	The Singer Boy band trio, with comparatively decent voices. They're young so I can't be that harsh. One of them thinks Final Destination is the greatest movie of all time, and another of them wants to seem cool so he lied and said his favourite food is sushi. Ah, bless em.












	The Past The real miracle really is that Austria have actually won the ESC. We all took pity on third timer Udo in 1966, thus giving Teutons something to shout about that year. Since then they've been either mid-table or shite, and often both at the same time. Thomas Forstner merits particular attention, doing it twice and coming 5th and then last. Both songs were absolute shockers. There's no Eurosong pedigree in Austria....their history is more like Aldi own-brand dog food.



	The Song Disappointingly this is an extremely mainstream effort from the Austrians. It's got that touch of Elton John about it (something Furnish, and maybe some boys, know all about). The performance mostly consists of them walking around each other in a poor attempt of choreography, taking it in turns to appeal lovingly to the camera.




	Overall In a contest heavy with males gesturing with open arms to the crowd, this one gestures with more confidence than many others. However it is quite forgettable, especially considering it's early starting position, which makes it more likely to be forgotten. Everything points to an awful contest for Austria, but then again, so did last year. And don't presume that the Germanic language will hamper it. At 100-1 for an each way bet, you could do worse. In a Nutshell "You are the outsiders, but I'm not convinced you are"

Du Bist

Diese Stille, die ich hab, immer wenn du bei mir bist
Diese pure Fantasie, diese Kraft, die du nur gibst
Diese kleinen Glücksmomente, die du mir so zahlreich gibst
Immer fehlen dann die Worte, weil es ohne dich nichts gibt

Wenn du traurig bist, dann wein ich mit dir mit
Wenn du schläfst, dann träum ich mit dir mit

Du bist das Leben, das ich lieb
Du hast das Lachen, das ich brauch
Du bist der Stern am Sternenzelt
Und alles andere Schöne auch

Du bist die Kraft, die mich umgibt
Du bist die Wärme, bist das Licht
Und was ich sonst noch alles brauch
Das bist du auch

Du bist ein Wahnsinns-Optimist, für diese Grenzen unbekannt
Für dich ist jeder Wunsch ein Ziel und meine Träume werden wahr

Wenn du traurig bist, dann wein ich mit dir mit
Wenn du schläfst, dann träum ich mit dir mit

Du bist das Leben, das ich lieb
Du hast das Lachen, das ich brauch
Du bist der Stern am Sternenzelt
Und alles andere Schöne auch

Du bist die Kraft, die mich umgibt
Du bist die Wärme, bist das Licht
Und was ich sonst noch alles brauch
Das bist du auch

Die Luft, die mir den Atem gibt
Das Wunder, das man Leben nennt
Das Wasser, das sich nicht verdunst
Alles in einem, das bist du

Du bist das Leben, das ich lieb
Du hast das Lachen, das ich brauch
Du bist der Stern am Sternenzelt
Und alles andere Schöne auch

Du bist die Kraft, die mich umgibt
Du bist die Wärme, bist das Licht
Und was ich sonst noch alles brauch
Das bist du auch

You Are

This silence that I feel every time you're with me
This pure fantasy, this strength which only you give
These tiny moments of happiness, which you give me often
The words are always missing, 'cause there is nothing without you

If you are sad, then I'll cry with you
If you're asleep, then I'll dream with you

You are the life that I love
You are the laughter that I'm used to
You are the star in the sky
And everything else that's beautiful

You are the strength that surrounds me
You are the warmth, you are the light
And all the rest I'm used to
All that you are

You are insanely optimistic, for these borders unknown
For you each desire is a goal, and my dreams come true

If you are sad, then I'll cry with you
If you're asleep, then I'll dream with you

You are the life that I love
You are the laughter that I'm used to
You are the star in the sky
And everything else that's beautiful

You are the strength that surrounds me
You are the warmth, you are the light
And all the rest I'm used to
All that you are

The air that I breathe
The miracle called life
The water that hasn't evaporated
All I none, that is you

You are the life that I love
You are the laughter that I'm used to
You are the star in the sky
And everything else that's beautiful

You are the strength that surrounds me
You are the warmth, you are the light
And all the rest I'm used to
All that you are
