Austria AUSTRIA 2021 - Vincent Bueno - Amen

[escYOUnited]

Amen, I guess
You said that it's time for us to put
Our love to rest
Dressed in black, you left my neighborhood

No, I never thought you'd bury me and you
No, I never thought we'd die

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen

I bet it's just another funeral to you
But for me it's the end
A marching band are playing gone too soon

No, I never thought you'd bury me and you
No, I never thought we'd die

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?

'Cause it all feels like you didn't even try
Oh try, oh try, try to save us
All this time wasted on a lie

But amen, amen
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Tell me, is this what you wanted?
Amen, amen, yeah
Are you getting what you wanted?
Are you getting what you wanted?
Amen​

In my opinion the staging seems fine for the song. But all in all I really don't see us having a big impact at Eurovision this year. It might be enough for a borderline qualification but then we will probably end between 20th and 26th place in the final. Our biggest advantage in the semi final is the running order, loads of uptempo dance songs around us!

 

[Ezio]

Omg so amazing. We might even win.

Btw yesterday I had an exchange with an insider about investments in staging and he told me that the light-rods - or whatever they are called - were very expensive.

 

[hungo]

I love the lights and his voice is beautiful. jurys will love this.

 

[marty]

I think Vincent will end up similar to Nathan Trent.

Same, at least quite sure, he will qualify

Vincent writes today:

Today I started the day really well. I had a wonderful breakfast and now I will continue to produce music with Bryan Mac. Bryan is also a musician and came along to Rotterdam so that we could continue to work on music here - for example on the remix of “Amen”. A couple of interviews are still pending today.
Maybe we'll look for a good restaurant or two on the internet. I don't mean that we eat there ourselves, but that we order from there because we can't cook anything for ourselves here. I miss the food in Vienna - my wonderful wife's food. But I have to be satisfied with Asian delivery services here :-)

Many Thanks. I also didn't know it existed. Again what learned

How do you think Austria will vote? It is so hard to predict.

Given that we lean towards Switzerland and Italy, I think they can win jury and televote.

I don't think Serbia can snatch 12 televoting points. More likely 8 to 10.

I think the jury will vote for italy, bulgaria and malta. televote for italy, malta and germany.
philipp jansa will present the jury vote again. no good news in my eyes.

seems like a safe bet for high points this year. In the final also . ? Diaspora vote is still a thing, also for , but not for 10-12 points like in the 2000s. This would need a very good song. is a Safe NQ this year anyway, so we won’t be able to give them points in the final..

Yesterday, I was shocked to see that we gave 12 points in 2016.

Croatia never got 12 points from us, it was also between (2004 to 2007) and (2011, 2016)

Vincent writes

It was a bit strange to see all the other artists, but of course somehow clocked and always with a safety margin, which is good anyway with so many reporters in one place. But I felt very safe, but we still tried to always wear the masks, even when they said we should take off the masks for the photos!
So we followed the rules very, very strictly.

 

[Milos-BC]

I didn't like the 2020 entry but this one is much better. I especially like the chorus. I think it is quite underrated overall and I see it as a potential qualifier for sure.

7 points.

 

[aef]

Maybe we can do a in SF 2

 

[Sammy]

I saw a lot of critical reviews on Moldowa in recent days. As this somewhat lost its status of a sure qualifier, maybe Vincent can sneak in...

 

[mauve]

I hope so much that Vincent will qualify. I mean yesterday there weren't many surprises except maybe Belgium. I just wish that the Juries will rank this high enough and that maybe also the audience will give him points. *fingers crossed*
