There was definitely an effort made with this and I appreciate that, they haven't gone the obvious route either. It has a distinct, memorable, enjoyable, summery sound and I really like the pre-chorus, the such a violent thing part is also really memorable. I wasn't exactly sold on it the first listen, but it's honestly growing on me steadily and sneaking towards my top 5. Such an all-round solid entry that has radio hit potential.
Seems like someone got inspired by their southern neighbour 
's progress last year, and opted for a bop to achieve success for once.
I'm not used to rooting for Germany, what am I supposed to do? Last time was in 2013. It feels weird after all.
Btw, Eurovision must be the only platform on earth where Germany resorts to importing something from Bulgaria after constantly failing at something. Gotta stan the contest

I am not worried about his vocals. I am more worried about his stage presence. If he's going to be like Roxen ala Cherry Red during her 'live' performance then this entry is doomed. LOL.
Tbh i’m personally worried about an Eliot
scenario here, which would be a catastrophe considering the potential of the song

An enjoyable bop and certainly something we all needed, so I'm giving this points.
That being said, I'm definitely Team Not-as-good-as-Dance-You-Off (as long as we aren't counting the live ESC performance.)

That's very true also. Eliot was let down by the horrendous staging.
True. All I know is that Marty Kudelka will be doing the choreo who worked for the Superbowl halftime show in 2018. Or with Timberlake. Whatever that means. I hope he does the right thing.

Do we know if Ben can dance?
I hope he can. This song does require dancing.

"Dont tell your mama what youre doing tonight." I don't think this refers to cooking pierogi or bigos. It is about something naughtier. (Although eating bigos at nighttime is naughty too)Is it just me or is this song about the desire ... to get laid?
I LOVE pierogis! I have a great shop around my corner that sell these. Just ate one last week.
Just as good as the song.

He was on a German radio show today and he said there will be a lot of dancing but he probably wont do much dancing himself... I'm expecting Blanche-like hand movements
Could be worse, could be like Roxen ala Cherry Red and her non-existent Rakata dance moves.

Wellll we're gonna see..He was on a German radio show today and he said there will be a lot of dancing but he probably wont do much dancing himself... I'm expecting Blanche-like hand movements

And now I realised that this negative post was my 100th post...Aw we shouldn't produce horror scenarios just because Ben said that he won't dance so much. Let's have a little faith.

I gave points and was shocked by high average points score in poll.
