .
This edit is obviously made for streaming. Wonder if there's gonna be a longer Eurovision version with some kind of intro.

when the poll goes up
I can already confirm this is my "Adrenalina" successor a.k.a. MY 2022 WINNER! 
When a minute and a half of the song leaked i stopped watching serbian semi final (two days later serbia punished me for that, but it was worth it
) and pretty much all i did until i went to bed is replay this minute and a half over and over again. This song knocked my socks off. For those of you who don't know: I do not own a wig
This is 3rd victory for (1976,1996, 2022) and first in the "modern era"
Exactly 10 years after Trackshittaz it's time for the new epic duo that i adore.

No, i haven't heard Armenia and Azerbaijan yet, but it all looks like it's gold for Austria, silver for Georgia bronze for Finland.

Add San Marino and Serbia, and I am in! San Marino is again confirmed to be in my top 10, but Serbia is a big no no.Holy moly. You've got TASTE!
Okay - I can live with that.

This is sooooo flaming out into a bottom 3 finish in the semi but I will have loads of fun all the same. Thank you for your sacrifice to help LPS into the finals Austria, your reward will be points once the Poll goes up.
