Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022
On 8 February 2022, the Austrian broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF) announced that they had internally selected Lumix and Pia Maria to compete at the 2022 contest, while "Halo" was presented to the public on 11 March 2022.[6] From 2011 to 2013 as well as in 2015 and 2016, ORF set up national finals with several artists to choose both the song and performer to compete at Eurovision for Austria, with both the public and a panel of jury members involved in the selection.[10][11] On 8 February 2022, "Halo" performed by Lumix featuring Pia Maria was announced by ORF as the Austrian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 during the radio show Ö3-Wecker, aired on Ö3.[16] During the promotional pre-parties for Eurovision, Pia Maria received criticism for vocal issues in the live performances of "Halo".The Austrian delegation hired a vocal coach to work with Pia Maria to prepare for the contest, and the backing track for "Halo" was transposed into a lower key for future pre-parties.For the contest, Pia Maria performed the song one key lower in order to attain easier vocal results.[27][28] The Austrian jury consisted of Die Mayerin, Simone, Tina Naderer, Wolfgang Lindner, and Thorsteinn Einarsson.
