Morten Thomassen has started writing of the 25 songs that took part in the final of the 2022 Eurovision song contest. ESC Covers google translated it to English.
This year there were many who predicted that Germany would end last and they, including myself, were right.
Ever since the thing that the biggest contributors financially to this circus began to have a good part of these countries with this advantage struggled to get good placements.
The advantage of having shown the whole song and its performance in a semi-final has seemed overwhelming.
This year, 3 of the big ones ended up high, while the last two ended up at the very bottom.
Now Malik Harris should have it that he, as previously mentioned, was predicted to end up in the bottom mud in terms of results.
And this has actually become the rule and not the exception for this country, the last 7 times they have participated, the ranking has been 25th place or worse with 4th place in 2018 as an honorable exception.
What was wrong with the song “Rockstars” then you can wonder and I struggle a bit to find a very good answer to it.
Because it is not the case that they send outmoded songs, but it is perhaps more that the songs they send are extremely radio-friendly and perhaps not very TV-friendly.
Exactly the latter one may not say about last year’s song, but this year’s song was definitely that.
A boy in gray dark clothes on a mostly gray and dark stage, you might wonder if they tried to do it badly.
Throw in a performance that seems more assumed intense than really intense and a vocal that was just at the OK level.
And why he messed around on stage among all these instruments, he seemed a little abandoned and lonely, might have helped someone on stage with him.
If this song was to get points, I had expected that it was the jury that would be a little generous, but instead they tricked again and gave zero points.
The poor 6 points this song came equally distributed from two neighboring countries Austria and Switzerland, and that the people of Estonia took pity on this song.
I think that our German friends should try to bring some of their great and experienced artists with them if they are not to remain in the bottom of the mud in this competition.
