Cyprus CYPRUS 2023 - Andrew Lambrou - Break a Broken Heart

[ESC United Mod Team]

Really generic but also solid. 5 from me, cause it lacks soul. What confuses me the most is the amount of strong vocals this song requires. How is he gonna carry those? Should I guess there will be lots of praying to his Lord and Savior, Saint Backing Vocals?

One word: pleasant!

Not more not less. 8 points. Would’ve been ten without the unnecessary falsetto. Why do guys always have to show off…

Usually, I don´t dislike falsetto but the last chorus makes me cringe.
How on Earth did anyone think that it suits Sandro´s voice?

Who is Sandro?

Really generic but also solid

This is also a description of semi final 2. When most songs are meh, qualifiers will depend on live performances. I give Cyprus 5 points

 

[Mainshow]

Who is Sandro?

Andrew or Sandro - both songs were equally generic

I mixed them up (none of their voices were distinctive enough to make me remember their actuals names)

"Break A Broken Heart" is well-produced, though!

I................ don't hate it? Granted I don't really like it either. I do hate the oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohs. Please make it stop!!!!

 

[Iker]

I am not entirely compelled by it. Maybe too generic, like a rehash of some Imagine Dragons tracks.

Still everything is here in the right place seemingly. And contrary to some others here I think the chorus is pretty good.

So I will give it 7 points in the poll.

 

[ollibox]

I actually like it! Not ADORE it, but it's decent. This Imagine Dragons(ish) sound makes it quite listenable
I'll give for it now.

Hmm... I put the song on (first time listening) while I was looking at something on my iPad, and it never grabbed my attention. I noticed the high notes, and it's not that it was bad, but it was just sort of a pleasant background noise. It didn't capture my attention. I guess the only word I can think of when it comes to this entry, is generic.

Can it go on to the final? Sure - let's not forget Greece and Cyprus are in the same semi-final, so that's a guaranteed 12 points right there - but it's not a certain qualifier. But I think that's the case with all entries of semi-final 2 (so far) this year. It's a wide-open field, which makes that semi so much more exciting.

Is this what all the aspiring artists that show up at DORA with English language songs would sound like if they had stronger budget and overall better quality of production?

I'm sorry for the shade but I just.........this to me simply constains all the elements I don't like in a song.

Its so by the numbers....times hundred inside the brackets with extra square on those brackets plus one thousand.

I'm not sure how much I'll grade this but yeah...not thrilled.

 

[Luneaux]

It's okayish, a bit generic song. I forgot how it sounded after hearing it which is a a bit bad sign, his voice sounded good though... I'll give this points for now, space to grow.

Oversinging, I think his entry is going to start annoying me soon

 

[tararaaam]

At least he seems to be able to hit the notes, that’s something

Finally got the chance to listen to the Song and OH MY GOD it is everything I am a sucker for and more!! I would give 5 s if I could

Now of course he will sound like a dying cat live and probably make it to the final but tank there, and thats completely fine and probably fair, but that studio cut gives me LIFE!

 

[GermanBango]

Well at least he`s cute.

Have to downgrade from to .
