Many months later I still think this song should have had so many more votes at ECS. It's catchy, it's funny and it sends a message. One of the few songs I will keep listening to for years to come.
So, I'll break this down "There's a ghost in my body and he is a lyricist" "Oh Mia Padre, There's a ghost in my body" They are taking a shot at the industry. Alot of artist's today will use Ghostwriters who will produce or write music and get a little amount in revenue whilst the artist gets a decent cut for performing it. They also use their song as a way to demonstrate this. In today's industry, you could make the most meaningful song but cover it with Electro or dance and bam... It's a worldwide hit and people miss the actual meaning. So, they did the same by making this fun, quirky pop track that you miss the actual meaning behind the song. "What's your IPI? Where's the A&R? Girl, call Universal, you're about to be a star" IPI is a digital barcode that a A&R team recieve when content is made. It determines how much royalty the Producer, Writer, Artist and Label will receive. In most cases, again, the producer and label receive the most whilst the songwriter and artist receive hardly anything. They take a shot at Universal Music group as they are known to take MASSIVE chunks from artists and also not give their artist's any creative control over their music or sound. It's sarcasm. You'll become a star and be rich, but it'll come at a price, basically! "Zero dot zero zero three Give me two years, and your dinner will be free" Most streaming sites will pay a artist 0.003 in revenue every stream. This lyric actually hits so hard. All they could afford is cheap champagne and after two years, they'd finally make a small profit. Unless you're a massive artist pulling in millions of plays each month, you will hardly see a profit from your song and will have to wait a few years before you can just about afford a meal. It's a strong message to display just how much the industry and streaming sites do not value the work or content of hard working artists. This is why she then says "At least it pays to be funny". Comedians make more money than hard working songwriters and artists!! Let that sink in. In the second half of the video, they dress up as men delivering the song to a board of record executives. This is because men's work is often listened to more and released whilst women's hard work goes unnoticed or unfavoured. You then see them get arrested for impersonation and taken to prison. This is because they are trying to display the message, it would be so much easier to be a man in the industry than be a woman. VERY CLEVER what they did there. This song is ART. It's not even a song at this point. It deserves recognition for how amazing it is. It's such a fun, quirky song with such a deep and powerful message. I hope Europe research it because I NEED Them to understand. It's not a joke entry and this deserves a final place 😭 I hope this helps to anyone reading and you can now fully appreciate this masterpiece even more!!! Lots of love x *this is how I interpret it - doesn't mean it's accurate ^.^*
I think, that this song is pure ART, even if money people don't recognise it. I hope, that the will make a performance very similar to this video, because last year the live performance unfortunately was very bad, even though Austria last year was very underrated
Thanks for your comment , I didn't know 0.003 is the rate 4 artists but women still dressed as man to get attention " in a man's world " ( the bosses where male, the secretary female - sadly still a role model) Caching melody- good vocals nearly hiding the real meaning of this song!
Wow, thanks a lot for this!! I really really love this explanation of the lyrics - I too was guilty of dancing along to this without realizing the nuance in the lyrics. Fantastic song, I really hope this scores well!
I'm obsessed with the dialogue in the introduction, the chorus, the opera singing part. It has this viral quality and infectious catchiness that nobody can deny. They completely understood the codes of Eurovision
I legitimately named a cat “Edgar” because of this song. I came home one day and he was on my back porch, begging for food. I looked at him and said “who the hell are you?” and immediately knew what his name is.
It's definitely one of the standouts in this Eurovision. Hope they pull this in live cause it's so iconic and could bring a good result for Austria! Good luck from Greece!
@edd396 I'm concerned for the staging concept, cause these girls can obviously sing. (Teya was in Beovizija, after all). But yeah, Austria could win its semi.
Austria's entry is in Serbia's 2022 philosophy. A strong message hidden behind a strange pop song with an addictive rhythm & chorus. In someway it works perfectly!
OMG, Austria, what is this?? Im speechless, the message, the rhytm, the vocals, the charisma, everything about this masterpiece is just amazing. You deserve to be at least top 3. Love from Spain.
Das sind unser Mädeln aus Starmania und sie haben den Song selbst komponiert und getextet! These are our girls from Starmania and they composed and wrote the song themselves!
@@xXxXxXmaryyyXxXxXx ist my opinion, i really can't wait for people like you to understand that people just have different points of view. Ist not that difficult 🤟🏼🤟🏼
No joke, girls' acting is very cool and believable, which is not a common thing in eurovision clips. The director and all production team also deserve "12 points".
I'm a nerd and tried to find references to Poe's works: - The Raven (poster) - The Pit and the Pendulum (poster as well) - Masque of the Red Dead (red mask on her desk) - This could be a stretch, but the stomping on the floor as the guy reads the paper could reference the Tell-Tale Heart?

@@fufi2238 Yes, Serbian parents, but she was born in Austria, where she lives. She spent part of her life in Serbia and 2020 she participated at Beovizija - selection for the Serbian song for esc.

WTF this is such a BOP!!!! I thought it would be a joke entry, but it is the opposite, a well produced song with a critic to the music statement.. Love from Spain.. this will be fighting to win the televoting!
I’m from Austria and I’m not really sure what I think about this Song, but after reading the comments I’m a bit more optimistic we can join the contest
Definitely one of the most original songs of the year! And it's thought-provoking too: lines "Edgar cannot pay rent for me" and "At least it pays to be funny" are really ones of the coolest things I've heard among current ESC selection. We live in a strange world of strange entertainment now, where it's hard to tell the difference between art and... idk, funny funnies. Good luck from Ukraine!
This is a wonderful bop, and its backstory just makes it such a topical entry. As a matter of fact, I know many artists who don’t receive any recognition for their work and are still hoping to get a bite of the cherry as it is. Thanks for shedding some light on this sad reality, Teya and Salena. Good luck in Liverpool, Austria! ❤🇵🇪🇦🇹😊
We need joy in this cruel world, Europe needs to party after 3 awful years of Pandemic. This song is so feel good very good vibes. 12 points from France to Austria
I love this so much, it’s absolutely criminal this didn’t get at least top 10. It’s my winner without doubt. Brilliant tune, fun dance, talented women. Teya & Salena should be proud of themselves. Much love from the UK
Poland: Can we have a song critiquing music industry with an operatic element in ESC? Poland: Nahhh Austria: HELL YEAHHH 12 points from 🇵🇱! seriously congratulations, you have an amazing entry this year, and we envy you so much🥺❣️
1:39 If you want a fun fact, you can see « Liverpool » on their plates, wich is this year’s host city. But also, the number is 1305 or 13/05 or May the 13th (in European date) wich is the day of the grand final. I’m hoping you will make it, Salena and Teya ❤️💫
Teya und Salena, ihr seid eine wirkliche Bereicherung dieses Jahr für den Contest. Hut ab. Definitiv ein Top 5 Platz und die Perfomance wird zeigen, ob nicht doch ein Sieger dahinter steckt. Ich drücke euch jedenfalls die Daumen.
this is so catchy and it's been stuck in my head. i don't understand why it didn't get a lot of points as the performance was amazing! much love from the UK :)
Because Eurovision songs, especially recently are either won by Power ballad/Anthems or a memorable dance track that doesn't have a complex theme. I mean the audience were probably trying to work out what the 0.003 meant. Also being first in the running order probably didn't help. Last couple of years it's been a man at a piano or singing a slow ballad. Portugal and Netherlands for example.
Seit Jahren jammere ich über die miesen Beiträge unseres Landes. ENDLICH ein Song, mit dem ich mich identifizieren kann! Diese Nummer, bei der man einfach nicht stillsitzen kann, zählt heuer für mich zu den Top 3! Und ich bin stolz darauf, Mädels, dass Ihr Österreich vertretet! Rockt die Bühne mit dieser Guten-Laune-Nummer! Alles Gute!
This song is my new favorite, it's pure genius, it's a masterpiece! It's catchy, danceable and memorable. Both the song and Teya and Salena are very unique and have a lot of character and personality. Also the message behind the song is really important but sadly a lot of people don't recognize the deep meaning behind the lyrics. And the most important thing: They can sing this live, they have great voices!
This was the best song of 2023: campy, funny, catchy, and actually made a point. It's a lesson in why staging is important, because they didn't bring the video to life or include the same comedy, so it didn't do as well as it should've. But this will forever be one of my favorite Eurovision songs!
This is the first time I have ever heard of Edgar…And I’m not regretting,this song is an amazing way to know about him,great job Austria!!!!! POE POE POE POE POE EDGAR ALLEN POE!!!!!🇦🇹 And now I don’t know which I like more from Austria,Sacher-Torte or this song
"There’s a ghost in my body and he is a lyricist ... Don’t know how he possessed me, but I’m happy that he did ... Maybe I should call a doctor or an exorcist" 12 point for a song which is from top to bottom literally about demon possession. No smokes no mirrors, just possession. Pretty funny ... and I´m not surprised.
Yes it's chaotic, a different type of chaotic, not like Croatia. People are just so limited, and think th to be chaotic u just have to be 1 thing, no there's million of different types of chaotic and this is one of them, FOR SURE! Open your horizons.
@@ApolloRR Come on Croatia is way more chaotic but in fact, i like both of them cause it's something new and i hope that Austria gets a good result in the final.
First listen: What the hell did i just listen to? Second Listen: This is actually pretty good. And catchy Third Listen: POE POE POE POE EDGAR ALLAN POE. 12 Points from Denmark!. What a BOP. Austria saves Eurovision
Rooting for Austria, big support from Zagreb. Croatia! One of my favourite places, so rich history, beautiful old towns, my favourite classical composers (being a piano teacher!)... Not to mention that once upon a time we were in the same country! Back to the point... This song has been stuck in my head for the past few days since I heard it. Great rhythm, interesting video and just a dose of grotesque and apsurdity... Just what I like to hear!
I don't want to say you are wrong but you are. Did you heard song from Czech Republic (Czechia) or Serbia? Did you listen to Moldovia or even Australia? In my opinion this year it was hard to give one big star of the show.
@@asnozm3105 this is exactly the situation, so many songs could've easily taken the winner's spot this year. i def like this song most tho, clever lyrics, catchy and insanely well produced.
@@hexamine666 I would read a little bit on the ideas behind the song, its production etc if you haven't already. You are entitled to your opinion as much as I am entitled to mine.
I mean this song is in the weaker semi final I say it might actually do very well since it’s a 100% tele. But the the final had the chance to be a very strong final example of strong players Sweden, Norway, Finland, and France. I say they might end maybe 15-10
This is my absolute #1 song of Eurovision 2023, though I think that Sweden, France, or Finland have greater odds at winning. Regardless, my vote is going to Austria lol.
as someone who’s been watching eurovision since i learned to walk, this song is great and has an amazing message behind it but it’s unfortunately not going to win. hopefully top 10 though
Don't mind me im just putting this song on repeat over and over again! Im without a dought addicted. Thank u for delivering this jewel Austria 🇵🇹 🇦🇹 🤗❣
As a Spanish eurofan, I think this song represents a grand part of the singers now. I love the song and the dance too. It NEEDS at least to be in the top 10!!! Good luck to Teya and Salena from Spain 🇪🇸❤️🇦🇹
This is everything i've every wanted and more. All joking aside, this is legitimately amaing, and just a fun and a total bop. This is doing very well in semi 2.
Ach Mädels, ihr seid einfach klasse! Mein Herz habt ihr bereits gewonnen mit dem Song. :) Bitte auch unbedingt mit Tänzern beim ESC, dann wird das was mit dem Finaleinzug! Liebe Grüße aus Niederösterreich/Wien 🤗
This is what Eurovision is all about! More fun and energetic songs please, I don't want to be bored to death listening to lullabies all night. 12 points from Finland!
I disagree to what you say,Eurovision is about diversity,i like slow songs too,they are beautiful most of time but i like energetic songs too,i like both slow and energetic songs,if all songs are the same this would be bad
Interesting comment. Because many of these "energetic" songs, specially when they sound like millions of songs I've heard before....produce that exact effect on me...being bored to death.
Honestly I thought I already had my top five and didn't think any song would change it. Jokes on me I love this song too much, it's a masterpiece. Love from Italy🇮🇹 ❤️🇦🇹
@@pt4005 ? These lyrics are so well thought through. Kinda like Mata Hari. You don't expect it from the beginning but it is an actual story adjusted to modern history. Search for Edgar Allan Poe, who he was and what he did and then listen to the lyrics again. The song criticizes the music industry! "At least it pays to be funny" ironically.
Honestly Absolutely not, it's the worst song I've ever seen at esc or at any other music Platform or festival or music industry, but the both singers are good people, with another song, would be better choice because the both are good singers, and this song don't let them shine at all or give any good perspective to win I am afraid they would be the last place and the both derseve more because they are be able to do more.
This is brilliant. Clever, fun and catchy as hell while still managing to express a serious message about the music industry. I love it. This will do really well at eurovision if the staging and live performances are on point. A serious dark horse.

@@-eliaplayz-5766 because cha cha cha is an incredible masterpiece
Ah yes, the Eurovision Contest Song
So, I'll break this down
"There's a ghost in my body and he is a lyricist"
"Oh Mia Padre, There's a ghost in my body"
They are taking a shot at the industry. Alot of artist's today will use Ghostwriters who will produce or write music and get a little amount in revenue whilst the artist gets a decent cut for performing it. They also use their song as a way to demonstrate this. In today's industry, you could make the most meaningful song but cover it with Electro or dance and bam... It's a worldwide hit and people miss the actual meaning. So, they did the same by making this fun, quirky pop track that you miss the actual meaning behind the song.
"What's your IPI? Where's the A&R?
Girl, call Universal, you're about to be a star"
IPI is a digital barcode that a A&R team recieve when content is made. It determines how much royalty the Producer, Writer, Artist and Label will receive. In most cases, again, the producer and label receive the most whilst the songwriter and artist receive hardly anything. They take a shot at Universal Music group as they are known to take MASSIVE chunks from artists and also not give their artist's any creative control over their music or sound. It's sarcasm. You'll become a star and be rich, but it'll come at a price, basically!
"Zero dot zero zero three
Give me two years, and your dinner will be free"
Most streaming sites will pay a artist 0.003 in revenue every stream. This lyric actually hits so hard. All they could afford is cheap champagne and after two years, they'd finally make a small profit. Unless you're a massive artist pulling in millions of plays each month, you will hardly see a profit from your song and will have to wait a few years before you can just about afford a meal. It's a strong message to display just how much the industry and streaming sites do not value the work or content of hard working artists. This is why she then says "At least it pays to be funny". Comedians make more money than hard working songwriters and artists!! Let that sink in.
In the second half of the video, they dress up as men delivering the song to a board of record executives. This is because men's work is often listened to more and released whilst women's hard work goes unnoticed or unfavoured. You then see them get arrested for impersonation and taken to prison. This is because they are trying to display the message, it would be so much easier to be a man in the industry than be a woman. VERY CLEVER what they did there.
This song is ART. It's not even a song at this point. It deserves recognition for how amazing it is. It's such a fun, quirky song with such a deep and powerful message. I hope Europe research it because I NEED Them to understand. It's not a joke entry and this deserves a final place 😭

As a matter of fact, I know many artists who don’t receive any recognition for their work and are still hoping to get a bite of the cherry as it is. Thanks for shedding some light on this sad reality, Teya and Salena. Good luck in Liverpool, Austria! ❤🇵🇪🇦🇹😊
I love your song this year!! Blanca is amazing, i wish you good luck 🇦🇹❤️🇪🇸
@@xromyx Thx for supporting Blanca. I’m from Peru, but Ea Ea is one of my fave entries too. Here's hoping Spain and Austria smash it in May! ❤🤞🙂
A song about Edgar Allan Poe on Eurovision... The world is turning out to be a wonderful place.
Fr
Do not forget the rest of the meaning ...
So disappointed by the poor live performance but this was easily the best song and video last year. Love it.
Edgar is a lyrical genius Austria thank you for bringing the fun to Eurovision love from the UK 🇦🇹🇬🇧
This song is so addictive. I hope Austria gets to the top 5 at least. Good luck from Czechia 🇨🇿
Eej ďakujemee 🫶🎉
this and sister's crown for top two.
We need joy in this cruel world, Europe needs to party after 3 awful years of Pandemic. This song is so feel good very good vibes. 12 points from France to Austria
😍❤️❤️
THEY WERE SO UNDERATED THEY DESERVE TO BE IN TOP 10
I love this so much, it’s absolutely criminal this didn’t get at least top 10. It’s my winner without doubt. Brilliant tune, fun dance, talented women. Teya & Salena should be proud of themselves. Much love from the UK
Austria bringing the moment of the Eurovision 2023 season so far, this is fucking incredible.
@@dmurphy3972 lol
Poland: Can we have a song critiquing music industry with an operatic element in ESC?
Poland: Nahhh
Austria: HELL YEAHHH
12 points from 🇵🇱! seriously congratulations, you have an amazing entry this year, and we envy you so much🥺❣️
I love Jann!! So sad he's not gonna go to eurovision :(
🇦🇹🇵🇱
fr they avenged Jann
@@xromyx I'm still upset to this day 😭. If he represented Poland that would've been my number 1 song for this year
So true 😅
There's smth that can heal our pain a little. Jann will perform on March 11 at the Melodifestivalen, don't miss it ^^
0:40 Angels are speaking to my ears. Such a good arrangement and voices through the song though
1:39
If you want a fun fact, you can see « Liverpool » on their plates, wich is this year’s host city. But also, the number is 1305 or 13/05 or May the 13th (in European date) wich is the day of the grand final.
I’m hoping you will make it, Salena and Teya ❤️💫
Really! I'd never notice that, ty for telling us
So is this a refrence that Austria will be back in the finals this year?
@@NoahLewis_Ayling this is a reference to Austria winning the semi final 😮💨
Austria will also perform the 13th in 2nd semi
@@mirgjendalipi5517 yes but when the clip was out, they didn’t know it so it’s not related
Teya und Salena, ihr seid eine wirkliche Bereicherung dieses Jahr für den Contest. Hut ab. Definitiv ein Top 5 Platz und die Perfomance wird zeigen, ob nicht doch ein Sieger dahinter steckt. Ich drücke euch jedenfalls die Daumen.
I am from the UK and as soon as I heard this I loved it, I genuinely think this should have won hands down!
Although the Live Performance wasn’t what I envisioned, this will forever be one of my favourite Eurovision Music Videos
this is so catchy and it's been stuck in my head. i don't understand why it didn't get a lot of points as the performance was amazing! much love from the UK :)
Because Eurovision songs, especially recently are either won by Power ballad/Anthems or a memorable dance track that doesn't have a complex theme. I mean the audience were probably trying to work out what the 0.003 meant. Also being first in the running order probably didn't help. Last couple of years it's been a man at a piano or singing a slow ballad. Portugal and Netherlands for example.
Seit Jahren jammere ich über die miesen Beiträge unseres Landes. ENDLICH ein Song, mit dem ich mich identifizieren kann! Diese Nummer, bei der man einfach nicht stillsitzen kann, zählt heuer für mich zu den Top 3! Und ich bin stolz darauf, Mädels, dass Ihr Österreich vertretet! Rockt die Bühne mit dieser Guten-Laune-Nummer! Alles Gute!
This is easily more memorable than the majority of songs. Utterly brilliant!
I don't know why but something tells me they actually enjoyed this. And so did I.
I can’t get enough of this. First song this year I’ve instantly put on repeat
such a hit!
Same. I can't stop listening to it. HELP.
This song is my new favorite, it's pure genius, it's a masterpiece!
It's catchy, danceable and memorable. Both the song and Teya and Salena are very unique and have a lot of character and personality. Also the message behind the song is really important but sadly a lot of people don't recognize the deep meaning behind the lyrics. And the most important thing: They can sing this live, they have great voices!
Amazing! Austria is finally in the final again!
12 points from Israel 🇮🇱❤🇦🇹
This was the best song of 2023: campy, funny, catchy, and actually made a point. It's a lesson in why staging is important, because they didn't bring the video to life or include the same comedy, so it didn't do as well as it should've. But this will forever be one of my favorite Eurovision songs!
This is the first time I have ever heard of Edgar…And I’m not regretting,this song is an amazing way to know about him,great job Austria!!!!!
POE POE POE POE POE EDGAR ALLEN POE!!!!!🇦🇹
And now I don’t know which I like more from Austria,Sacher-Torte or this song
No smokes and mirrors; just a clean performance and they nailed it!!!!
12 points from Israel 🎉🎉🎉
😍❤️❤️
Same!
"There’s a ghost in my body and he is a lyricist ...
Don’t know how he possessed me, but I’m happy that he did ...
Maybe I should call a doctor or an exorcist"
12 point for a song which is from top to bottom literally about demon possession. No smokes no mirrors, just possession.
Pretty funny ... and I´m not surprised.
@@kaptainkrampus2856 If you think it's about a literal possession then you don't really know what's going on here.
@@alekra3521 really missed a chance there to just reply with "ugh"
The most chaotic bop of the year! 😍
Yet still sounds good
YES!
Chaotic? You forgot Croatia...👀
Yes it's chaotic, a different type of chaotic, not like Croatia. People are just so limited, and think th to be chaotic u just have to be 1 thing, no there's million of different types of chaotic and this is one of them, FOR SURE! Open your horizons.
@@ApolloRR Come on Croatia is way more chaotic but in fact, i like both of them cause it's something new and i hope that Austria gets a good result in the final.
2023 was such an amazing Eurovision year tbh. There were like four or five great songs that could have won
Austria sending another bop! I really liked Austrias last year entry aswell! Good luck and much love from 🇷🇸
I always love your songs!! I hope Luke will get a high placing again for Serbia 🙏🏻
🇦🇹🇷🇸❤️🤍'💙🇷🇸🇦🇹
Austria's last year's entry was actually quite forgettable and didn't do well at all, so if this does the same, it doesn't bode well for it...
Teya je nase gore list:)
@@florenna In my opinion, Austria’s song for last year was quite good but the stage and the vocal were pretty disappointing
Austria is SLAYING this year! Category is: EdgarAllanPoe Realness 😍
First listen: What the hell did i just listen to?
Second Listen: This is actually pretty good. And catchy
Third Listen: POE POE POE POE EDGAR ALLAN POE.
12 Points from Denmark!. What a BOP. Austria saves Eurovision
I just had understood that they are my Eurovision queens forever 🖤❤
POE POE POE POE POE! This song is for me a true winner of Eurovision this year, Teya & Salena must win. Love from Serbia 🇷🇸💙💙💙🇦🇹
Rooting for Austria, big support from Zagreb. Croatia! One of my favourite places, so rich history, beautiful old towns, my favourite classical composers (being a piano teacher!)... Not to mention that once upon a time we were in the same country!
Back to the point... This song has been stuck in my head for the past few days since I heard it. Great rhythm, interesting video and just a dose of grotesque and apsurdity... Just what I like to hear!
Austria deserved more!! I'm totally obsessed with this song! Well done, from Italy
Just the best song ever 😭😭
I can't stop listening to this song. You are my winner this year. Good luck to Austria 🇦🇹 from Albania 🇦🇱!
😍❤️❤️
Teya is Serbian
So cool. We were visiting Vienna a few weeks back and someone was busking @Metro Westbahnhof. Turns out that was Salena. We have a favorite now. ❤
How cool 😍👌❣️
As an American English teacher… this is AMAZING 😂😂
Teya studied German and English to become a teacher.
Yee. I think this song would win the US telly.
Why exactly?
@@galaxyneon6054 maybe google who Edgar Allan Poe was.
@@neontricity if you don't know who Edgar Allan Poe is, your school definitely did something wrong imo😭. Like, how have some people not heard of him?
I was in a family reunion but my head was on Poe, Poe, Poe... All the time. I love this song!!!
This song is a club banger perfect for the night clubs. 12 points from France to Austria
Austria, you are the true winner this year! Incredible song.
let's not get ahead of ourselves here buddy
I don't want to say you are wrong but you are. Did you heard song from Czech Republic (Czechia) or Serbia? Did you listen to Moldovia or even Australia? In my opinion this year it was hard to give one big star of the show.
@@asnozm3105 czech republic was awful
@@asnozm3105 this is exactly the situation, so many songs could've easily taken the winner's spot this year. i def like this song most tho, clever lyrics, catchy and insanely well produced.
@@hexamine666 I would read a little bit on the ideas behind the song, its production etc if you haven't already. You are entitled to your opinion as much as I am entitled to mine.
I love the fact that this song criticize the fast music is written nowadays ❤. The lyrics 😍
Austria dissing Sweden basically
@@marshmelows seriously why are y’all so obsessed with hating Sweden 💀💀💀
@@anadechic the hat fits 🙃
@@anadechic They just have bad taste don't worry, Sweden is almost always one of the best or even the best
@@giovanni_vaz_cardoso and that’s on periodt!!
This song will be remembered, really underrated
I don't even watch Eurovision but somehow found this, I think it's going to win
I mean this song is in the weaker semi final I say it might actually do very well since it’s a 100% tele. But the the final had the chance to be a very strong final example of strong players Sweden, Norway, Finland, and France. I say they might end maybe 15-10
This is my absolute #1 song of Eurovision 2023, though I think that Sweden, France, or Finland have greater odds at winning. Regardless, my vote is going to Austria lol.
I should listen the Sweden song then
as someone who’s been watching eurovision since i learned to walk, this song is great and has an amazing message behind it but it’s unfortunately not going to win. hopefully top 10 though
This is a great song for musicians or people that has a certain cultural luggage ...Top five would be great.
I am from Belgium and knowing my country, our 12p in semi two will go to Austria. I will be voting for it as well, good luck girls 🇧🇪❤🇦🇹
12 points from France to Austria
Don't mind me im just putting this song on repeat over and over again! Im without a dought addicted. Thank u for delivering this jewel Austria 🇵🇹 🇦🇹 🤗❣
This was my first top pick for 2023 eurovision and has remained on my fav playlist ever so. Brilliant beat!
As a Spanish eurofan, I think this song represents a grand part of the singers now.
I love the song and the dance too.
It NEEDS at least to be in the top 10!!!
Good luck to Teya and Salena from Spain
🇪🇸❤️🇦🇹
This is everything i've every wanted and more. All joking aside, this is legitimately amaing, and just a fun and a total bop. This is doing very well in semi 2.
Poe! Poe! Poe! Poe! Poe! Edgar Allen, Edgar Allen!
It's something we ain't never seen before
This and Slovenia will CRUSH sf2
@@wibbliams ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!
Best of luck from Germany. This song is a diamond. 😃
Can say the same for your song. Love it!

This song is stuck in my head and I can't stop listening to it...
This is what Eurovision is all about! More fun and energetic songs please, I don't want to be bored to death listening to lullabies all night. 12 points from Finland!
I disagree to what you say,Eurovision is about diversity,i like slow songs too,they are beautiful most of time but i like energetic songs too,i like both slow and energetic songs,if all songs are the same this would be bad
@@ailanecapitalia8847 Eurovision is also about making a great show, and generic ballads make for boring/depressing shows.
I agree, too much tearsheding ballads
Interesting comment. Because many of these "energetic" songs, specially when they sound like millions of songs I've heard before....produce that exact effect on me...being bored to death.
Absolute agree! I love a good show and this is how you do it. If I wanted to sleep I'd turn the TV off
My winner so far. Refreshing, original, pure art❤️ 12pts from Lithuania🇱🇹
Honestly I thought I already had my top five and didn't think any song would change it. Jokes on me I love this song too much, it's a masterpiece. Love from Italy🇮🇹 ❤️🇦🇹

Hoi mitch
@@esckickie👀
In English.. these lyrics have absolutely no meaning. It’s gibberish
@@pt4005 ?
These lyrics are so well thought through. Kinda like Mata Hari. You don't expect it from the beginning but it is an actual story adjusted to modern history. Search for Edgar Allan Poe, who he was and what he did and then listen to the lyrics again. The song criticizes the music industry! "At least it pays to be funny" ironically.
Honestly Absolutely not, it's the worst song I've ever seen at esc or at any other music Platform or festival or music industry, but the both singers are good people, with another song, would be better choice because the both are good singers, and this song don't let them shine at all or give any
good perspective to win
I am afraid they would be the last place and the both derseve more because they are be able to do more.
This is brilliant. Clever, fun and catchy as hell while still managing to express a serious message about the music industry. I love it. This will do really well at eurovision if the staging and live performances are on point. A serious dark horse.
I am watching ESC for 20 years now. I have never supported Austria like I am doing this year!
