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​

I am so sorry but that Israel Calling vocal was one of the worst vocals I've ever heard at Eurovision (well, pre-Eurovision, you know what I mean)

Let's hope for sound issues, because otherwise this is a cert to be an NQ. I've never heard a song go from Top 10 to Bottom 10 in one performance before.

 

[Ezio]

I haven’t seen her yet at Tel Aviv but if her vocals are so bad why did they pick her?

I really hope they can fix it. Otherwise that could be a very embarrassing moment for austria in turin.

Obviously nobody has heard her singing live before I guess

 

[Ezio]

Wasn’t she supposed to audition?

 

[marty]

Wasn’t she supposed to audition?

No, LUM!X and her did not even meet before they recorded the song. Dont think that ORF would spend money on live auditions.

 

[Ezio]

The main act is LUMIX, if Pia cant sing they should replace her asap

 

[Lindon]

Yeah, it really is disappointing. She seemed out of breath too.

Havent listened to it yet but even if its true its not her fault. No one can sound great on tracks like this or like Czech Republic ( unless you are Loreen ). As many have pointed out many times before, these songs are meant for radio. They arent suitable for a live singing contest. If you want to do well at Eurovision, you should write a song that can be performed well on the stage. This kind of track almost never translates well on the esc stage ( Finland 2019 is a great example: super known artist in this kind of radio tracks, a flop on the stage ).

she just cant sing at all. I wonder how she managed to sing it in the studio.

 

[Lindon]

It is a mystery to me.

 

[Ezio]

Sara de Blue could pull this off

thats right and thats the positive view. you dont really need a good singer for edm songs

 

[jeriswani]

well yes it was really bad. However there is still time to fix it.

 

[Lindon]

I have recorded it, but I won't put it on my channel. Not ruining my viewing numbers.

 

[Lindon]

It sounded like a "Leider nein" at Starmania.

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

Isn't @Ezio a genius? He answered your question way before you posted it.

Now I know why there arent live performances of hers on youtube. Genius indeed!

 

[Looren]

Anyone has a link ?

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

well yes it was really bad. However there is still time to fix it.

rehearsals start in 2 weeks

 

[Ezio]

A wise man once said, no one expects great things from Austria.

We will just fall flat on our faces again because we think we have something great to deliver but in the end we don’t.
