It's a really hard song to stage.
I think it is the strength of the song that it is not necessarry to get the message. Looking at the reaction videos most dont get the message and still love the song instantly. Others will get the message from the commentators or research it between semi 2 and the final. And to get the message it is absolutely not necessary to know who Edgar Allan Poe is. But of course they could use a picture of him especially in the first chorus. Similar to London ESC party.They do have to include an LED picture of AE Poe somewhere otherwise most people will not get it. How cool it would be if we already were in the age of holograms. I picture a Charlie Chaplin like b/w hologram of Poe, only much more serious, who walks across the stage.
Thank you, thats exactly what i meant.I can understand what Datura means. He doesnt mean it in an offensive way. When I heard their song I was thinking the same. It seems like this song just happened to them which is a great thing. Its a great opportunity for them but also a big challenge to start two solo careers with totally different music styles after WTHIE. But that is just a side topic.
If Måneskin did a dance track it would be way outside their genre. WtHIE is still inside the same genre of Teya and Salena's other stuff, it's just more uptempo (and funny). I feel like the difference between WtHIE and the previous Teya and Salena releases is more like the difference between Zitti e buoni and something like "The Loneliest", a slow track off the Rush album.Thank you, thats exactly what i meant.
If - for example - maneskin entered eurovision with a dance track people might be "suprised" when they go to their concert and listen to their other stuff... thats all.
If thats the music they want to do: great, but / and i think it's a one off so this is was my concern about their future careers. Nothing spiteful and no bad Intention
In my eyes this year there is a very narrow field of potential winners. I can only see Finland, Sweden or Austria win. Sweden still could receive a surprisingly bad televote and Austria could again screw up the staging, Finland is save in the top 3. But by no means I can imagine any other country to win.I don't want Austria to snatch victory from Finland, but if Finland is off the table for some reason, I am fine with us winning over Sweden, Italy or Ukraine. Anyone else is more than welcome to take the crown.
The two songs do sound very similar, but both of them are not the first to have that melodyOn a side note: Dua Lipa is getting sued for plagiarism. The irony for her stans!
In case of a good staging I am quite sure that Austria will receive 24 points from UK.
*laughs in eastern European diasporas*In case of a good staging I am quite sure that Austria will receive 24 points from UK.
No way, UK is already banging their heads to Čiuto TutoIn case of a good staging I am quite sure that Austria will receive 24 points from UK.
