Most Wins: Austria 2 (Portugal 1)
Bookies Favourite: Portugal 80/1 (Austria 300/1)
LUM!X feat. Pia Maria were internally selected to represent Austria with a dance song co-written by 1/3 of Eiffel 65. MARO won both the Jury and public vote at Festival da Canção 2022 with her self penned indi tune. Vastly different songs for the first semi final.
LUM!X is better known for Monster, Thunder, both of which featured Eiffel 65's Gabry Ponte. Though LUM!X has star power, Pia Maria is lacking, and also lacks in the vocal department, which she blames on long Corona. MARO has no vocal issues and has an interesting vocal quality. She also has some starpower having worked with Jacob Collier and Odesza, but mainly her strength is that she can sing.

In the end it is a matter of what the audience likes best. If Pia Maria has some success with the vocal coach the Austrian delegation have assigned to her, then herr and LUM!X could do rather well. Meanwhile MARO could put people to sleep. The more these songs are heard the better they sound, but with one listen it is anyone's game.
This round goes to... tied.
