Re: GERMANY 2019
Thinking very much the same way. I have the feeling that the team isn't willing to try something new, to risk something, to send a song that's completely different. Unless they don't give up their radio-friendly attitude, Germany won't be having a winner song again. I am so ready for something risky. Last year I was hoping for Ryk. Loved his voice and song.
Tbh, I think that the why how this procedure has delevoped is very frustrating.
When the new format was introduced, the German broadcaster and everyone involved said that they would like to push artists which are different, unique.. someone who would stand out... that they would be embracing different genres but all we get are young people which are more or less "same-ish". Don't get me wrong, they might be talented and most of them have great voices but there's nothing "thought-provoking" about them... no other genres than radio-friendly pop. Voxxclub was different but both juries did prevent them from getting a decent result and I truly believe that we will never get something more interesting than radio-friendly pop song as long as so many people are involved.
I don't want to sound too pessimistic because we still have to wait and listen to the songs but I don't expect a modern dance track, a rock entry, a German ballad or a jazz-y entry... It will be 2017/2018 reloaded minues Voxxclub.
