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​

even with bad vocals this will qualify
I also think so! There are songs where a singer is NOT allowed to have bad vocals, but in songs as "Halo", it doesn't necessary mean you don't qualify. But it would be nice to see Pia improving until May and serving good or at least decent vocals. I keep my fingers crossed!

According to ORF's vocal coach Monika Ballwein, the dance-pop number "Halo" is "a vocal challenge, firstly because the hook line is very high and with the many different verse parts it doesn't allow for much breathing space anyway".

Then WHY give this song to an inexperienced singer

Pia Maria is done fine lately with support from backing vocals on tape but heyyyyyyy I don't get it

The wiwi jury spoke and the ratings are in. It doesn't come as a surprise that william himself gave it a poor rating. I felt from the get-go his rating would be the lowest without any commentary, because he can't monetize on the hype and is salty bout it. Every video upload gets shot down by Warner Austria, so he is clearly done.

I haven't followed wwb from the very beginning, or just very rarely. I dislike almost all of these guys, especially William.
I dont see the point in following someone I dont like. Maybe you should do the same.

It seems like LUM!X and Pia Maria are not going to perform at Starmania. Or does anybody have different information?

No. Assuming from Pia Maria's Instagram account she was or is still at Pele Loriano's studio in Switzerland practicing performances with in-ears.

So here is a guy singing Halo without backing vocals.
Imo Pia Maria shouldn't sing the la la part and let this to the backing vocals and the audience alone, and only do the "don't need no" part.

German ARD radio stations pushing the song like crazy. They play mostly the song without the rap part.

Look, Rockstars like a skyrocket

Most-streamed Eurovision 2022 songs on Spotify yesterday (Apr 22):
1. Brividi (356,217 streams) 🇮🇹
2. Hold Me Closer (188,665) 🇸🇪
3. De diepte (162,062) 🇳🇱
4. Rockstars (99,360) 🇩🇪
5. Halo (82,713) 🇦🇹
6. SloMo (81,456) 🇪🇸
7. Stefania (72,016) 🇺🇦

But Rockstars makes 76% of streams inside Germany, Halo makes only 14.7 % inside Austria. Calculated by weekly amount of streams.

They already take the ÖBB nightjet to Turin on 29 April!
