Eurovision 2022: Austria’s Second Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Coming up is Austria with LUM!X and Pia Maria singing their song ‘Halo’. Their first rehearsal included a huge circular neon lighting rig that surrounds the two austrian artists and huge dance energy from inside their own personal halo. The staging also features flames and smoke jets. The lead singer had some singing difficulties during the pre-parties. Will they convince with their second rehearsal?

The Second Rehearsal

Austria’s rehearsal is done with the help of a huge ring that consists of smaller rings, which have perimeters with lights. These lights turn on and off based on the viewing result the austrian delegation wants. Both artists are inside this ring and stay in it. The performance starts with LUM!X cheering up the crowd. There are enough shots in the crowd as well. LUM!X stays in the center of the ring doing dj moves and he his role in the performance is to cheer the audience. There are many close camera angles to Pia Maria, who dances and enjoys the song. In the bridge they clap, as in the official video clip. The performance ends with both artists looking at the camera. There is wide use of prerecorded vocals. Pia Maria has great make up with much glitter in the eyes. Her hair is pigtails. Both artists are wearing black and the backround is mostly red and black, but during the bridge turns into blue. Pia Maria is giving a high note in the bridge, but in general is vocally weak. The audience is going to love this act.

Smoke during the first second chorus is added on the third run.

Pyro is also added in the bridge and the last chorus of the third run.

Below you can watch an exclusive preview clip of Austria’s second rehearsal:

Austria: The representative to be announced tomorrow!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Austria’s national broadcaster, ORF, confirmed just a bit ago via its website that the announcement of the artist who will represent the country in Turin will be made tomorrow during the Ö3-Wecker radio show on Hitradio Ö3, which will be broadcast from 5am to 9am (CET).

Ö3-Wecker has been presenting the country’s representative or entry in the Eurovision Song Contest every year since 2017. Because of this, many suspect that the announcement of the representative will be made around 7:40 (CET) as this has been the scheduled flow of the show in previous years, although this is not officially confirmed.

As we have already informed you, there are now only 2 contenders in the chase for the Austrian ticket to Turin.

DJ Lumix, who became famous with his smash hit “Monster” and is gradually becoming one of the most successful artists in terms of online downloads and has more than a billion streams. And the duo Anger, consisting of Julian Angerer and Nora Pider, who are based in the Austrian capital, Vienna.

2021 was the second consecutive year that Austria failed to qualify for the Grand Final. Will one of the two candidates manage to make Austria a contendable force again?

Firstly the Austrian broadcaster, ORF, was planning to reveal the country’s representer in December, however they decided to make the announcement at the end of January.

There are, yet, four possible candidate acts that seem really possible to get Austria‘s ticket to Turin.

These are the four acts:

  1. DELADAP

DELADAP seem to be pretty known among eurofans. They tried to represent Austria again back in 2012 with the song “Crazy Swing” but due to it being performed earlier the song got banned so they ended up participating with “Don’t Turn Around“.

2. Candlelight Ficus

Candlelight Ficus are a quartet of boys from Styria. They have already released a few singles and EPs, some of which are “What’s Coming“, “Two Blond B******” and “Open The Door“.

3. LUM!X

LUM!X is an Austrian DJ who has collaborated with pretty big names. His biggest hit, “Monster” – a collaboration with the Italian DJ Gabry Ponte -, counts over 70 million views on Youtube and over 206 million streams on Spotify.

4. ANGER

ANGER are a duet from South Tyrol, based in Vienna, which has lately received many awards for their music. They have also recently released some songs in German. Their music is described as a combination of auto-tune, electric guitar and technoid beats.

What do you think about these 4 candidates? Who is your favourite? Do you think Austria might actually pick someone else?
