Who? Nadine Beiler
Entry for which Country? Austria
Our Thoughts? Nadine starts off like Whitney Houston -(and we’re sure Whitney had that hair at one point). As the song goes on though she sounds a bit more like Christina Aguilera, complete with lots of vocal runs and warbling. Yes, this girl has a pair of lungs on her.
The problem comes from the fact that this would be one of Christina’s/Whitney’s album tracks rather than a single and The Secret Is Love is about as big a cliche as you can get. The song though come close to being amazing at points and if Nadine can really belt it out on the night she could have a “Eurovision moment”, which could secure a top three place for this outsider.
If she doesn’t do this though, she could be assigned to the Eurovision obscurity like so many of her fellow Austrain’s before her.
Chances? We’re not sure whether fans of grand drama will be more attracted to her or the French frontrunner. If, as we hope, France doesn’t prove as popular as critics are forecasting then she could pick up many of these votes. A win though seems like a fairly remote possibility.
