Azerbaijan AZERBAIJAN 2019 - Chingiz - Truth

[crashworld]

The song was decent but what I think really did Aisel in was that she was being forced to sing a song in a genre she does not really identify with. It came across as too contrieved and polished. I'm sure Aisel is a great singer, but that was not her genre and it clearly was not her song, either, and it showed. From what I've seen, the same is being done with Chingiz. Anytime the broadcaster does that, they risk having the artist come across as disingenuous and insincere. I haven't seen Chingiz perform this song, but I'm curious as to whether he even likes it, and how he will sell it.

That's quite true. But then again, making the artists sing something out of the norm will also help to push the singers out of their comfort zone. Maybe it didn't work with Aisel (although I really love the song, I thought it's lovely), hopefully it is not a problem for Chingiz. He seems very charimastic (and his good looks definitely help). This contemporary style could work for him. I can't wait for him to attend any ESC pre-party. That would be a great platform for him to rehearse and try to get things right.

Is he doing any promo tours? I still haven't heard what this is going to sound like live.

In that firs picture he suddenly looks like he is Barış Akarsu's long lost twin brother R.I.P.

The acoustic version is probably not my cup of tea but kudos for incorporating some traditional/ethnic elements into the song.
I still prefer the original version and can't wait to hear him perform 'live' with the studio version.

I think maybe Chingiz will perform at the Moscow pre-party since Aisel performed there.
I hope he does more promo, he needs to get the song out there and get Azerbaijan back to the finals.
