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​

brings an uptempo, bouncy, banger this year. would bring a similar song had Ram pam pam won their NF and I have to say that I like that song from Finland much more than Halo. I am afraid how she will sound live as there's quite a lot autotune in the studio track.

I am not compelled by it, but then again it is not my style completely. 6/12 is my mark in the poll.

 

[ESC94]

Wow, didn´t expect such a bop from this year .

I really like it and makes me wanna dance instantly.

I give it a strong , it´s at some point a tiny bit too hectical for me but otherwise I think can be very proud and give us a hurge suprise in Turin.

Welcome to the channel with the most posted reaction videos

 

[Leydan]

My hype can continue.

This is literally what this year needed, it so desperately needed some pure energy. Some other countries having energy, but nothing like this at all. The ocean of midtempo and ballad needed levelling out and Austria has selected perfectly here. If she can deliver live (and that's my biggest worry here) then Austria shouldn't struggle at all to qualify, especially in this year. Absolute banger and I love it. Great choice Austria, and I love I can finally hype you again after years of total mediocrity.

 

[Ezio]

I loved Limits and still love it, I hated Alive, I loved Amen but fell out of love quickly.

so its hard to rank Austria this year without bias, but I would say it’s my number 2 behind Poland.

but If I were a Spaniard, I would probably have Chanel number 1, I can totally see myself feeling it, or as an Italian Brindivi, as a Brit my number 1 would be spaceman. kinda tricky but true

 

[midnightsun]

O-VER-RA-TED !!!

O-VER-RA-TED !!!

this will be a club banger throughout europe very soon.
the victory in the televote can only be taken by ukrain.

I feel the scores are skewed high for this entry because there are so few upbeat tracks this year. It's not a bad song but I'm surprised at how many 12s it has.

 

[marty]

in the meanwhile entered the top 100 in france and reached #1 in Austria

 

[spinachpie]

This is sooooooo catchy. Absolutely fell in love after the first few seconds!!

 

[midnightsun]

I hope it won‘t do that well. Come on, it‘s a nice song and yes, I wanted some upbeat too but that Ketty Perry goes nightcore is not really a 12 point contender!

 

[Lindon]

in the meanwhile entered the top 100 in france and reached #1 in Austria

Top 60 in Finland (2h ago Top 40)
Top 90 in Germany

 

[Datura]

i don't think it has a real chance of winning but top10 should definitely be possible. it's fun and a good time and we need that

 

[lasse braun]

come on - 36 readers (so far with huge 12 points!?)
the very,very,very average i have no idea song is it worth?
really?
in the glory 90s this poor song has been destroyed by labelbosses!
you still like it?
ok,it is a free country (no idea how long...) - for me this song is true bullshit!
i have always thought swedish melo has a lot of this bullshit last years but from now i am unsure.

Tastes must always be respected. If 36 people loved Austria's entry, why blame them? The comparison with "the golden years of Eurodance" is very severe. On the other hand, I believe that the choice of Austria is excellent and courageous. Few EDM songs have been brought to the Eurovision Song Contest. One writes to you who put Austria in eighteenth place in its ranking. Even if a song is off our charts, we can always appreciate it and recognize its value.

I was looking through the last 25 Top 35 videos. Austria was 17 times in the top 10. best place: 1/ worst place: 20
Seems like the bubble likes it. As we see in Austria and other countries the song is well reveived outside the bubble as well. Looks promising so far for Austria.

 

[Lindon]

Unfortunately, Warner Music makes an Eurovision rookie mistake by lashing out with copyright strikes. That curbs the buzz.
Yesterday I had to laugh because Lum!x uses an unverified channel to thank for the many positive comments on his song on the Eurovision Youtube channel. A number of prominent producers gathered there to congratulate Lum!x on the song.

Lol? This song is doing something to me. It was my 26th ish upon hearing it for the first time, rose to 15th upon second listen. Now, not having listened to it again since yesterday, I thought I might have been too generous to it and was about to downgrade it to twentieth or so, but now, listening to it again for a third time, I loved it. Probably somewhere in my Top 10 and I will upgrade from 6 to 10 points!
