Post authorIt’s mid-April and we have about a month to go till the annual Eurovision contest. It will happen next month. Get excited! Though the contest was canceled last year and faces strict protocols due to the current pandemic, we can still enjoy this international contest from anywhere in the world.
Each day, I will feature a song from one of the countries that are in this year’s Eurovision. Like. I will make my own predictions of who will make it to the finals and maybe win the competition. Good luck to those who are competing!
Vincent Bueno’s “Amen”
“Amen” by Vincent Buono is representing Austria for this year’s Eurovision. The song is really empowering, as mentioned in the quote above, as it all about that inner struggle we all face and resolving it for a better future. I love the message, but I feel like Buono’s performance is lack-lustered. It starts off great with just the singer’s vocals and a few acoustic instruments. The energy builds up and explodes into a soulful one by the chorus. But, I feel like the chorus is too subtle. I keep on thinking from the first chorus to end in that there could have been more, especially in the vocals. I feel like they aren’t giving their all.
Unless Buono can gives us a lot more vocal power in the semi-finals, I don’t think “Amen” will make it to the Eurovision finals.
