LUM!X and Pia Maria are filming their live on tape video today in Sofia. thats interesting because last year it was filmed in Vienna and this year actually the same studio (which is used for Starmania) would have been ready for it. seems like ORF takes a bigger effort this year.

wiwibloggs on Cyprus 2019 Replay: Omg, yassss queen YASSSSS
wiwibloggs on Austria 2022: this is not original, it's monotonous, there is too much vocal processing and autotune, she has to nail the vocals, she needs to deliver movement, they need to create a moment but they wont have the budget for it

Why is W. always so reserved when it comes to Austria? Did anything happen to him in Vienna in 2015?
Edit
Oh, he was mad because he got a copyright strike.
Edit
It's also easier to criticize Austria than Cyprus or Greece. Don't mess with Greeks.

I mean Deban liked it and hes generally a lot harder to impress than William, he probably didnt like it because it isnt very gay

I was about to write a similar thing, but then I edited myself. William is very flamboyant, he loves to fondle Sergey's biceps and more in an interview, and become Tamta in his dreams. So two regular teenagers just don't serve it to him.

Interview with the music video director Tessa Kadletz for BuzzFeed:
How did you come to the project, did you produce music videos before and what does music and audiovisual media mean to you in general?
The request came from the production company I work for: "Das Rund". They suggested me as a director because my style suited the project well and I specialize in directing, among other things, in dance and choreography. I wrote a concept and we won the pitch. I've made a few music videos and I love it. For me, the most beautiful thing is to harmonize music and various characters with special looks and movements.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna was also a location, what did that mean to you?
I definitely wanted to shoot in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, because the architecture of the domed hall was a perfect match for my idea with the big "halo". It is important that a 3D object fits well into a space, this makes it look a little more tangible and of higher quality. What I liked most was the cooperation between all departments. Getting such a project done in such a short time was tough for everyone involved. Production, styling, equipment, technology, the choreography: we were simply a great team and that was the only way it was possible.
The whole team was super young and yet so professional, how did that come about?
The team came about that way, it wasn't deliberately chosen to be particularly young. Personally, I choose people based on ability and style, not age. That plays little role in the industry and on the set. What is important is how well and motivated you work.
A theme that characterizes the video is the age of Empress Sisi in combination with a visionary look, how did that come about?
Before I wrote my concept, I got input from the label. The briefing was something like “Millennials meet Austrian Heritage”. I watched old Matrix films the days before and so I knew relatively quickly what I wanted to do

marty meant Luxembourg, not Liechtenstein.There seems to be wether spotify nor itunes in Liechtenstein. This explaines a lot.

I know. This inspired me to look up the Liechtenstein charts. Have you ever been to Liechtenstein? Me, yes. That is, almost. As a child, I was on vacation with relatives in Vorarlberg on an alpine pasture. We went hiking there. And during a hike, my cousin pointed to a wooded hill in front of us and said: “Liechtenstein begins over there”.

Wiwi's reaction to Halo shows just how out of touch they are with modern pop trends - comparing it to 90s Eurodance and Corona is like "WTF???" It's surely much closer to the likes of Dua Lipa's "Physical" and all the other pop/dance/retrowave tracks that we've had recently...
Also, this is stuck in my head every single morning in the shower - it's a proper feel-good wake up song
