That wasn't hard >.>

I haven't watched the German national pre-selections but I don't even want to imagine how bad the other choices must have been to let people vote out of despair for THAT.

I liked germany's entry. ._. It was catchy xD. It should have done better i thought, that, Israels and finlands. But france's...oh god, i thought there's was hopeless. God knows how they got into the top ten.

France's entry is at least... french. The sound reminds me on older french romance movies and she sings in her native language, something that is missing in the modern contest all to often.

I think that every country should represent it's musical characteristics, preferable in it's own language (come on, with today's technique they could easily subtitle the stuff live on TV) and not try to get votes by being appealing to the international mainstream.

The contest was interesting years ago when you had the cultural influence in the songs but now the choices ain't any different from the lower middle of the media control charts. The German entry wasn't even sung by a German artist to begin with. That guy isn't known at all over here. To top it, the applicants for the German pre-selection had to be members of the GEMA which excludes all artists in contract with alternative labels as well as standalone artists by default.

The songs were better this year though regardless of if some of them weren't sung in the native language. In the past couple of years, you had some outrageous songs getting a lot of votes, it was all political, neighbours voting high for each other, but at least this time, you had the good songs getting the high votes.
