Greece GREECE 2019 - Katerine Duska - Better Love

[popavapeur]

that's a very good and strong song, I really like it BUT I can't see it winning unless Greece brings a STELLAR staging. It's like... Dance Alone... Cool production, great song very radio friendly but not a winning one imho.

I really like it! I'm so glad that we stayed away from the "dream team" these past two years. Both in 2018 (one of our best entries) and in 2019 our sound is so much different. Better love has something "international". Katerine can sing live so now it's up to the staging. I'm really pleased with our entry. Good luck Greece!

 

[wtf]

I love when countries send songs that are current and fresh without trying to sound Eurovisionish. It reflects the current music trend so well.
I can see the juries ranking it really high.

Preach it, I really hope Greece will keep going away from the dream team! 2018 and 2019 are both miles ahead of the previous few entries Greece sent, even if the results don't/won't exactly show that.

About "Better love", I still need to listen to the song a few more times to completely form a opinion. It has great production and I love Katerine's vocals, she's very unique.
However I think the chorus gets a bit repetitive towards the end and the whole song ends up feeling a bit middle of the road. I can't quite predict a result. It could contend for top 10 and it could almost as easily fail to qualify - it will really come down to the staging with this type of song. They need to do something uplifting to match the crescendo at the end of the song, but nothing too cheesy. Hopefully Greece will up their staging game in Tel Aviv.

Love this she has a great voice and I already saw a concept in the video, since last year staging was non existing.

In my mind this is easily qualifying

 

[94ayd]

It's good on paper, but somehow can't connect with it - points.

 

[Cyberbliss]

The song is really good, specially towards the end. Her voice... gosh, overheard. I can't connect. Hard to make a prediction, this might be an outsider or a flop.

 

[Hegepege]

Utterly boring song. And I don't like her vioce and way of singing at all, it tickles my brain the wrong way. 1 point for participation

 

[Milos-BC]

It's a pretty good song and the chorus is really memorable. I love her voice as well While I liked the last year's entry much more, I think this one has better chances for a good result.

7 points for now.

I have read many times that juries will like it and i would like someone to explain me why?

If Sweden, Norway, Australia, Austria had this song, it would be top 5 with the juries, and you know that very well, so I expect some good points from the juries.

Yeah i agree! If Sweden, Australia or Austria had this song they would do well but we are not Sweden, Australia or Austria!

 

[Realest]

Good Joke

 

[Peresvet]

The song is good and interesting, but there is still something missing.

material for top 10, but everything depends on what the performance will be.

good luck for +O + B+

Well Georgia was fourth in the juries in 2010, Slovenia got 5th place in 2011, Albania and Estonia were 3rd and 7th in 2012, Moldova 5th in 2013, Hungary 4th in 2014, Latvia 2nd in 2015 and let's not mention Malta in 2016 (4th), Bulgaria along with Portugal in 2017 and Cyprus (5th) in 2018. So no the juries may overrate some countries sometimes (e.g. Sweden) but their main goal is to recognise something that is musically good no matter the country. And I think they definitely fullfil this role.

And yes I believe too that if we have nice staging we could do well with the juries

 

[HayashiM]

Sweden and Australia! Not that it would be possible to overrate Australia this year of course, I think that they finally get a huge public support as well.

 

[Fierro]

This is well made but doesn't do anything special to me. Sounds like 90% of modern music.

Yes I forgot Australia. I think there might be some gap again between the juries and the televote this year if they don't revamp the song.

Well, you do live in a modern world... right?
