Greece GREECE 2022 - Amanda Tenfjord - Die Together

[escYOUnited]

I'm in you're back seat
You are driving me crazy
You're in fully control
It's like you always know so
Are you having a good time?
Doesn't seem like you're all fine
We don't laugh anymore
And when we cry we do it on our own

It's been a lovely year for us
Yeah, that's what they say
It's been a hell of year
And we've been living in fear
Close to giving up

But if we die together now
We will always have each other
I won't lose you for another
And if we die together now
I will hold you till forever
If we die together, die together now

I love you, say that you love me too
That's the only way we can get out of this hell we made

It's been a lovely year for us
Yeah that's what they say
It's been a hell of year
And we've been living in fear
Close to giving up

But if we die together now
We will always have each other
I won't lose you for another
And if we die together now
I will hold you till forever
If we die together, die together

Take my heart and rip it out
Bring it to the other side
Take my heart and rip it out
Bring it to the other side

Take my heart and rip it out
Bring it to the other side
Take my heart and rip it out
Oh, Take my heart and rip it out

But if we die together now
We will always have each other
I won't lose you for another
And if we die together
I will hold you till forever
If we die together, die together now​

A site posted an article as an April joke about Amanda's staging being based on Caryatids ( as a message to London museum - to give them back )

Sneak preview from Amanda's rehearsals.

 

[Chalphon]

Love her voice, love how they have played around with the auto-tune

 

[Nicholas123]

Accoustic version. Amanda is accompanied by some friends of hers from Medical School.

Wow that is stunning.
Although I think that this lacks the big mainstream appeal some other entries have, nothing this year touches Greece in terms of quality. Not Sweden, not UK, not Spain, not UkraIne. Wont be surprised if shes the jury winner

 

[kamc]

Her voice is even better live than in studio…her tone is just stunning
I still think with the right staging, this could be really magical on stage and a contender for victory.

Indeed.This year is all about the jury winner or second because Ukraine will win the public vote.I think Ukraine will be 8th to 12th in the jury vote,so beatable if the jury winner or second can come second or third in the televote.Greece needs stunning staging if they are to get the televote high enough.Netherlands look to be in the same boat,aim for jury top 2 with an eye on televote.
A lot depends on Italy and the UK as well.Fascinating year.Interesting to see how the EBU structure the final for the big entries.

I'm not sure it's sung live or pre-recorded vocals on top of the performance. I know she will nail it live though.

 

[EvNickGR]

This is awesome! Amazing. If there is justice she will go top 5.

 

[Deleted member 12761]

This is amazing. I voted 12 points. My first 12 points this year. I love the song, I love her voice and her charisma. She is a potential winner imo.

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

Im always the one to call a pre-recorded performance out, this is live! If you know about live singing and mics you can tell ( shes got a great mic tho ). Shes just that good, like in every other live performance of hers on youtube.

 

[Looren]

I seriously think that with a good staging she's winning this year

Yeah I have seen her live performances on youtube and I have no doubts that she will kill it. And I may be completely wrong about this not being live. Just some of the lip movements seemed off. Like I say, could be wrong.

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

Just some of the lip movements seemed off. Like I say, could be wrong.

Can you give an example? At what second?

 

[Nicholas123]

Idk whether it's live or not. I'm not concerned about her vocals, tbh, but i am heavily concerned about our staging. Plz, dear Fokas, be creative for a change.

Maybe the fact that the producer didnt hype up the greek staging this year is a good thing?

 

[spinachpie]

Can you give an example? At what second?

Between 2:39 - 2:42 in particular for me. Also though, neither the YouTube video or Amanda herself, in her tweet, call it live. It's called acoustic.

I think Greece will do what they did last year and not show any live vocals before rehearsals.

I also don't think she needs wild staging. Just her with some interesting lighting.

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

I also don't think she needs wild staging. Just her with some interesting lighting.

I think shes gonna have a mini male choir for the first part. Fokas has never staged a song like this in his ESC career, Im curious to see how he will approach it.

 

[Nicholas123]

THIS! No props, no gimmicks, just Amanda, the right camera work, lighting and a bit of fog or wind machine? I'm really curious to see what they have come up with, this is not a Fokas' type of song.

 

[Tzeo]

The focus should be on her and the song. Props often distract.
Of course, It hasn't to be an empty stage, but the less the better.

 

[mauve]

When it was released, I really liked the song a lot, but it also faded quite much I have to admit. I hope though that she will have a good staging that will elevate the song.
