Wait.. so Crystal Ball was all the way?

Effing genius!

The song is a great pop track. A pity it lacks a "traditional chorus" but I love the verses (I think they are quite funny and clever) and their voices work together very well.

for now.

Hard to say. In recent days, suspicions have been voiced on Twitter that crystal ball could be a marketing tool of ORF. But I doubt that very much. I think it is someone in the OGAEs who was participating in the selection process. Not necessarily an Austrian.

I mean they also leaked other stuff so it’s not ORF

 

[lasse braun]

WTF

 

[HarryUK]

I’m redoing my ranking after Melfest and Portugal’s selection on Saturday and I’m fairly confident that this will be in my top 5. I’m actually obsessed

 

[Ezio]

Crystalball was a project from University of Vienna. Probably with permission from EBU, ORF and SVT

The odds are not so obsessed so far. Better than usual, like Conchita back in the day.

the baffling thing for me is: the first leaked clip was from the internal selection where thy showed live performances (very very basic ones) to the jury and participating fanclubs so it was not that hard to get that - because they basically could not really control if somebody records them.
but the recently leaked 2nd clip was from the finished song and i don't think that many people had that version, so it must be from an insider and i find that kinda suspicious but i HIGHLY doubt orf is so good at marketing that they did this on purpose

how do u know?

I dont know, I believe.

How would a university get access to such info without exclusive rights?

ORF didn't even want to publish the teaser on Monday. They are way too lame for such a marketing strategy.

Am I being overly negative this year? But songs just don't click with me. 2 points, tries too hard to be quirky, reminds me of "Je me casse"

 

[Leydan]

The irony isn't lost on me that a song that is apparently picking fault at the music industry also apparently come from a song writing camp.

This song is so addictive I hope they can deliver a great performance. This to me is one of the strongest songs of this year!

 

[Brandt]

I am gonna be vibing with this song quite a lot. Very uplifting!

I love it too, but am concerned about the staging tbh. Not so concerned about the voices though, I think that they will have no problems. Can't really envision how the staging is going to be. If it is a bad staging it can drag the song down.

well thats the thing that seems shady, i KNOW that orf did not know about the leak of the first clip and they were not amused back then when they found out, so i don't think they granted any exclusive rights to anybody

 

[aef]

But university?! Is this real? How could this be? And your doing stuff like that at university? I did something else in my studies hahaha - and I mean they also leaked/ announced stuff from other countries! I don’t get it haha
