Austria. Cosmo – Tanzschein.
Cosmo was the name of an all you can eat Buffet in the fair city of Nottingham – you could get everything you ever wanted and literally *all* the Desserts. Why am I telling you this? – Well Cosmo and Smorgasbord go together in my mind and, believe you me, this song has something for everyone from Pup culture to teenagers in fluffy coats… well, clearly not *everyone* then!
I’m struggling to describe this song but the best I can do is Electronica crossed with a bit of this :
Still the only people to beat Conchita in a televote…..
It’s actually not a bad song at all and develops well from that and for someone that’s nineteen he clearly knows what he is and what he wants and with this closing the show I can see this being all in your face with the strobe lights and his signature hand moves which are, thankfully, less annoying than The Roop’s ones ( Sorry Lisa!). It does have things that Europe won’t like – like German language Rap, two things that should never ever be in the same sentence but it looks and smells like something you would hear in an underground club in Innsbruck in the early eighties. I fear, though, the demographic that danced their tits off to this then would be in zimmer frames now… the perfect Eurovision audience, then. Ticky-Tock and Facebook won’t like it, therefore I do!
Phil’s Score – 6 Points.
