Austria AUSTRIA 2022 - LUM!X & Pia Maria - Halo

[escYOUnited]

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

We don't need a Hercules to bring a man down to his knees
No more apologies
Philosophers like Socrates define yourself, think on your feet
Go sharpen your teeth

We can be CEO
Yeah, you already know
Yeah, we can be the boss
Fly higher than the Gods
We're not under control
And no, no, not anymore
If you feel me, then put your hands up

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night

I think I had the right idea
Beautiful, something to feel
For a hundred years
We're gonna be written among the stars
Posing so we're hustling young queens

We can be CEO
Yeah, you already know
Yeah, we can be the boss
Fly higher than the Gods
We're not under control
And no, no, not anymore
If you feel me, then put your hands up

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Don't need no
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night
Let me be your halo
'Cause heaven can't wait for us to finish the fight

And I'm stronger than angels
I'm fearless in danger
And I will bring dark to the light
Let me be your halo
'Cause we've been through hell and back in only one night​

Austria will be Top 10 with the juries - even with flat lyrics, imo.
They even had Belarus 2019 in their Top 10 and "Halo" is a well-crafted and contemporary dance-pop song - we´ve quite some radio bosses/hosts and pop artists as individual jury members - I honestly believe that this will get some jury support.

I have never heard someone say that this is a jury top 10. but if you think so the better

I have no doubts abour your qualification. Odds are right with exception of 10th place. No way Switzerland is going through.

 

[Ezio]

Austria‘s odds at smarkets are offline together with Ukraine. At betfair 1,11 : 1.

jury semi must have went really well for us.

I think it got the "Last Dance" late 80s/early 90 disco-pop vibes. Greece ended up being a jury Top 5 in its semi and honestly, I think that "Halo" is really up their ally - especially in a semi which got a lot of artsy-fartsy, non-English entries - "Halo" is the most contemporary/radio-friendly/commercial song - "Lipstick" (2011) was also higher with the juries than with the televoters.
I really think that "Halo" falls into that "Lipstick", "Last Dance" territory

I thought so all the time. Why would be punished in this drowsy semifinal. At least now it‚s time things get real.

 

[marty]

For sure Austria will be in the final. It sounds at least ok. But visually this is really amazing. And I really love that they stage it like a dj act. so far all the dj acts were forced to be eurovision-like. this act is proud to be a dj act and that will work.

 

[goncalovieira]

My main question about the finalists it is about Lithuania and Albania.

 

[aef]

I especially Love LUMIX energy. Great to see both of them enjoying their performance so much. Looking good for us so far.

 

[Ezio]

I really could see Albania crashing out. I don’t think except for Switzerland there is no voting ally and I hated their 1 minute clip at RTVe.es,
it looked vulgar

And even with Switzerland. There is Portugal in the semifinal. Huge diaspora that has a close relation with meaning of our song.

 

[Lindon]

The longer note Pia sang after the clapping part was absolutely amazing. I got goosebumps. I hope it sounds as good on television tomorrow.

 

[aef]

For me and ar more or less definitely out. seems more than in danger.

You can definitely hear some "vocal assistance" in Pia Maria's backing. Overall it sounds smoother than rehearsals - crowd is going BANANAS. The BEST I've heard Pia perform, definitely tidier but still has some issues.

 

[marty]

certainly Austria will be the last country to be announced tomorrow....

 

[goncalovieira]

That is for sure. Austria, Latvia or Albania.

 

[TB98]

That is for sure. Austria, Latvia or Albania.

Albania is usually one of the first to be announced, when they qualify. I doubt girl will be the last to be announced.

 

[lacrymea]

Austria will make it and deservedly so. It's a great song and she sounds fine.

Just relax, people.

 

[lacrymea]

BTW, I remember telling someone here that the act didn't need any dancers, it'd ruin the general mood.

I was right Perfectly staged and sending all the right vibes.

I'll throw some votes your way tomorrow
