Austria AUSTRIA 2022 - LUM!X & Pia Maria - Halo

[escYOUnited]

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

We don't need a Hercules to bring a man down to his knees
No more apologies
Philosophers like Socrates define yourself, think on your feet
Go sharpen your teeth

We can be CEO
Yeah, you already know
Yeah, we can be the boss
Fly higher than the Gods
We're not under control
And no, no, not anymore
If you feel me, then put your hands up

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night

I think I had the right idea
Beautiful, something to feel
For a hundred years
We're gonna be written among the stars
Posing so we're hustling young queens

We can be CEO
Yeah, you already know
Yeah, we can be the boss
Fly higher than the Gods
We're not under control
And no, no, not anymore
If you feel me, then put your hands up

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Don't need no
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night​

Great song, I wasn’t expecting it to be that good. However, the reason why I think it’s doing badly in the odds (even though we shouldn’t pay too much attention to them) is because this is not really a song made to be perfomed live. I mean, Pia’s voice will be totally different from the studio version, and not in a good way I am afraid.

Having said all that, it’s a bop all the way, and definitely one of my favourites this year. 8 points.

Okay we are really serving some BOP for like the first time ever to Eurovision, I can't believe it

The trackshittaz erasure

 

[aef]

The trackshittaz erasure

This was the biggest embarrassment in Eurovision history

 

[apasionata]

This was the biggest serve in Eurovision history

Fixed

The trackshittaz erasure

If Hatari didn't exist this would be my most hated ESC song ever

Gave it 0/10

 

[Sammy]

This was the biggest embarrassment in Eurovision history

I agree! And we haven’t even mentioned wilfried

 

[aef]

I agree! And we haven’t even mentioned wilfried

public believing that this would have international success is so iconically Austrian hahaha

 

[EscGeek]

Bitch please... "Heute in Jerusalem" was dreadful... even worse than "Blackbird" for me.

Lucky for me, i wasn't born yet at that time.

"...of the modern era" I actively started watching Eurovision in 2011, when we returned, so I don't know each of our past entries.

Btw I'm really hoping that Halo will be performed live before the rehearsals to prove all the people questioning Pia Maria vocal skills wrong. It's also nice and okay if they reveal their full potential during rehearsal week though...

 

[Brandt]

This is such a generic pop that does not scream anything special to me, to be honest. I will feel sad if it does any better than Shine from 2013.

 

[hijirio]

What a great video!

points, best Austrian entry since Conchita

musically - totally agree!
but the lyrics were poetic, thoughtful - maybe a bit forced, but still quite good.

lucky you. I remember me sitting in front of the tv listening to wilfried live. the word „fremdschämen“ didn‘t exist then, but damn! would I have needed that!

I can quite enjoy this. I think. But I am definitely not sold... And these kind of songs have a tendency not to translate too well onto the Eurovision scene... I am surprised to see the number of 12s given in the poll.
