Fal Back and Angelic Smile: JJ is the best Victoria opportunity for Austria in Eurovision since the triumph of Drag Queen Barbue Conchita Wurst eleven years ago.
With Wasted lovethat drives the acute soprano between two ballad choirs before completing on the Techno flight, the alpine country seems to have been a risky but paid decision: the traigators predict a second place behind Sweden.
“It surprises people that a man can sing like high,” said the young austro-photon-fot host who grew up in Dubai to the AFP before making his ranges with small papers in Vienna’s opera.
Even if he says that he appreciates the “classical world” that makes Austria shine beyond its borders and where “everything is very strict”, JJ -Johannes Pietsch of his real name, rings in the fingers and Pantacourt, he also wants to have the “freedom to leave steam” and “experiment.”
Conchita Wurst advice
A mixture known as operational pop, an “interdisciplinary approach and transgressing genres” that “enriches thought and promotes creative exchanges,” applauds Andreas Mailath-Pokorny, the rector of the school very serious where JJ is still studying lyrical art.
The classic was heard in Eurovision in the 1950s, then gradually melted in other styles with several successes, the Italian group Il Volo had managed to lift tenors in 2015 in third place.
But JJ did not expect to comply with such an echo with a more “confidential” musical record than most of the titles presented in the competition, even if some associate their piece with that of the Swiss artist Nemo, winner of last year.
A comparison that JJ really does not understand, because “there is no rap” in his air, melancholy and floating performance, which speaks of a period of his life in which “wasted too much love” without receiving it.
Misheme of the couple, glory on stage: The Hearts of Heart had already been successful in the Alpino country in 1966, during their first victory with Thanks love From Udo Jürgens, a rupture tube, busy on stage by Helene Fischer, the German pop queen.
“When JJ sings, it is as if the watches stop turning,” said Drag Queen Conchita Wurst about her, seeing this “impressive professional”, with whom he recorded a duo, his worthy successor.
The artist offers the young man his advice to maintain until the semifinal qualifying of May 15 and the final of May 17. Together with singer Louane, whose French texts have studied and found this year in the “same scene as him”, a dream come true.
Bach, Céline Dion and Whitney Houston
Of the vast repertoire of the previous 68 editions of Eurovision, Bird and child Marie Myriam, who earned France her last victory in 1977, remains one of her favorite songs and interprets her happily in the original version.
A gift for languages that come from their education in an international establishment of Emirates, where his Austrian father, a computer scientist, had established his business.
It was his that inherited the taste for the classic, Bach and Mozart in mind, while his mother, of the Philippines and Cook, listened to Céline Dion and Whitney Houston.
German, English, Tagalo, Arabic and French: JJ can use its four octaves as it considers it convenient, an asset when the competition also follows massively outside the European continent.
“On stage, everyone has their place,” JJ said, while homosexual and transgender people see their rights returning in countries that have left the competition, accused of being too rainbow, such as Hungary.
“Not only the LGBT+community”, but all, because “music is a unique language that any human being can speak and understand.” Either pop, or classic or … not binary.
