November 1, 20168 yr 'Rhythm Inside' was the best song of Eurovision 2015 and this is also brilliant. He has a fabulous, emotive voice and the production is very slick. Male Sia is a good shout!
November 1, 20168 yr Heard this a couple of days ago, it really is very good! I think if he wasn't Belgian (and was American or British) then he would be hitting charts globally as he definitely is the male Sia, but unfortunately no-one will pay attention to someone who didn't even win The Voice of Belgium. :( If he'd won Eurovision and released this straight afterwards then perhaps he could've forged out a European-wide career like Loreen could've done if she hadn't given up after like two singles, but I think he's left it too late. Could you pop this over to the Eurovision forum as well please!
November 1, 20168 yr He has nothing to do with Eurovision now though? :heehee: Ryan trying to steal our posts :kink:
November 1, 20168 yr No it isn't that! :heehee: It was agreed a couple of years ago that all topics by Eurovision/Melodifestivalen artists (except those with fanbases dating back to before their Eurovision appearance - Dami Im etc) would go into the Eurovision forum! For example The Common Linnets always have their topics in Eurovision, so has Frans or Serebro etc.
November 1, 20168 yr Author I disagree with this arrangement. He is a pop artist. People come into this forum for the national finals and the contest itself, not for songs by artists from 2 years ago
November 1, 20168 yr It's something that can be re-discussed for sure in the mod forums, I was originally of the same viewpoint as you (you can see this in the Genre Mod Lounge somewhere) but was overruled by the majority. However over time I have been convinced that it was the right decision as, using recent examples, I doubt Mans or The Common Linnets would've achieved more than 13 posts in the fast-moving pop forum.
November 1, 20168 yr I agree with Tim though, if I come into the ESC forum, I want details on the ESC. Not an artist who came 19th in 2006 releasing a new single
November 1, 20168 yr I think ABBA would be a special case, they have had a massive career which Eurovision was a tiny element of whereas 99% of Eurovision artists now will peak their careers at Eurovision attention-wise. See t.A.T.u also! There's a notice about this in the Pop Forum's Notice thread, so that explains it better than I can now as it was a couple of years ago when all the Genre Mods and Eurovision Mods agreed to it: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=4968436 If the new Pop mods want to re-discuss that's fair enough, everyone has different opinions - I'm not trying to steamroll you into doing something, just going by what the most recent directive regarding these threads are!
November 3, 20168 yr He has such a predictable aesthetic/performance style that it kind of ruins him for me. I like his music a lot, and like him a lot because he expresses himself in an industry where it's not easy for men to do so, but then I see his self-expression and I just think "keep it" because it's so redundant. You guys say he's the male Sia and I wonder why that's necessary when female Sia is doing her job perfectly fine. I really hope he gets a chance to mature as an artist because I want to like him a lot more than I do but he's just so lacking in depth at this point.
January 1, 20178 yr Metro have named Loic as one of the male artists "that will rule 2017" [in the UK]! :o http://metro.co.uk/2016/12/30/new-music-he...e-2017-6337635/
