[ESC United Mod Team]

Urm... The song is like a whole lotta nothing. There is nothing to latch on. I can't even remember it after 2 listens. I guess I would have to enjoy the visual aspect of this entry. They better put him in some revealing outfit. LOL. Giving this a with all points attributed to Andrew's physical appearance.

It's fine, good quality production, but that's about it. Middle of the pack for me.

 

[Gera11]

From the snippet, I expected something ...well, more bombastic/full of energy, this is pretty tame. It would've fit right in with the rest of the Melodifestivalen 2023 line-up. I'm gonna give it a for now ^^

 

[hijirio]

I think the song is quite nice but will he really be able to belt out those vocals? I mean give this song to Sam Ryder and he will win the whole thing. Andrew Lambrou? Highly questionable, judging from his performance in the Australian NF.

I give it a , benefiting from my super low expectations.

 

[MooseShoes]

Am I the only person who finds themselves being reminded of 2021? The bombastic "I'm fine without you" message? The attractive male singer? The crap acting?

Anyway, my reaction involved laughter and boredom, which is probably not what they wanted.

 

[MopManMoss]

Its a shame the No Fear product placement is nowhere near as blatant as head and shoulders was in 2021 that used to make me laugh so hard

 

[I bims]

I actually quite like it but the lyrics are pretty cringe and his screeching gets a bit annoying after a while.
But I'm a basic bitch and he's hot so for now, will get lower though.

 

[Deleted member 12761]

I love the chorus. This song is really epic

 

[Biste]

I am annoyed by the way he sings. He tries to sound so edgy. Also not pronouncing words fully....
And you can already hear the "oohooohooh" part will be full on carried by the backing track ...


Also, I'm so surprised we didn't get a frontal shot of his upper body in that shower scene XD (and mildly disappointed about it )

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

Its decent, cheesy and a bit too screechy, too much falsetto, but it can qualify and get a decent place. He will need to absolutely slay these vocals for this not to sound fail, funny or annoying.

I checked out some of his Shorts on YouTube and he seems to sing well live and hit the high notes quite easily. It's a decent song actually. If the staging is right, he could do well.

 

[jatojo]

As I interpret the music video, he is going to let the backing vocals do the high notes in the chorus.

5 points for most of this middle of the road song . an additional 2 points for the bombastic finish that I kinda enjoy. probably a fader this year but let‘s give it a few more listenings

 

[Leydan]

Well i like this, quite a lot. I came in skeptical as hell when i was told it was the hot guy with a ballad and that song title. Everything about that screamed cringe as hell. That said the snippet that come out was great, and tbh so is this song. Easily the best in semi 2 so far. Really enjoyed it. Idk if its because I'm totally starved this year or not but heres a .

P.s last year was definitely better though. Robbed queen who had a meh live performance.

 

[tsegaye]

I mean the song is ok, it's an average MF-final song, but the mixing is horrible. The instrumentals are drowning his voice completely. At least that won't be a problem in May. 6 points for now.

 

[gingerale]

I quite enjoyed watching the music video this morning. Didn't find it bad.

But now I can't recall ANYTHING from the song. Therefor it's a

 

[gigi_copp3]

This is surprisingly good. Don't know if it will qualify.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

It sounds fine, doesn't really do much for me one way or the other though. points.

Will probably qualify from the second semi as long as it's not a mess live.

 

[aef]

Oh I like this a lot!! points from me. Once again it’s a song that doesn’t deserve all this negative feedback here. „Middle of the road“ does mean something totally different for me. This song might not be the most original song but I really like the whole package. It will qualify with ease in SF2, I mean who’s there with a better song?

And people calling this a ballad, ehm what’s your definition of a ballad?!

 

[Looren]

Very solid stuff, really like it
