GERMANY 2013 - Cascada - Glorious

Big LOL @ Lena's votes!

And why does a country deserve to end up low after a few top 10 finishes?

 

[Thaddeus]

Please come back Raabinator!!!

Wasn't crazy about the song but I have to say I'm surprised this didn't do better. She put in a very strong and energetic performance.

Who would have said Cascada would break Germany's recent habit of getting in top 10?
Officially the most underrated entry of the year.
Her vocals were flawless.
The song was not bad at all.
I don't know what was wrong.

 

[GermanBango]

I'm speachless ...

 

[A-lister]

This was underrated imo... :/

 

[GermanBango]

I guess we need more friends

 

[kloflori]

I guess we need more friends

oh yes
next year will be better I hope

She completely fucked up at the beginning, that was all but it destroyed their chances. Surprised they bombed so far though

 

[Eurovisionified]

There's something spectacular with her, hard to put fingers on, but you can't help but start dancing when you watch her perform. She's a great persona. So what went wrong then? Really good question.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

So sorry Germany! My heart breaks, fantastic performance from Cascada, couldnt have done any more!!!

 

[Magizian]

In a year with so many slow-tempo songs, I'm having a hard time fathoming this. I thought Cascada would easily make the top 10...

 

[Mrm]

Really dunno what happened..have just come back fom Arena and while they performed Arena was on fire..I'm really pissed..now nobody famous will enter ESC..****.. Top 3 is horrible, hate it, so esc friendly and not from reality..

 

[HabaHaba]

The only time when two internationally famous artists honour us by gracing the Eurovision stage, they end up almost at the bottom with horrible results. And people wonder why no one takes Eurovision seriously. I personally think that SVT's organisation was just dreadful this year.. just like their IKEA furniture, it's sh!t and difficult to put together... never trust the Swedes to handle something this big. Sweden you have failed this continent. And Europe.. you have failed this world! I think Arrow should teach them a thing or two...

To be fair, she was dreadful live. She wasn't even in time with the backing track at one point. This had the potential, and it is one of my favourite songs... but tonight, she was painful to listen to. Just speaking the non-biased truth guys.

She OWNED that stage! I didn't find any faults with her performance... maybe a tad high-pitched, but she was flawless in the end!

 

[Sean]

The people saying it was faultless were talking over the beginning

The problem was the beginning, when she was singing ahead of the song. Still, I thought her vocals overall were strong, and the final moments of Glorious ended strongly. I really, really wanted Cascada to do well, but political voting made sure she didn't even reach her goal of 17th - which I think she deserved.

 

[Lugano]

Note to self: never let bookies influence your prediction. I knew this song sucked from the moment I heard it first but I still placed it 7th based on the buzz.

Her performance was absolutely awful, not as bad as Ireland but I still cringed several times.
