Germany GERMANY 2018 - Michael Schulte - You Let Me Walk Alone

[Lenny1993]

won't place higher than 8th or 9th. The entry seems quite decent, but compared with and 5 other songs, it won't truly stand out.

Did you see his staging? He'll naturally stand out because of the use of the LED. Even though I agree that I can't see a Top5 finish. That would be a miracle. Even Top10 would be amazing for us fans. But nevertheless: Cascada in 2013 was constantly in the Top10 of the odds and where did she finish? Right, 21st. I think it's great that bookies and fans are believing in Michael but we need to stay realistic. Everything in the Top5 would be great and a huge step in the right direction.

People lets face it. Michael flops Completely in the Youtubeklicks and ESCTracker at the Moment. The NDR put lots of Money on Michael to make him look like a Favourite he has never been. Not that I wouldnt mind a good Result, but lets not make us too hgh Hopes.

 

[Storm]

NDR is not spending money for betting lol.

Nevertheless, he is overranked right now. But Top 10 is possible. The other songs aren't that strong

 

[midnightsun]

... but no way it's going to get as high as 4th

I agree, it's rather improbable but not impossible. This year is so hard to predict, every song can be anything!

To quote Saade:

"Stop, don't say that it's impossible
cause I know it's possible!"

 

[Storm]

Now its going down again

Such a Rollercoaster

There always has been "quiet" entries however. Norway 2014 for example, came in eighth, but his final performance hasn't even reached a million views after four years Don't think that Youtube clicks are (always) a good measure.

Norway was 16th in the Televoting, so I think the Klicks werent too faraway from Reality.

So what? Displaying lyrics on a projection screen isn't the best way to convey an entry's inner message.

Shoot, you're right, I remembered it the other way round. Oh well, I would take that 16th place any day however. Talking about low expectations

It's more than that. Anyways, I'm just happy to have quite a different feeling than the previous years.

Can you explain your state of mind here? Indeed, I'd be satisfied if managed to end up higher than it did over the past few years.

I think the staging really tells a story. It builds up and is more than just projecting lyrics on the screen. It's intimate and then it's building and building. When I saw the performance yesterday, I had goosebumps all over and tears in my eyes. I think a lot of people will connect with his story. I'm not saying that he is a save Top10 contender but I think he will finish way better than our last entries. And let's be honest: Even 15th would be a huge improvement. But as of now I can totally see him going Top10 as well - it just depends on how he can connect to the audience and vice versa. Also, I really think that his performance is one of the most sophisticated ones. It's well thought out and still carries emotion. I personally think that it really stands out compared to the other songs. Another fact why I think this will place quite high

 

[Dorientje]

I think I will vote for him on Saturday or France.
I do not know yet

Do one each

 

[Kicker]

Just wachted the whole performance for the first time... This is incredible and without a doubt the best German staging of the last decade. Really, I never thought NDR would be able to pull off something like this. This is is definitely going to stand out and will find it's people who are going to love it and therefore vote for it.

 

[ChrisOL]

I hope he will have a great performance tonight and hopefully he will stick to the new version of the second verse (I mean the ending). This change really got me

 

[mauve]

I also think that the LED screen made the song stronger. Compared to the NF performance, he improved so much. Got goosebumps too when I saw the Video. And I actually think people will connect to the song. But as many said, I will be happy when we are around 15. And to be honest, when I look at a bland song like Cyprus, I also think that Germany's entry is better and shoots straight at your heart.

 

[GermanBango]

It's NOT a LED screen - It's just a projection

 

[mauve]

Gosh, I really wrote LED ... where was my head? I was just listening to AWS, so maybe that was it.
