I hope Austria wins this year.

The entry is perfect and different from other pop opera entries.

Given the official video, staging would go well with a magician doing Houdini's water cell act

If Austria wins this year, the next one we will have to celebrate Eurovision Opera Contest, which I am not looking forward to tbh xsleep

Your comments are always so „meaningful“ and „respectful“.

I am not 100% sold on this entry, but I still hope that it will win this year, looking at the other countries that are (mis)placed on the top. I am pretty sure that if JJ has a fantastic staging to this song, he can win it all!

All these Nemo comparisions while i'm just out here vibing with this a lot more. Finally a genre-blending song that feels detailed and more thought-out with its transitions. Last 30 seconds are some of the best the year has to offer. Perhaps a :7: because i wish there was more time to spend with the climax and an extra chorus to wrap things up with a bang.

Oh boy, I´m afraid I´m just not the target group for this kind of song. :confused:

At the beginning the melody is quite interesting, his voice is a bit "different" but I can still listen to it. But then the chorus comes around the corner and I think my ears are going to fly off, it's really exhausting. And to be honest I still don't get the purpose of the weird beat at the end, it sounds like it was glued on from another song. :unsure:

I give :at: a :3:, I recognize the talent of JJ but musically this is just not my cup of tea. It will of course sail into the final and get tons of points from the jurys, but I don´t need this as a winner to be honest. 😐

This could be the 3rd Jury-victory for DACH in this decade
and the 6th in the last 15 years.

The few songs released over the last few days are shaking up my ranking in a really good way, I’m starting to feel satisfied when looking at my top10 now.

It took a few listens but this song sneakily climbed to the top of my ranking. Not surprised though, I tend to enjoy well-executed genre-blending (even more so with opera).

The rave part at the end is my favorite. Agree with you @SirPeterGriffin, I wish it was a bit longer.

Really challenging vocals, I cross my fingers for successful execution during the live performance. There’s definitely plenty of room for great staging ideas here

His normal singing voice is not so good but his operavoice is quit spectacular with a unique sound. Not at Pavarotti and Björling level but good.
