So my bf and I were wondering last night: is he gay/bi?

Chris? I am not sure if he is bi, but he has an 11-yrs-old son.

Chris? I am not sure if he is bi, but he has an 11-yrs-old son.

That's why we were wondering actually... knowing how hard it is for same-sex-coupled to adopt a child.

Elton from Schlag den Raab and Schlag den Star will be the spokesperson to read out Germany's 12 points on Saturday.

A few weeks ago I read somewhere that he is married with a woman who is a tattooist!

 

[midnightsun]

Yes, he‘s married to a woman for quite a while who owns a tattoo studio in Hamburg.
But I think he is surely the kind of open person who embraces all kinds of genders, sexualities etc.

 

[midnightsun]

How many cover versions of your own and other ESC songs do you want to do?

Chris: yes

 

[GermanBango]

That’s interesting! Gotta love a dude who is comfortable with his feminine side.

 

[Mainshow]

OMG I´m happy to see someone else than Babsi presenting Germany´s jury pts

 

[midnightsun]

Surprised it’s Elton but I‘m all in for a change.

 

[Storm]

Me too... but then it's Elton of all people?? I really hoped for a former contestant.

Yeah, even though we shouldn't judge people based on their behaviour, my gaydar is completely off with him. The singer of Voyager on the other hand...

Consi Part 2

 

[ESC94]

I would absolutely let him in.

 

[Grinch]

Chris seems like a quite mature and nice person. The way he was talking about his son was cute.

I could honestly see this pull off an Iceland 2019 result (10th) with a possible spot higher or slighty below, depending on the juries.

Blood & Glitter is also hopefully more approachable than Hungary 2018, so at worst I'm predicting somewhere around 15th.

Germany now at #7 in the betting odds for televote!

The momentum is definitely there and I won’t rule out a top 10 televote.
Question is, how will juries respond to the song? I‘m trying to come up with a scenario in which Germany gets any jury points at all and I can’t honestly see a jury that would put it in their top 10 which is a pity! Maybe Finland‘s? I hope I‘m wrong and some country somehow is brave enough to leave some points for them.

I expect less than 10 points from the juries. Imma quit if Germany gets less points from them than Croatia lmao.

Even if we get 0 zero Jury votes, it is great to see us so high in the televoting! To me televoting is more relevant than the Jury vote cause it shows that the wider audience will love it!
