Btw: Elton as spokesperson was pure cringe.

I thought he was funny because he knew he was being cringe and lived it to the fullest

Actually it was the first time in many years that I really supported our entry and hoped for a good result.. Sad to see that it made the last place and in the end even got less points than sisters (but well they got zero from televoting)

Germany was done dirty. It's not my genre but I was still captivated. I would have voted if I actually did. I am shocked how badly it did. Even Iceland did better a couple of years ago.

So in the end they covered more entries from other participants than they received points themselves

Oh dear neighbours. What can one say….

To change the subject: I thought the afterparty of all three countries was very good, far better than the countdown which I found a bit stiff and uneasy. Generally I thought it was a very good idea and we should keep this even in times when not all of the DACH is in the final.

I'm gutted, I thought it was a great song and performance, loved their attitudes to the contest and I thought this would be the year Germany's fortunes changed.

I really don't know what Germany should do next year now. Just so sad for LotL.

 

[LMLandLoreenfan]

if you've got a different explanation for our last place behind the idiot song of Croatia or cheap junk food crap like United Kingdom, go on and enlighten me

I've never believed in the "No on likes us" myth but tonight I really believe there could be something behind it.

I totally agree with you and I see ypur point.

 

[LMLandLoreenfan]

Well, "rock music" was simply not popular this year at least in the televote. And maybe LotL were simply coming a few years "to late"??

Australia?

 

[GermanBango]

Australia?

Flopped in the televoting as well.

 

[LMLandLoreenfan]

I send to you a big and warm hug and to all my German friends of this forum, always kind and gentle .
You should not feel tired but only proud.
It's just a stupid song contest, lovely for our hearts, but nothing else.

Thank you my friend ❤

 

[ESC94]

Australia?

Didn´t end up well in the televote either.

 

[gigi_copp3]

So sad for Germany: most undeserved last place ever?

 

[Juliette]

Ouch. I have been certain they would at least be considerably higher in audience votes and that UK would come last (sorry).

 

[ekzuu]

It just didn't stand out... All rock/crazy lover votes went to Finland or Croatia... Finland ate points from Germany, Australia, Slovenia.. Most people vote for only one country - their favourite. Hope it works out better next year. I hope Germany will send a song in German language, it is sad to watch they only sing in English

 

[cegs5]

It wasn't the year for rock, I'm afraid. Sometimes it's also about timing.
I personally like it, but didn't spend any penny on voting for them.
Nevertheless, Germany deserved much better.

This year´s "rock" entries in televoting:

#16, 45 pts
#20, 21 pts
#24, 15 pts
didn´t qualify (#11 in semi 1, 34 pts)
didn´qualify (#12 in semi 1, 10 pts)
( didn´t qualify (#14 in semi 1, 4 pts)
didn´t qualify - (#16 in semi 2, 0 pts)

I think that ate them all up - it was heavy (and even could come across as a novelty act) and was #7 (and had a very memorable performance as well)

I agree with @cegs5 , it seems that - unlike 2021 - rock entries weren´t really desired this year... that´s ok, I guess - even though it´s still very disappointing.

 

[gigi_copp3]

Rock bands ate themselves, it's just that, and Finland ate them all.

@mauve
wie geht es dir?
try to take it easy - i know,this is sometimes very difficult but time will heal what happend yesterday.
---
i've never expected last place again but the ESC-votingsystem is often very harsh - this act was germany best since lovely lena and for me personally also elaiza - i don't care about the result - the lords have delievered and got spanked - so what, lives goes on.


p.s. @german language people - see you hopefully in next weeks at the best ever SCC (second chance contest) from esc-kompakt blog.

 

[harey]

Does anyone know where our Televotes come from?
?

6 from Austria
5 from Finland
4 from Switzerland
2 from Iceland
1 from Czechia

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

They looked so sad even before their televote was read out, and worse after.

I really thought this would do well with televote. Not sure what went wrong.
