Austria AUSTRIA 2024 - Kaleen - We Will Rave

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Lindon]

I have summed up the video for people in a hurry

 

[njdevils94]

Sorry but I am harsh on this one: It indeed feels like copy+paste overproduced and especially overcalculated stuff that gets suprisingly cut in the semi. If Halo didn't even make the cut...be prepared, Austrians.
Kaleen (did I already state that I hate when people with german-names try to sound english?) is a charisma-vacuum. Not optimistic about her singing live either.

Halo was completely crap live. There is a little more hope for We Will Rave if Kaleen isn't completely charisma-less

Kaleen is certainly not the best singer, but she is a perfectionist. She will use every minute to work on her performance. I am confident that we will see a great dance performance at the end. In my eyes it will need a bit more than that: a technically stunning show. I am not sure if ORF is willing to invest in props. My biggest concern is that it will not sound as good as in the studio version. Still I am confident that this years performance will be much better than in 2022 and 2023.

well i don't think that ORF will invest in props, but i guess Marvin Dietmann will. they paid for the video and lots of other stuff themselves so i'm sure they will do everything possible (and i guess they get some reduced prices with the connections they have )

i'm sure this will be staged a lot better than halo (and edgar), my concern is: it seems so polished it doesn't really excite me. i'm not sure if people will be emotionally invested or just think it's somehow impressive but don't connect with it. (there's no deeper message like eg in edgar, it's just a plain dance banger with 1 hot girl and most likely 5 hot men - and that bothers me a bit tbh)

The sure Q from Semi 2 are Norway, Belgium, The Netherlands, Estonia and Switzerland. shaky candidates are Latvia and Denmark. We don't know yet about Israel, Georgia, Armenia and Greece. I think Austria should sail thru if the staging is right. But in the Final I see her rather in the bottom, there are too many good uptempo songs with good stagings.

I’m also confident about the staging outcome. And about the result, I mean what’s the big difference to unicorn for example, did that song have any deep message? So we could achieve a similar result.

In general I think that we are quite alone with our product this year which is a good thing of course. There are a bunch of uptempo fun song but no uptempo polished girl dance bop so far. Seems like an advantage.

I’m not saying that a top 5 or top 10 result is locked in but in my opinion we are a safe Q. The staging won’t be a total mess, I believe. The song is good enough. And yes if it will click enough with juries and televoters it will have chances for top 5 imho.

Israel is a sure q should they participate. I'm not as certain about Estonia as you are, but I'd put them as likely. Don't rule out Albania, the diaspora here is impressive.

Do yo mean in the final? Top 5? I doubt that tbh. If the choreo is really impressive and she sings perfectly ...

If Halo didn't even make the cut...be prepared, Austrians.

Halo nearly made the televote top 10 with tragic vocals though?


Now whoever thinks this is a top 5 or even top 10 is pretty delulu because it screams top 15 at best (I'd love being wrong on this because it's my #1)

 

[Lindon]

Very funny. Only a few examples what people think it's a rip off

1. Maggie Reilly Moonlight shadow

2. Vampire Blade song

3. Rhythm is a dancer

4. Smack My Bitch Up

5. Misscatylove - Intro

6. ICE MC think about the way

7. Romeo ja Julia

8. Damdiggida

9. Prodigy Firestarter

10. Rhythm of the night

11. Girl gone wild

So, can we now officially claim that William is delulu?

I would also guess that Kaleen will do similarly to Teya and Salena. Only a bombastic staging that blows away everbody could get her into the top 5.

Just a reminder that his pre-show nº1 in 2018 was Alfred and Amaia.

Don't think her jury score will be as good. Teya and Salena had a message the juries could all easily get behind.

yea i'm afraid juries might tank this, definitely bottom 5 there. hope televoters will like it

 

[MopManMoss]

Gay man thinks dated cheesy dancey female pop bop is incredible this is unbelievable I can't believe it

Yes in the final. I’m not saying that’s safe but there are big possibilities. Wiwibloggs is calling us an actual contender for the win haha. And we’re around 10th-12th place in the odds, she will probably rise in the next days…

I mean how on earth can you compare them? Halo had tragic staging and vocals…

Wiwi blogs rated Ireland high in 2021 and 2022I wouldn't trust their predictions about what will do well.
