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​

Ezio is back in the boat

I think Ezio had a similar reaction to the rehearsal as I did to Tel Aviv. That night I was in shock, but I recovered.
We must now play the blood, sweat and tears game. We need a lot of lights, flames, smoke, background singers and background noise. I think Luca makes a pretty good job too in this regard. Never mind what the bubble is talking or thinking. This is an uphill battle. Ohren zu und durch. Serhat reached the final, we can do this too.

 

[Ezio]

The background singers actually are more troubling for us. They don't blend well with Pia Maria at all.

However, Luca's entry is not as cringe as I thought it would be.

The Top 10 are locked in the semis. Latvia is running away in the odds. Last year, we were 10th and were caught by Moldova, now we are already out and drifting away.

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I honestly don't find the vocals that worrying, Pia Maria & Lumix are one of the few uptempo songs which will benefit them

The televoters wont think as much as you do. they just will like it or not. I dont see Austria in trouble. The reaction of the press is fine, it is rising in the odds. And as we saw from the twitter snippet, the official snippet did not reveal the best part of the performance. It is a banger a lot of people are waiting for. they will appreciate it and vote for it.

Honestly the odds are so shitty this year, I don’t see some songs as certain qualifiers as they seem, based on the odds. For SF1 I don’t see as a qualifier at all, 50:50, 50:50, might also struggle if the staging stays a mess…

[aef]

Oh no not Hansa again as spokesperson… I can’t stand him at all.

 

[Ezio]

Fun fact: in every year Phiipp Hansa was our spokesboy, we didn't qualify.

At least we can expect politically correct greetings and #standwithukraine hashtag on his T.
