Posted January 10, 201213 yr After Nadine Beiler's brilliant ballad last year, qualifying Austria for the final, here are this year's 10 finalists: 01: Deladap – “Crazy Swing” 02: Blockstars – Unknown 03: James Cottriall – “Stand Up” 04: Krautschädl – “Einsturzgefohr” 05: Mary Broadcast Band – “How Can You Ask Me” 06: Papermoon – “Vater, Father, Mon Père” 07: Norbert Schneider – “Medicate My Blues Away” 08: Trackshittaz – “Woki Mit Deim Popo” 09: Valerie – “Comme Ca” 10: Conchita Wurst – “That’s What I Am” You can listen to most of the entries here: http://www.escdaily.com/austria-listen-to-eight-finalists/ I haven't listened to any yet, but hopefully there will be something as good as The Secret Is Love :) Edited February 24, 201213 yr by Ryan741
January 10, 201213 yr Most of the 8 available songs are absolute boring CRAP circa 2001. I believe 'Crazy Swing' could well steal the show if performed great live. Only being first in the running order it doesn't look so great for them, as we all know how long this whole thing lasted last year! Trackshittaz of course stand a HUGE chance of finally being chosen. My third pick would be 'That's What I Am', depending on vocalist's abilities too. If she's anything like Nadine then it's very possible.

February 24, 201213 yr Author The results will be announced within the next hour. Conchita (the bearded woman) is the big favourite, with Trackshittaz the only others seeming to be with any chance.
February 24, 201213 yr Author Despite Conchita being odds on favourite, Trackshittaz won the Austrian national final! The best choice out of a pretty poor national final I think :)
February 24, 201213 yr Trackshittaz? I expect them to censor the band name in May. Tracks-Hittaz? Trackhittaz? Trackickazz?
February 24, 201213 yr Utter crap, and probably 0 points in the semi. Not that there was much on offer, but Conchita clearly had the best song in tonight's final.
February 24, 201213 yr Ugh, glad I didn't watch the NF, there was nothing at all in the ten songs that interested me and this was one of the worst. Thank god Nadine beat this awful act last year but she wasn't there to save them this year :( Austria having a fantastic entry was a nice oddity but lightning clearly doesn't strike twice. 12 points from Pavel, nul from the rest of the world.
February 24, 201213 yr I wanted Conchita as the winner. In my point of view, she was the best of the night and she definitely looked great on stage. I am feeling so sad.
February 25, 201213 yr Love them. It was always obvious they'd get that win. This is so not getting 0 points in the Semi, I see it being at least mid-table in the Televoting results.
