Germany GERMANY 2023 - Lord of the Lost - Blood and Glitter

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[RainyWoods]

Anica Russo - Once Upon a Dream = 9/10
Will Church - Hold On = 8/10
Lord Of The Lost - Blood & Glitter = 7/10 (I was leaning towards a 6 but I'll be kind for now)
Patty Gurdy - Melodies of Hope = 5/10
René Miller - Concrete Heart = 5/10
Ikke Hüftgold - Lied mit gutem Text = 4/10
Lonely Spring - Misfit = 4/10
Trong - Dare to Be Different = 2/10


Frida Gold was missed tonight The selection was rough without her.

I really like Anica's song but attention needs to be payed to the staging if it wins (the idea is there but the execution needs polish), and unfortunately I wasn't wowed like the first time I experienced the studio version. I don't believe in guilty pleasures but I'm blushing right now at having placed Will Church 2nd here so I guess I've got one. He'd be the most German choice and his result could be anything from bottom 5 to sneaking into the top 10 if the jury take a fancy to him. It's hard to say. Blood and Glitter is fine but this is the year of the bands and wild entries. They'd need a stronger song to stand out at Eurovision. The rest for me are a nein I'm afraid.

No, this time not about Ikke.

WHAT A TECHNICAL SHITSHOW!!! Whoever is responsible for that audio and camera disaster should be punished with 24 hrs Ikke!

[Stargazer]

This is starting to feel like a talk show that occasionally gets interrupted by songs.
