February 20, 20187 yr If Dominoes is selected the money note being nailed live is gonna cause me to have to plan my funeral for 13th May tbh That part gives me shivers and takes me right back to her amazing X Factor performances.
February 20, 20187 yr huns. dominos isn't sound of silence. don't get your hopes up This is my thinking too... "Monsters" is the bigger anthem here. Though I do like "Domino".
February 20, 20187 yr huns. dominos isn't sound of silence. don't get your hopes up I agree, Domino is a much better song.
February 21, 20187 yr IMO Domino is much better than Monsters. I am obsessed to Domino at the moment and find it quite catchier than the latter. I could see her slaying those high notes in the end live.
February 21, 20187 yr It's much more Undo than SOS, the latter was full on power ballad whereas this is like pop ballad on Swedish pop steroids, both are fab ways to go tho
February 21, 20187 yr I prefer Domino too, it's great, though Monsters is excellent too. I never really loved Sound of Silence...Dami is incredible, the song less so.
February 21, 20187 yr I prefer Domino too, it's great, though Monsters is excellent too. I never really loved Sound of Silence...Dami is incredible, the song less so. This. Sound of Silence was an amazing chorus with lacklustre verses. Never saw the appeal. Dami really made that performance the silver medalist it deserved to be.
February 21, 20187 yr Monsters is flippin fab! Love it! Domino is also brilliantly done, but I'm always gonna opt for a bop over a ballad. Domino is a far better written song than SOS, which I thought was a bit naff (but brilliantly performed obvs).
February 21, 20187 yr I don't why we have to compare anyway tbh, Dami was of course brilliant but didn't invent power ballads at Eurovision. Saara is an incredible performer and vocalist and will sell whatever song is picked in the best way she can to the best of her ability.
February 21, 20187 yr There's an obvious reason to compare "Domino" to "Sound Of Silence" though. "Sound Of Silence" is a recent entry of a similar ilk that came 2nd. It also owed to some big notes, which "Domino" would require as well. They're also both by female solo singers who came to prominence via music reality TV shows. "Sound Of Silence" and "Undo" seem the most obvious songs to compare it to...
February 21, 20187 yr I think Domino is a pretty safe "lower reaches of the top 10/top 5 if everything goes right for them" whilst Monsters is something that's more of a risk but if it pays off then it could win the whole thing. I'll (in all likelihood) probably end up writing something longer about it but it's got so many of the elements you think about when identifying a potential winner, the songs good and memorable, it sounds like the sort of thing that would be in the charts/Spotify playlists without sounding so much so that it blends into the background, is different enough to stand out basically no matter what is around it, has a message about triumph through adversity and finding strength within herself (and I personally love that the video imagery and the lyrics suggest that it's all about finding strength through her queerness) and I've no doubt that she can absolutely nail that call to arms moment with the high note of "I ain't scared!" before the final chorus. If Friedman et al can nail her staging then I think Monsters is going to be absolutely unstoppable.
February 22, 20187 yr Author The Sun has posted 'Queens', I assume by mistake CATCH IT BEFORE IT GOES (scroll down) https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/56372...s-kevin-bishop/
February 22, 20187 yr Author It's the most Saara Aalto song personality wise of the three (and the video seems to take a lot of inspiration from Sugababes' Denial, no bad thing) but I agree, would be the worst choice for Eurovision. 'Monsters' please Saara, wouldn't be upset with 'Domino' but it's already quite a ballad heavy year so far.
February 22, 20187 yr "Queens" is my least favourite of the 3 for me, it's just a bit too camp for me. It's not bad though, quite theatrical.
February 22, 20187 yr am i hearing a bit of Britney?? lol ULTIMATE EUROVISION ANTHEM. I already see eurogaiz losing their shit to this. FABULOUS. might be my favourite of the three.
