Eurovision 2017: Austria

Austria's entry is rather nice.


Nathan Trent   "Running On Air"

The Jack Johnson sound that Trent is performing is pretty nice.    Very radio friendly.

The problem is that this song is pretty nice and very radio friendly.   There isn't anything that makes me think the song will translate well on the stage in Kyiv and that's a nail in the coffin for Austria's chances in making the final.

Austria doesn't have any musical allies at Eurovision, so to make it to Saturday night there has to be something special about the performance.   Three minutes of perfectly pleasant pop isn't going to make people pick up the phone.
