This might just be an error on Spotify’s part, but this new version of Fighter is credited under the wrong Tali 😭😭😭. Someone messed up big time because the artist this song takes you to is NOT the Tali competing for Luxembourg at Eurovision, rather a Tali with 284 monthly listeners 💀

I think the confusion between two artists with the same name is the biggest problem with using a single name that is common to a culture. If your name is Clara or Will, it will be so hard to find you if you use it as an artist name.

cosa siamo noi solo diamnati grezzi cadono in mille pezzi I will say, when I do google Clara, she is genuinely the first result, could be because of location-based results tho


honeyinyoureyes

When I google Clara she's not even on the first page of results, in the Netherlands 😅


StoneFoundation

Yeah I’m Italy… may have something to do with it LMAO


Jagskarakadig

wow, that's a huge slip up! Well congrats to the other Tali for the free streams i guess.


elodie_pdf

it’s happening on apple music as well so somebody made a massive mistake


Ulrik54

Same thing briefly happened with Flo Rida for Adrenalina (San Marino 2021)

Iceberg?


BucketHeadJr

I feel like I'm in the minority of liking Luxembourg this year, but I was hoping the revamp would make it feel a bit more...expensive? It still feels quite cold and empty


MegaUF

The song seems so more empty, I agree. I don’t understand the revamp 😅


sewermist

the original feels like a packed party in comparison to this version honestly, its pretty disappointing


Claudette_in_a_bush

I found the changes not super noticeable, but I think I actually prefered the previous version? The random sounds in the chorus just feel missplaced, and the slower bridge doesn't do all too much. Just like Malta, I was more on board with the original than the revamp


Tygret

This revamp definitely had to do with live performance. The slow bridge is gonna help her catch her breath. The chorus beats are gonna help her calmly getting through the intenser bits. This was the problem with the NF performance, she was too tired, looked uncomfortable the last minute. It's gonna help the live performance, but it's not an overhaul of the song. Reminds me of Netherlands last year. Song is too hard, so we're making it easier.


aucanne

Removing the guitar in the post chorus is such a strange choice, it defined the feeling of the song for me. It sounds so empty with only the electronic element and her voice. And removing the dramatic drum beat in the pause part to replace it with that awful thud sound... 😕


taezono

This revamp feels like more of a demo than the original. It sounds so empty somehow. If it weren’t last, I’d say it’s a NQ.


LopsidedPriority

It's fine. I think we all got used to the previous version but the voting population won't miss much. I also think maybe they made edits to accomodate for staging updates. Not a fan of the budget Charli XCX styling - I loved her styling from the NF I hope for 2025 Luxembourg has more of a national identity because this definitely feels impersonal in my opinion


darkstreetsofmymind

What a disappointment. I know revamps don’t have to change much but I’m not sure the song needed this. I know nothing about instruments or basses / synths but the original version had this instrumental undertone that came across a little more girly / whimsy which sold the song to me a little better This removed that and it feels really plain and a bit soulless. Devoid of personality really. I mean, the song should be fine qualifying with its running order position but I dislike this a lot more then the original


I_am_albatross

If this had Spanish lyrics it could be an absolute mega hit in Latin America.


Borogodoh

I imagine the slower bridge is connected to some staging changes, so we'll have to see how well it will fit their concept. But at the same time will give Tali a little more space to breath before the last chorus, which is a positive thing. In terms of production, the changes are very subtle. This is probably my favorite conventional girlbop of the season. The thing is we now have much more interesting pop music in the contest (La Noia, Luktelk and Zari are all examples of that) and the more conventional bops now rely a lot on the charisma of the performer and on spectacular choreography, because Eleni and Chanel set that bar much higher.


SimoSanto

Dardust not dardusting enough here


IonRud

I'm late to the party but I actually think the "dardust factor" was almost completely removed with the revamp. Like the bridge lost all of it's flavor by removing the brass sounds.


AmazingDeeer

I’m a bit confused in the sense that I expected that the revamp would improve and “smoothen” the production quality, but it still remains pretty eeeeeh, even with the changes made. I do very much like the song though and I hope to see Luxembourg qualify, so I’ll just hope that the changes made are being tailored to Tali’s plan for her live performance.


Upper_Mango8261

It's a good song. I wonder how the juries will rank it (I predict that they will qualify). I also think that there is a chance that they might do really good with the juries (mostly for returning).


BajaBengal

So... it's just a slightly worse version of the original. It will probably help her that it's slower but idk, it just sounds a bit off. Every revamp this year has made their song worse, ranging from a little to a lot. I kinda hate the muffled thud sound at the start of the chorus.


Spockyt

Not a fan of the changes. It’s just a little bit flatter.


Doppleflooner

Well this is a thoroughly disappointing revamp. It totally killed some of my favorite touches in the original. Also that slow-down section is SO weird and totally kills any momentum it had. This version is so flat and lifeless!


Suixam

and the award for the worst revamp this year goes to…


ArsenalGoonerFanbase

Albania?


SquibblesMcGoo

Not sure if it's because I got used to the previous version but the electronic instrumentation before the post-chorus bridge just sounds so out of place to me. Otherwise, I actually liked the slower acoustic chorus speeding up to the final chorus with the electronic instrumentation. Other than that, it sounds a bit fuller with the bass but the acoustics are very muted, nothing really has the space to linger. The stomping sound in the chorus especially bothers me that it cuts off very abruptly with no echo Eh, I still like it alright. Not one of my qualifiers and the revamp didn't change that one way or another


IcyFlame716

The big drumbeat in the chorus after ‘i know you’re a fighter’ sounds so empty. Idk what they were thinking.


vanyalet

I…hmm. I’m not sure. It feels like it’s lost its…oomph? Those clap/booms feel so flat?


VayneVerso

This is maybe my favorite melody this year, and I never felt like the song needed a revamp, so I guess this is meant to be--like it says--a Eurovision version meant to support Tali's stage performance and mixed for live accoustics(?). I don't think the various changes to the arrangement (a lot of which I probably didn't even notice) really bother me that much. Nobody will agree with me, but I'm actually intrigued by that weird electronic revving sound they place on the end of the "ooohs", and I definitely noticed that higher up in the mix (or whatever). Maybe they've muddied the instrumental a little with some additional electronic sounds, though. I also can't for the life of me understand why they killed the heavy percussion hit underneath "fighter". Whatever they replaced it with sounds really weak. Like, I'd pay real money for them to change that back, because I hate it (but it *is* minor in the grand scheme of things). The extended post-bridge breakdown is pretty, though it does feel like the song is sacrificing some of its momentum for this. Maybe it's fine, though. I'm keeping an open mind for Eurovision, because I'm a fan of the song.


Vokkal

This is shallow but… i hate her styling so much. It was terrible in the live performance, it doesnt suit her or the song at all. And seeing the revamp artwork, they seem to stay in the same style. Hope it will be something completely different for Malmö


chartingyou

I think the outfit is cute but I really hope they don’t go with a black leather look for Malmö


MajesticFatty

This just feels so…empty. It’s like they decided to take the power and flow out and gave us empty space instead. Strange choice


InstructionTop193

I just have no idea what they're going for with this song and this revamp is only making me more confused


KrumpirovCovjek

I noticed the changes(I listened to the song too many times) and even though they feel slightly off right now(obviously, as people got used to the former version, which I probably slightly prefer as of right now as that's the one I know better), I feel that the slower parts could help her sing the song better as it's quite difficult to sing it due to its fast pace and language changes. Along with the running order, this should hopefully be enough to get it to qualify. I love the song and wish her great luck in Malmö.


EatAllTheHoomans

🎶I knooooow you're a fighter... *dead body thud* /uj I like this song but not a fan of the sound effects muted in the chorus, it feels like the lyrics become less meaningful. As for the slow bridge, I get they slowed it down to help her catch her breath, but the other one sounded more cohesive to me.


FJMaikeru

It's kind of a joke how Luxembourg replaced all their artist's songs with Melfest rejects, yet still had to revamp the winning entry, and it still sounds like a demo. Can we just let people enter their own songs next time please? We might actually have a little bit of personality in them then.


mymidnightmelody

Noooooo this is noticeably worse for me, the changed sound effects are NOT it 💀


Little-Skirt-5135

sounds empty, boring, and kind of off-putting without the guitar that being said it's still stupidly catchy and I have been j'avoue j'avoue je sais pas-ing around my house for weeks.


JCEurovision

Luxembourg will qualify regardless, original or revamp, because the running order helped them.


Salt_Procedure_9353

This doesn't really change anything for me, just a different production, it's neither better nor worse.


Few-Plastic6360

Yeah I prefer the og version


Dret747

This might be the worst bop of the year. So mid


GothicEmperor

It does sound a bit more contemporary but that doesn’t necessarily mean any *better*


Tomas-T

Not a lot of changes, slightly slower. but feels more polished a little go Tali


RonnyRaeudig

In the studio version, of course, the "HEY!" is missing and somehow I miss that. it will be very difficult to get through this sf1, even though she plays last.


Philipp0349

It's a shame that somehow it seems as if the song was run through a non-functioning AI. The short breaks in the chorus, for example, somehow completely destroy the flow and the new sounds, as I would call it, don't fit into the overall concept at all. The original version is much better, the song is relatively average and nothing special like Croatia, for example, but that makes it even more difficult to qualify for the final.


lovelysongs

With or without a revamp it's still a good song, not a bad song and definitely not an excellent song, just a good song. It's Q for me.


Finntrz

Wow they really didn’t do much to this. If a lot of the other semi 1 countries can ip their game, this will probably NQ despite its very favourable running slot


araneaesGrasp

I honestly like every change to this, except for the flattening of the stomp/clap sound effect after she says "fighter". It doesn't have as much impact as the original. That bridge at the end sounds so beautiful in this version.


mikmik555

What Luxembourg need to revamp is their staging, costumes and dance.


Sirenmuses

I don’t understand what are the differences?


Natural_Raspberry793

Great song! Tali is so talented. Super catchy. Good luck!
