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

[ESC United Mod Team]

To be honest even here in he´s a very polarizing figure and many hate/don´t like him and think he´s a narcissistic and unfunny self-promoter.

I don't dislike him, he and his team did some very impressive and also important work. And he can be very influential. But it's also very hit or miss. His last show about men getting hair transplants was just dumb as hell and you could tell he was just coping with his own hair loss and the pressure to get it fixed. And he can suck a d*** for his attitude that men shouldn't feel insecure and just "man up", like fuck off with that sexist crap, Jan.

And I would be interested to know more about the behind the scenes stuff at NDR regarding the national final. They really make so many stupid decisions, wouldn't be that bad to get to know more about it.
But I want something substantial and not bullshit like "it was rigged for the S!sters in 2019 because of the running order!" or something like that. And if results are questioned I want hard facts how they forged the votes and not just "maybe could've would've".

You´re right but that doesn´t change the fact that many don´t like him at all and therefore couldn´t care less about what he thinks about the NF.

Weird take, epic sax guy was a meme for every age group, but how could Ikke become one? That forced boomer humour never managed to appeal to younger audiences, no one would care. And next to the new Eurovision Icon Käärijä he's nothing.

Brits love this sort of thing

Well regarding british humor I am more into Monty Python. I try to look on the bright side of life!

Is that a good thing tho

Let me think about that: Nope!!

BnG was played in the Radio (SWR3 I think) 3 hours ago.

So far I´ve never heard it on Bayern 3.

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

I love this act and song.

I think juries will rank it low (below 17th) and that it will get a strong televote (maybe top 10 with a good running order and staging, 10-15 without)

Is that a good thing tho

Of course not but I love it!

Yep, heard it as well. Bestest radio station after Radio Bob

Wow, long time since the last comment here, so let me chime in. So Ikke is still going with his accusations and (like I already wrote in their thread) wants to take part for San Marino next year (which is wild to me, even he must know that not even San Marino would have him). I wonder what his objective is since he clearly doesn’t have anything to present as evidence, otherwise he would have posted it already. I am not sure what he thinks he is achieving with this - I don’t think he would get more fans out of it? And it clearly isn’t going to make anyone want to watch the ESC more (this is in relation to statements of his in which he said he only took part because he wants the ESC to be great again in Germany bla bla bla). Maybe he has the attitude „If I can’t have it, no one can“ or whatever but I am, while I am very sad that there has to be drama AGAIN, genuinely curious to see what he does next.

Let ikke try San Marino. If he really thinks he‘ll get as close to winning „Una voce per San Marino“ as he got to „Unser Lied für Liverpool“ he‘s dumber than he looks. They wont even consider him for the longlist.

I agree with you but... scandals are usually good for ratings actually.

I´m not, he should just go back where he came from!!

That’s definitely true but I think this might be an exception

I´m not, he should just go back where he came from!!

That’s also a great option!

 

[AndroZeus]

I think Ikke just wants us to be talking about him...

 

[HarryUK]

Ikke for the final interval

Ikke for the final interval

In Danish, "ikke" means "not", and only in that sense do I agree.
