Austria: 323,000 viewers watched the First Semi-Final of Eurovision 2023!

The First Semi-Final of the Eurovision Song Contest became one of the most-watched shows in Austria according to the figures of broadcaster ORF 1.

The First Semi-Final got the attention of 323,000 viewers at the peak of the show on ORF 1. Let’s remember that Austria did not compete in this Semi-Final and it is yet to be seen if Teya & Salena attract more viewers during the second semi-final. Notwithstanding the positive news, the figures represent a decline of 152,000 viewers compared to last year’s figures.

Eurovision 2023: Austria’s Second Rehearsal!

Next up on stage we will be seeing Teya & Salena on their second rehearsal as the representatives of Austria in this year’s competition with “Who the Hell is Edgar?”.

Who are Teya & Salena?

TEYA’s newest single, “EX ME” is available on all platforms and is released through Unified Records.

24-year-old Salena comes from a big musical family. She lived in Berlin and Cologne due to her extensive recordings and television appearances on The Voice of Germany.

In addition to collaborating with professional songwriters/producers from around the world, she participated in Austria’s show “Starmania” 2021. Her debut single is titled “Pretty Imperfection”.

The Rehearsal

Unfortunately this year, accredited journalists don’t get the chance to watch the first and second rehearsals, so we only get the information and content that the organizers officially release to the public.

Teya and Salena look and sound great on their second rehearsal. It’s got a message, it’s got a thumping bassline, it’s got huge vocals, it’s got an insanely polished dance routine that everybody needs to learn immediately, and it’s got the line “Oh mio padre, there’s a ghost in my body” sung like it’s the Vienna Boys’ ChoirThis is such a fun performance.
