Well, they are, as a matter of fact, children. And I think for the people in charge of the German entry keeping it this way plays a bigger role than actually trying to win the contest. Other countries might have higher aspirations.

Best of luck to ISAAK. I like the staging and his powerful singing. The selected song is not exactly my musical taste, but you have to admit his performance is better than most of the acts Germany sent in the recent years and it's authentic and fitting as the song is written by himself. I...

Nemo's sheer talent is amazing and intimidating. I also love the energy, lyrics and rythm of the song itself. Overall, it reminds me of the Matrix movies. Very cool. And I'm looking forward to the casting show contestants trying to deliver this song. Good luck with that and especially good luck...

Well, @Mainshow, it's mine. :D I have been posting on the german site ESCkompakt for some years now. I had to change the name a few times though over the years (there was another Mark for example), but now I use the same user name there. I think this thread might be in dire need of some positive...

Hehe. You know, it's still in the early stages of selecting the most appealing entry, we don't know all the songs and the wildcard competition hasn't even started yet. And people already seem to resign or post negative comments under the songs they dislike for the artists to read. I think we...

Hello everybody! Glad to join this wonderful forum. About Grossstadtgeflüster: It is quite a disappointment for some, but they never intended to participate or represent our country anyway, so that's that. Nevertheless we will have some decent entries in our NF and it would be a shame not to...
