Austria AUSTRIA 2025 - JJ - Wasted Love

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Lindon]

Wasted Love. He's still not over it:

 

[AliceEsc]

I think I 'll absolutely love it or hate it with passion, which is a very good thing in Eurovision.
Can't wait to hear it!

 

[gingerale]

I'm ready to hype another Austrian entry untill the first rehearsal pics emerge.

"Fun" fact: abor & tynna (who are part of the german preselection) were approached by austria last year aswell but declined back then.

they seem promising

Yea i think they have a great style! Looking forward to their song although i find it a bit disappointing that they chose germany over austria but oh well

 

[aef]

Not too keen on their songs but yes, disappointing that they chose over haha

 

[neinnein]

This is so funny! A friend of mine is friends with Tynna. We were even eating pieroggis last May on the day of the Grand Final. Maybe I was the reason she did not have time last year?

By the way Austria is steadily increasing in the odds. from 28 to 15 in one week.

I’m wondering if this song has been part of the internal selection this year because it’s exactly 3 min long. But I don’t think that he wouldn’t be among the final shortlist of the internal selection if he had competed? Hm…

I mean I don’t know at all about his live performance skills but I see some potential in his songs. Maybe the songs are not a 100 % ready for Eurovision yet but you could definitely build up on his previous efforts… maybe with additional help…

For those of you who don’t know, he has been part of the internal selection in 3024, with his song „Amy Ivy“, achieving „quite a good position“.

I personally would have preferred this to we will rave, I'm aware that's an unpopular opinion

Amy Ivy was his 2024 submission though

Opps i thought you meant for the 2024 contest

Amy Ivy was his submission for the 2024 contest and I speculated about the other song having been part of the internal selection for 2025.

Personally I also really like Another You and it would have been a decent entry in my opinion (with a little additional polishing…)

From what I've heard from him this sounds like it could be competing for my last place. His voice is very annoying but we wait t see the final product. It sounds like JJ is trying to replicate what Nemo did according to the description given.

Wow, you can look into the future!

 

[Datura]

the "problem" with him is that he's not an experienced performer yet - and that still shows. he has some great songs but he does not really know how to present them / him live.

it's not about trying to replicate anything at all (seriously, i don't think any delegation tries to intentionally "copy" anything of the previous winner - at least austria definitely did not), it's more accepting the risk of similarities because its a good song / the best in the selection. similarities in style (as mentioned before) were something that was rather held against it but outweighed by the good.

 

[mauve]

It is funny how people say that JJ will copy Nemo without even knowing the song itself. People never complain about the bops à la Slomo that copy themselves each year.
