He did not "come after Stella". His 'joke' had no connection with her at all really, he only wanted to say bunga bunga, which became kind of a known phrase in Germany through the Berlusconi sex scandal, which he figured would get him a laugh. I doubt anyone in Germany even knows bunga bunga is of African origin, not Italian.

"Of course" not ;)
I'm not gonna close my eyes on obvious things.
I know what Raab used to say previously. I don't really think that he meant Berlusconi.
Who's next after Norway? Will he say something during the live broadcast? ;) What else he doesn't know? :lol: ;)

Now seriously. Being someone who's close with the broadcaster and with the German representative, commenting on other ESC entries on the host broadcaster, on the NF which got international publicity, sure means having some responsibility, no?

Racist, not racist - it can be viewed/attacked/justified in many other ways... depends if you like him or not. Was there a need for him to comment something about other entries on ARD at all?


In any case I'd like Norwegians do not be bothered that much, I'm sure that Stella's entry is liked in Germany and not only there. No matter if he meant something or not.

He talked about Italy participating with "Bunga-Bunga", so of course he talked about Berlusconi. Here is an article about Berlusconi in one of the biggest online newssites in germany: "Berlusconi und das Bunga-bunga".

Raab always makes fun about everything. Sometimes his jokes are bad, but I don't think you should take a comedian too seriously, he certainly won't change.

Does someone want him to change? Why should we care about him at all? xrofl3 :?
I'm more interested in what he says on the host broadcaster.
Anyway, just another screw up from Raab. At least he learnt (I hope) the second meaning of Bunga Bunga :lol:

Dear compatriot... :lol: What are you talking about...?

We are still missing 27 songs and you talking about to win. It's great to be optimistic, but you have to slow down a bit. It's more realistic to say we hope for a top 10. ;)

But first of all we have to reach the final. Don't forget that.. :)

Still you have right that a top 10 place is really good and i,m be very happy if we do that or just go to final is good to:)

But let,s see in may maybe is oslo 2012 or maybe not who see?:D

That's what she says, but she jokes and laughs a lot, so it's not easy to know if she really meant it. :mrgreen:

And these videos that NRK has posted is from after she won. She had a lump in her throat when she had to sing the song over again. She did not expect that from Norway that we would vote her out as the winner. She cried more than she sang

We have heard her sing it better. :)

Oh that explains her voice then :) I'll just have to hear her at her best to fully see what she's capable of doing. I guess, this is a blessing in disguise for her since people will think that her sick voice is all she has, but in fact she can sing better, so there's a surprise and wow factor :)
