Austria AUSTRIA 2024 - Kaleen - We Will Rave

[ESC United Mod Team]

I definitely see some potential in both of these acts -if ORF wants to try something different again and move in a more indie direction:

 

[Lindon]

I want Zoë back with a French bop.
Or maybe a mix of French, German and English.

Teya & Salena will release their new song "Bye Bye Bye" on 08 September. Seems like we will get another fun song.

I like Sharktank. With the right song, why not?

ORF ESC scout Eberhard Forcher and journalist Peter Schreiber search for the Austrian entry for Eurovision. They have already "landed some exciting acts". They are looking for acts who have an "ESC-compatible song". The deadline for submissions is September 30th

Forcher and Schreiber look for songs with "as many unique features as possible". They do not need songs without an exciting story and without a message, "nothing nice or casual". Acts can submit their entry at songcontest@orf.at. They will be contacted if their song is selected by the jury for the second round.

As far as I remember Eberhard Forcher hasnt done that before. The deadline always was 31 August and there was no open call for submissions. Could be a sign that what they received so far is not very exciting. But who knows.....

"ESC compatibile song" doest sound very promising. Usually that means a generic or radio friendly song.
We have heard so many times these kind of declarations
There isn't any place for spontaneous creativity without thinking of ESC?

Quote from that twitter/X-post above;
„Deswegen : bitte nur Songs mit möglichst viel Alleinstellungsmerkmal !“

„Therefore: please only songs with as much as possible uniqueness!“ (Alleinstellungsmerkmal: something that makes it stand out)

 

[Marcos C]

Alleinstellungsmerkmal: something that makes it stand out

In other words, a unique selling point.

you obviously didnt read to the end

No Surprise, but....

Ohne Conchita: Wie der ORF unser Lied für den Song Contest finden will

Der ORF nimmt bis Ende September Lieder-Vorschläge für den ESC 2024 in Malmö entgegen. Conchita plant jedenfalls keinen zweiten Anlauf.

www.kleinezeitung.at

Conchita is obviously out.

Other interesting info from that article:

There could perhaps be some kind of online voting once the participants have recorded a live performance.

By january the act should be chosen.

The point doesn't change. Being unique doesn't necessarily means being qualitative.
I would say Quality is the key word they would look for, not Unique and Esc friendly.

I hope they wont go for a public online voting unless they produce real good live performances on a proper stage. otherwise I would prefer the same procedure as last year.

Schade. My excitement for Austria dropped drastically. Now I just don't care for average and bellow average 18th or 19 place. Whatever.... We all thought Edgar Allan would do much better and schau where they finished. So I am not excited anymore about Austria.

Sorry Austrians!

We will survive your unexcitement….

This could have been Austrian year in Eurovision. But many others were excited to see Conchita as well. She would do so well and probably win it all again and do way better than whoever else gets to represent you. I mean everyone would talk about Austria and now it's all gone. I don't understand, I thought she was interested in going to malme and she even got her song ready?

Anyway we? They/them might survive he/his unexicetement and disappointment but will you survive another Non qualification or 18th place. Put your comments down bellow. But only with contra arguments please.
