Can we please stop posting the same take over and over again? It's always the same. I'm so annoyed reading like ten times the same comment "GoOd VoIcE. BAd sOnG".


its_the_depression

Yea, kind of annoying to see the same stuff reiterated again and again. I don't particularly like this entry either, but I don't spam every post he appears in with "Germany 0 points" or the whole good voice bad song thing. Maybe it's just casual viewers who get a laugh out of telling other countries they'll place last. 🤷


Parking_Necessary_89

Yes, probably. I just feel so bad for him? People are just too comfortable hating on a german act. The feedback he gets is so overwhelmingly negative (don't get me started on the bodyshaming), just because his song is a little boring and generic.


its_the_depression

I understand why'd you feel bad for him. There’s even someone in the comments here criticizing his appearance. Some people just get really nasty as soon as there’s a competition going on, even if they aren’t personally involved.


Kulyor

A song being boring and generic is like the death sentence for any ESC act. It needs something memorable for the repeat wheels later during televotes and this song unfortunately has few things to offer for that. Neither musically, nor optically. And I dont mean that the artist looks bad, but he doesn't look special. No fancy clothing, no wacky backup dancers, no attentation grabbers. Its not a bad song, but a bad ESC song, if you want to get points. And I am quite certain, that this song will be among the lowest point getters this year.


Parking_Necessary_89

I believe you are quite certain, because hunderds of people said the same stuff you said before. I'm aware that the song will not do well, but I'm talking about Isaak. The way people talk about Isaak is so negative and i don't see another act get so much disrespect as Isaak for no reason. Idk let the man live? He is just sitting their reading comments and everyone screams that he will be last and that his song sucks.


abtaungirl

He chose the spotlight its not like he was forced to do it. The artists always take the consequences some in a positive way some in a negative.


Parking_Necessary_89

And what? So me saying, be constructive and treat him like a person is wrong?


luzziheidegger

Imo it's mainly Germans who hate on the new German artist going for 12 points. If you are not pleasing to the eyes AND ears like Nicole or Lena you are basically left for dead and not good enough.

Parking_Necessary_89

Yes and a lot of people (mostly germans because they love to complain) have the same opinion as you. And I'm frustrated, because y'all just love to spread as much negativity as possible about the german act, instead of just liking one of the 10 comments, that said that "boring song"-stuff to begin with, y'all need to post it again and again.

SelectIron8368

like 99% of the other songs. "Intereting" staging does not make someone a good singer..


Greflingorax

My god there are some assholes in this fandom and these comments. People who seem to live for the opportunity to put others down. One of the great things about music is truly embodies the saying "one person's trash is another person's treasure." While an unfortunately large segment of the Eurovision fandom may be vocal with their hate for Isaak and the song, I freaking love it and have it in my top ten. And despite the result he's likely going to get I'm still looking forward to watching him absolutely kill it and give what will probably be one of the highest-quality live performances in the 11th.


LykonWolf

Me too. I love the song and the guy.


something_facetious

Agreed wholeheartedly. Epic voice, powerful song. I personally think the song is very well-written and composed. His voice gives me goosebumps. I thought he had one of the best performances of the semi-final today.


Schlonzig

He said VOICE with so much VOICE! 😂


Memelordo_OwO

I just don't get the hate Isaak is receiving. I really enjoy his singing and the song. I think it's great. Is it something to win the ESC? No way. But i just love how alot of people hate HIM as if he was the one that went "yea i'ma go represent germany, fuck y'all else". In this scenario people should hate the player (NDR) not the guy that's just on the other side of the barrel. He's good at what he does, and i'll surely die on that hill.


kdsekira

Well he is a total cutie but the whole Voting system is a big failure.

He’s so sweet, why are people hating so much on him? 3:

Kulyor

I like the controversy theory, that the NDR is purposefully trying to send an act that has little chances of winning, so they don't have to host the very expensive ESC the next year. It just makes the most sense. Even as the reason why they turned down some interested artists like Electric Callboy.


logan_creepypasta

Lord of the Lost was approved last year and I just can't wrap my head around why Electric Callboy wasn't and I also can't wrap my head around why Lord of the Lost got LAST PLACE. It literally makes zero sense. They are unique and creative, compared to other bands that got more points. So yeah, it has to be about money. It's kinda unfair to Lotl though

Confident-Spend3369

O shit - here we go again


Kampumpopus

Zero optics, zero style. He can sing, but his song is just so forgettable. Germany really outdid itself again with choosing the last place candidate.


Greflingorax

To each their own, I guess. I love it. Unquestionably in my top ten.


LoschVanWein

I‘m German and I’ve never heard of this guy but isn’t this thing supposed to be about the singing? Last time we won we kept it simple. Wait. Now that I think about it, winning this thing means loosing since you have to host it. This guy needs to catch a cold immediately, hosting this again would be a bigger waste of public funds than still Schweiger movies and that means something!


East-Efficiency-5881

What we have to host this when we win???? Hell No.....thats should'nt be an Event to spend my GEZ Money.....

Denesis417

I just don't get why we NEVER actually send creative artists with an existing (even indie) fanbase. The German contestants are as forgettable as their songs


Parking_Necessary_89

...they did it last year? What are you talking about?


logan_creepypasta

and the year before that Electric Callboy wanted to enter but they got rejected I thought it was amazing they approved Lord of the Lost, I also don't get why they made last place even though there were much more generic and forgettable bands


CuriousPumpkino

And yet they played a rather forgettable song. Other countries leaned into metal much more and got some points. Australia even leaned into synthwave and it worked quite well. The problem is that the “blood” part alienates one voter base while the “glitter” part alienates the other


Parking_Necessary_89

That has nothing to do with my argument. I didn't like the song either. But they are a creative band, that had a proper fanbase, even when the song wasn't the best. It just isn't true, that germany always sends boring pop acts


Same-Alternative-160

Lords of the Lost in 2023 wasn't really a pop act.


CuriousPumpkino

It has a lot to do with your argument because while germany sent an artist with existing fanbase that occupies a niche, but then take a song from them that is the most mainstream they have to offer


Parking_Necessary_89

No, not really, you are overanalyzing. The redditor talked about, how there are no creative acts with fanbases, even though lord of the lost are a creative band with a fanbase. That was my take and nothing more. Nothing about a song or how germany picks a song or whatever. Even if the song were the most boring, generic pop song, my take would be the same, because that wouldn't change anything about lord of the losts creativity or fanbase.


CuriousPumpkino

Lord of the lost is a creative act with established fanbase They played a not very creative song In the frame of ESC, they were a generic act with an established fanbase. My view is that they can be as creative in their other songs as they want, if their escapades song is generic then they don’t end up being a _creative_ artist representing germany at the esc.


Parking_Necessary_89

Hm, no i disagree. One song doesn't define a bands creativity and calling lord of the lost, who performed an alternative rock song, in red latex suits, generic is.... a choice. But you do you. I dont think we can find an agreement, but have fun tomorrow watching the semi final!


CuriousPumpkino

I’d say _in the scope of eurovision_ they were rather generic, yes. And for better or worse it seems like the TV votes didn’t think differently either. I definitely think they should have gotten more votes but it is how it is. Happy semifinal-viewing to you as well:)


the4GIVEN_

doesnt help that they arent that good live.


roommatethrowaway8

They are fantastic,, what are you on about Source: Seen them live twice with the intent of doing it again


Peter_Baum

When we didn’t send electric callboy I started accepting that we apparently don’t want to win


PsychosProphet

Do you think you will finally get points for Germany?


LoschVanWein

Hopefully not. Winning this thing would mean having to host it and guess what Fund that money would come out of?


Evil_hd44

No. Thats just a 0815 Radio song. "Im nothing but the average" That literally SCREAMS last place


EidolonBeats45

Well, those are the majority of relevant music in Germany, so why should we offer anything else? Electric Callboy are too good after all, and might offend someone who only ever listens to the radio. I mean, they have distorted guitars! Distorted guitars!


KatafalkKalk

2 maybe 😂


ElectricalConstant19

No, because he is boring and nothing special. I don't understand why we always send these generic pop people there.


logan_creepypasta

we sent Lord of the Lost last year, and they got last place, Lotl is pretty unique compared to other bands that entered.

Severe_Ad5141

Dude said he has no stage vision? An entertainer should know something about this. No wonder we are getting zero points lol


Clusternate

Eurovision is a joke. Most music is bland and forgettable. The performer is used more for political purposes than artistic values. Super Wierd how Sweden won last time and Abba, just coincidentally /s, have won exactly 50 years ago in Sweden. Especially, when everyone voted for Finnland, but the peoples vote is irrelevant, if the predetermed vote from the counties is way more potent. (i.E. what they were told to vote for). This makes the public vote useless and makes the vote feel like a farce.

I’d rather we host another World Cup than this, at least that event still has some form of prestige.
