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​

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 are probably triggered by Halo being in front of them. Doesn't change the fact that it's mostly domestic streams for them.

Germans are not like Austrians. They dont care if Austria is in front of them.

Willi Resetarits, part of the group Schmetterlinge, who represented Austria in 1977, died today. He was the singer on the very left side. In my eyes this was one of the most remarkable entries from Austria.

traditionally underrated

She is Corinne Marchini (from Italy) and she will be the backing vocalist for Austria at Eurovision 2022. She took part in the talent show Amici (2006-2007) and in 2016 at The Voice of Italy. She is now a vocal coach too!

I was totally surprised by the toxic jealousy on German forums especially during the early success of Halo so I left them a few weeks ago.

Thank you! Great news, I was hoping for live backing vocals. This is the only way to counter the allegations that Pia Maria relies on playback.

It's also a thing in sports forums and it pisses me off

 

[Ezio]

I am happy we are getting strong backing vocals instead of the backing track, but I wonder how a big party on stage is gonna look like without dancers.

For real? I've only been in a German forum for entertainment electronics for years and don't know this atmosphere at all.

 

[elanyvx]

Now it will be necessary to understand how many choristers will be on stage or in any case behind the scenes. I don't think there is only Corinne, no articles in German on this thing?

Not that I'm aware of and I check regularly

Well, I guess this forum is not about competitive topics

Confetti
Three dancers multiplied Cyprus 21

 

[marty]

I dont think it need dancers. It would be too messy then. I mean they need to focus on the DJ and on the singer, Pia will definetly not dance, thus with the dancers there would be three independent parts on the stage, too much for the camera work in my eyes. Its EDM, i think they should stage it like EDM with a DJ, a singer, impressive light show and the dancing crowd in the arena.

Willi Resetarits apparently died in an accident at home. Just yesterday he entertained the refugee ball in Vienna.

I don't know about you but that sounds good to me

 

[crashworld]

While it's good they are exploring the option of having the backing vocalists to improve the vocal situation, but they better not do what Greece 2017 did where the backing vocalists basically did the heavy lifting. Because I would despise the Austrian delegation for that.
