Eurovision a strict format? Last I checked Eurovision wasn't just a pop contest, and the whole idea is songs representing their countries... so actually LaBrassBanda would make sense in the Eurovision format...
Now, I wouldn't want them to win with that song, but I do find it sad that people have come to the conclusion that Eurovision somehow is a Anglovsion pop contest... which is actually pretty far from Eurovision's actual concept.
I think you're doing them an injustice. Sure, "Nackert" isn't exactly the greatest song ever, but these guys are really great musicians and they've played shows all over Europe (as well as overseas), including some of the big festivals like Roskilde and Sziget. They probably got a lot of their votes from the indie and rock crowd.
But it's just what I mean.
Eurovision is a strict format because you have to sing upon a recorded music within 3 minutes. In the rehersals singers sing in the same way the same song. Every camera plan is the same and it's a millimeter thing.
It's not like singing in a festival where you can go impro, make fun, do what you want...
That's why professional singers can fail... Just think 3Js, they never watched the camera a single time...
But as a song, I liked Nackert, at least the studio version. I wasn't convinced by their live...
I would be pleased to watch them in a concert in Bayern, drinking bears and so on ! hahahaha
