02 - Austria - Du Bist (You Are) - Tie Break

The only tie-break they’ll be taking part in will be for bottom place, with this boyband fodder which is so weak it wouldn’t even be considered for the Westlife ‘Rejected B-sides’ album. (It’s coming sometime, surely?) It certainly wouldn’t have made it through the semi if they’d had to qualify, and for that this trio will forever be indebted to the madness of Alf Poier which got them here. This year’s only song in German, language fans. The three boys all got to the last 20 in the Austrian Pop Idol. Ooh, big deal. Okay, they look cute/sexy enough, but that will have to overcompensate severely for how weak and thin this song is. The Austrian preselection was absolutely rubbish, with bad songs, badly directed. This was actually the best of a bad bunch, but millions of the people who thought they would just check out the songs and were swayed to stay in for Ramon, will now be halfway to the pub.
