I think it's pretty obvious that it wouldn't be allowed at the ESC, basically the whole chorus is sampled :lol: And not even the instrumentation differs that much from the original, it's almost the same genre. Chances are very slim.

The CD booklet lists Florian Jahrstorfer and Martin Semma as composers while there is no mention of a traditional. Their antecedent album, however, features a track that is in full a rehaul of an old folk song – it was denoted accordingly. Furthermore the EBU did not object to Die Priester's NF entry in 2013, a medieval hymn. Generally they have a loose way of dealing with their own rules in order to not alienate someone.

Re: GERMANY 2018

I like the two hosts, Elton might be the funny part and Linda doing the serious part of the show, maybe a bit like Stefan/Anke and Judith in Düsseldorf 2011. So a good mixture imo :-)

May very well be, I also had to dig quite a bit to find this rule, haha. But it's such a well known song, especially in the alpine region (Bayern Munich even used it as their goal tune once :lol:), I think there would be quite an uproar if "Donnawedda" was allowed. And to be fair, I would love to avoid such discussions, last year we had the "Perfect Life" = "Titanium" debate, 2013 "Glorious" was considered a mix between "Euphoria" and "Don't You Worry Child"... and sampling is even more than just a "similar melody", it is the exact same.

Re: GERMANY 2018

So the songwriter camp just started and NDR has revealed the 15 composers and songwriters. Definitely a nice bunch, but it doesnt matter how many hits and stuff they already wrote, they have to come up with six great ESC Songs or adapt the singers songs to that! Definitely excited to see what that all brings. :lol:

I hate what Schreiber just said: "Ursprünglich ist der ESC ein Komponisten-Wettbewerb - daran knüpfen wir an." - "Originally the ESC is a competition of composers - we'll built on that."

.. yeah you tried that last year and that did succeed didnt it? xfacepalm

Re: GERMANY 2018

Personally, I don't really like this idea that there should be a time and a place to write a song with Eurovision in mind because it very often produces nothing out of the ordinary.

Some of the representatives picked do have potential to shine, but like Spain this year, I'm afraid the songs won't live up to their talent and showcase their assets properly.

Indeed, the songwriters will have to work hard because the songs are the base of a Eurovision success. No matter how perfectly one sings, if the entry is blah, it won't go anywhere.

Ryk could really crash the party with a good song. Or it could be a Fahrenhaidt case all over again.

And please not again a former The Voice candidate...

Ngl, I did just spend a few moments wondering who this Lissabon person was, before realising it is actually Lisbon and not a person.
