Germany GERMANY 2019 - S!sters - Sister

[mauve]

See, I‘m wondering about this almost every NF. „The worst“ to you but are you really the classic one-night-audience? The one, who watches the songs on stage for the very first time on May 18th? No. A lot of people still do. I‘m sure a lot of the German NF voters are the ones who don’t bother about pre-Eurovision but tune in again in May only. We „hardcore Eurovision fans“ have just a completely different style of music taste. We want the special, the never heard before, brilliant staging, cultural influences at best, we want the whole package. The extraordinary.
Most other people don’t want. It‘s not that they want mainstream only. They want the icing on the cake. That special moment that makes the song different from others but it must be easy to get, either visually or musically. Something to remember easily.
Sisters weren’t my favourites either but to me it‘s the only reasonable choice. I hope they keep the turning stage because it‘s something that will be stuck in people‘s head. Also, the constant repeating of „sister“ will help.
Although I liked Lilly and Aly better musicwise I remembered more of „Sister“ after listening to all three for the first time. Sister is much more easy to sing along.
I had the same with Michael last year. Michael was really not my cup of tea but it was the only song I remembered after all the performances.

Agee with you on every point. And reading the latest comments it seems that people - who didn't like Sisters at first much - start to get into it. I said it many times before, but Lilly would have been MY first choice. She delivered, she had a wonderful dancing, choreographic style. But I am not certain if the usual, non-ESC-fan-audience, would have liked it. Sisters can reach a broader audience, I think.

Listening to it again it's quite okay really. Staging reminds me a lot about Isaiah and his turntable and the selfies but more interesting in some ways

One of my favourite youtubers made once again a critical reaction/analysis of the German ESC song this year If you're interested in a musical approach, here you go!

 

[Preuss]

I might be tone deaf but I don't understand why people complain about Aly's vocal performance...? It sounds very similar to the studio version to me - and to be fair I don't think anyone's able to sound exactly 100% like in their studio versions

 

[Preuss]

And I listened to the studio version first a couple of times until I changed to her live performance - no it's very unfortunate that Aly didn't win, would've been 12 points from me

She wasn't out of tune vocally, but I simply missed the emotion and passion. Her performance reminded me too much of a robot, to be honest. Something that made the Sisters far better, even when the song isn't as good as Aly's. But I don't understand why people whine so much about Aly - I am rather sad that Lilly didn't make it. She was way better than Aly.

This might be true hmm - I love the staging but I believe they could've changed the stuff Aly was doing as she was basically doing the same thing over and over - I love it though

Linus's song right on my Spotify list for the summer though

 

[LontraCanadensis]

I listened to this again and...I still hate it lolwhoops. I still can't believe that NDR went so out of their way to try to make this Swiss reject work, the funniest thing being that one of the girls actually did apply with her sister, but they decided to put 2 strangers together instead. It almost makes me want to ironically stan this

Wow Germany gets a lot of hate every year. This song deserves better than the 0 points the majority here gave it. It's currently in my top 5.

 

[Mainshow]

Haven't listend to it yet but I just listend to Lily and Aly's songs and oh my god.... I can't believe that none of those absolutely AMAZING and FLAWLESS entries didn't make it Oo

Either "Sister" has to be really good and catchy or Germany is f*cking deaf.

 

[Realest]

Dont like it. Somethings artificial about it. Downgrade to 3 Points.

... one of the girls actually did apply with her sister, but they decided to put 2 strangers together instead.

Makes total sense because the song isn't really about sisters (by blood) but sisters. A girl's anthem. Girls trying to compete with each other. The lyrics are not overwhelming, I agree. But two strangers definitely make more sense.

To be fair this is true, the song wouldn't make much sense if it was to be sang by two blood sisters. I think most people who say otherwise aren't actually listening beyond the title

Funny, isn‘t it? Check the official youtube video. Almost all newer comment are full of praise. But the Germans still bashing it. I love that song.

I gave it a one, which is the precise amount of points it'll score in Tel Aviv

 

[NicoRobin]

S!sters is a good choice but I think Germany has gone from something with Lilly or Aly. Their selection was very good anyway

 

[FilipeGolias]

This is seriously threatening Italy as my #1. This is just so powerful and emotive, and their harmonies and the chorus are to die for.

I'm glad Germany picked this. If staged right, it could give another good position (not a 4th place, but who knows?).

 

[hijirio]

Harmonious singing is not really my kind of thing. I find it annoying. Even OGN3E.
