That was pretty horrible.

It's not the kind of song that makes it in the Eurovisions. And that's why I kind of like it.

That wasn't very good either, but you will surely end up way above us .

Oh man! Everything is wrong with that clip! They have an even better change to win last position than we do!

This is Germany's entry.


No video, sadly. But she's alone on the stage, no big show or anything at the casting.

She was pretty hot, and it sounded better produced than most Eurovision songs - but I still had to turn it off after a while.

Ditto on what Hammy said. The biggest issue was that she really wasn't a very good singer (at least in this type of a song and/or in English).

Here's our guy.

No Eurosong material either, IMO. I don't like how he seems to "twist" his voice, as if he wants to aim for the sympathy vote for having a speech impediment. And please, lose the hat.

As far I'm concerned, they all suck very much equally, so I don't pay attention (then again, here I am talking about it... )

My guess is Germany will win this year. And with a much better song than " Ein bißchen Frieden" was in the 1980s. And no, I'm not going to watch the whole thing.

That twist in his voice is indeed weird. It made me wanna stop listening to him, which I did after 30 s or so.

I might come up with a playlist so that I can tolerate the Eurovision.
Trying to get one song I like from each country competing would be a cool thing to do, but I think there'd only be British and German stuff there (probably others too tbh, I'll have to do some snooping).

Watching Eurosong is a bit like visiting the Hall of Oddities at the carnival; sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's weird, sometimes disgusting, and sometimes just plain sad and you wish someone would put them out of their misery.

But it's also addictive and mesmerizing, and you just can't not watch, you know?

Glad you like it, Jelena. We might get some points after all then!

I wish the Eurovision were more like this. Back in '95...

Spoiler:
I can't believe Secret Garden actually was in the contest (and suprise - won)
