Austria’s Eurovision 2023 representatives Teya and Salena are excited after their second rehearsal on the Liverpool stage.

According to their statements to Austria’s state broadcaster ORF, both the artists themselves and the country’s delegation to the competition are very satisfied and more confident than ever, as the technical problems they encountered in the First Rehearsal have now been resolved.

Speaking to ORF, Teya and Salena stated the following:

“The second rehearsal was much better than the first rehearsal. Everything went well and we are already looking forward to returning to the big Eurovision stage next week. The choreography was better than last time and the problems with the sound were solved. Everything went great!”

The head of the Austrian delegation is also positive after the second rehearsal:

“The second rehearsal went very well, especially because we were able to fix the technical problems. The BBC team did a great job and this made Teya & Salena feel much more comfortable on stage. A lot of changes we wanted after the first rehearsal in terms of the camera shots and LED content were implemented.”

Eurovision 2023: Austria’s Second Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

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 may not be known as a singer yet, but she has been working successfully as a songwriter for some time now. She has participated in several singing camps in Unified Songs, as well as Eurovision.

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.

She moved to Vienna in 2019. In addition, she participated in several preliminary rounds for the national Eurovision selection.

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’ Choir. This is such a fun performance.

Last night, under the charity “Austria For Life”, this year’s representatives of the country, Teya and Salena, performed their song “Who the hell is Edgar?” in front of the Schönbrunn Palace.

The theme of the charity show is related to the history of Austria and the country’s road to democracy. Therefore the performers’ outfits and the whole stage presence are inspired by the European Renaissance, which actually seems to fit unexpectedly well with the song.

Austria: Teya’s & Salena’s outfits for Eurovision!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Austrian National Broadcaster ORF has revealed through social networks the outfit of the duo that will wear on the Eurovision stage.

The clothes Teya & Salena will wear were created in collaboration between two designers. Johann Erhardt from Berlin’s “Haderlump” atelier and creative director and stylist Maximilian D’ Antonio took care of the outfits for the two women, who will represent Austria in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

Teya commented:

“The outfits reflect our personalities and still go together. Our classic colors will also be seen on the big stage. So it’s not a big surprise, except maybe for those who expected us to appear in secretarial outfits and moustaches.”

Also Salena noted:

“We feel incredibly comfortable and are very excited to see how we will stage the outfits. The team behind the design fully understood and implemented our vision – also in such a way that we didn’t lose our individuality. We love it.”

Austria: The solo entries of Teya & Salena were on the top 3 of the internal selection!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This year’s Austrian representatives Teya & Salena were invited on the last episode of the Euro Trip podcast.

The duet revealed that they had also submitted separate entries in the internal selection for the representation of Austrian in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.

Their solo entries managed in fact to reach the final top 3 of ORF’s internal selection alongside with Who The Hell Is Edgar? which they submitted together.

The duo were chosen to represent Austria in the contest last December by a Focus Group, made up of domestic and international audiences.

In the end, they revealed that Who The Hell Is Edgar? was written at songwriting camp last year just to make the other artists at the camp laugh at the end of the day. But after receiving a great positive reaction from the other songwriters, Teya & Salena’s manager recommended that they submit it to ORF, for Eurovision 2023.

Below you can watch the reaction video of the Eurovision Fun team to the Austrian entry for Eurovision 2023.

Teya and Salena are going to perform 13th in the Second Semi-Final on 11th of May at Liverpool.
