Jan Böhmermann and Olli Schulz moderate for the third time for Austria at the Eurovision Song Contest. This time with: Bullshit bingo, beer and some civil disobedience. Because in the moderation cabin you have hung an LGBTQ+flag. As a small protest, because flags that do not represent their own country are prohibited on stage this year.
As usual, the two fixed and fluffy podcaster led through the evening. Your assessment of the 26 acts here!
1. Norway: Kyle Alessandro – “Lighter”
“Performance like Tekken – the larger the show, the more the respective country issued.”
“The song is about the dead mother. But it doesn’t mean that the song is well composed.”
The concentration quickly decreases when the door of the cabin opens: “Oh, we have beer, Swiss Helles.”
2. Luxembourg: Laura Thorn – “La Poupée Monte Le Son”
“I like much better than Norway – blatant set. The little Luxembourg very big, as Peter Urban would say!”
3. Estonia: Tommy Cash – “Espresso Macchiato”
One of Jan’s favorites: “A name like a nineties-porn producer.”
“Take me!” And the long tie: “Is that a political allusion to Trump?”
“But I don’t see it as an ESC winner either.” – “But do you want to be forced to feel what to feel?”
Despite all the strangeness, Cash has the most original number in the first block, both sum up afterwards.
4. Israel: Yuval Raphael – “New Day Will Rise”
Olli Schulz leaves the cabin to check the atmosphere in the hall – last year there was a boot with Israel’s contribution.
“I don’t hear anything, but it’s not about political statements, but about music. Now, in contrast to the last time, everything is relatively calm. But the song doesn’t pick me up.”
5. Lithuania: Qatarsis – “Tavo Akys”
Jan and Olli had promised not to chat before the second chorus, unless they don’t like the song at all. Here the microphone goes straight back to: “Nick meets Nick from the Backstreet Boys hairstyle.”
“A lot of drama in the game, but I would not say that it triggers something for me. The song begins to annoy me. What does he want now?” – “Yes, I don’t know either, I was too wanted raw.”
6. Spain: Melody – “Esa Diva”
Olli: “My grandpa would say:” This is still a real woman! ‘ Son a little old school.
“It was such a song that you can say: it has been going at the ESC several times.”
7. Ukraine: ZIFERBLAT – “Bird of Pray”
“I thought it would be emotional now and then Son Elvis comes in.”
“Looks like a stubborn version of Bill Kaulitz. The song has no structure for me. Essential. But it is relatively close to a Tokyo Hotel song!”
8. Great Britain: Remember Monday – “What the Hell just happened?”
“They once had a world empire, they had enough in their story.”
“You look like the Skylar Sisters in, Hamilton”. “
9. Austria: JJ – “Wasted Love”
“If we are silent for so long, there is a reason – what a performance!”
“By far the best song so far. Everything about this song has a quality that the other eight songs did not have.”
“Very likely that he wins!”
10. Iceland: Væb – “Róa”
“Are these twins?” – “The first twins, yes!”
“In Iceland you have to choose as a young person: 7 years of military service or the Eurovision Song Contest.”
11. Latvia: TautumeiTas – “Bur Man Laimi”
“Consulting ghosts is still popular. Like Loreen from last year in the sandwichmaker.”
“Latvia has six sleep paralysis demons compete.”
12. Netherlands: Claude – “C’est la vie”
“This bad euro beat!”
“They didn’t have that much money, just three violinists. This is a hybrid, a me quince pas’ and” I will survive “.”
13. Finland: Erika Vikman – “I am coming”
“First of all, thanks to Doro Pesch, who lent her clothes. But somehow I find it cool.” – “I’m too hetero.”
“Yes, for sonen progressive, queer man that’s too hetero.”
“Orgasm is not that cool either.”
“I think you can have a good evening in the pub with them.” – “But that’s not the point here!”
14. Italy: Lucio Corsi – “Volevo Essere Un Duro”
“I like his look! Great!”
“Touch me totally, try nothing with Euro-Beat, remind you a bit of 80s with the parents.”
15. Poland: Justyna Steczkowska – “Gaja”
“The stage design like a huge toilet.” – “Fat rinsing.”
But too many RTL2 and “Game of Thrones” Vibes for Jan: “I knew it was a dragon! Was too flat!”
16. Germany: Abor & Tynna – “Baller”
“Actually, this performance is only one thing: the fate of Stefan Raab.”
“I would treat them to come far, but I don’t see it. I find the two likeable, but I don’t think they will get in the top 20.”
“The poor pigs, when they win, they have to go to a celebrity club with Raab all night.”
17. Greece: Klavdia – “Asteromata”
“A tree burns. That stands for climate change.”
“Glasses like Nana Mouskouri. She is far too young for such great glasses.”
18. Armenia: Parg – “Survivor”
“I would say: this is heterosexual!”
“One in the Blue Sky Community writes: The Armenian is not vaccinated!”
19th Switzerland: Zoë Më – “Voyage”
Jan and Olli no longer listened here – the evening pulls. The generous summary: “Definitely top ten!”
20. Malta: Miriana Conte – “Serving”
“Before that was the song, serving Kant ‘.” Do you have to say that? “
“Kant, you also have to say, was an anti -Semite.”
“Like Joy Fleming when she sang for the Americans.”
“It was too full of the song.
21. Portugal: Napa – “Deslocado”
“The young Wolfgang Lippert!”
“Portugal, very nice country. Only musically they have nothing on the fountain pen. I don’t feel the song.”
22. Denmark: Sissal – “Hallucination”
“It’s like that with the toaster two years ago, Loreen!”
“I don’t think it’s bad. Straight euro beat. But it doesn’t have that much money for the show.”
23. Sweden: Kaj – “Bara Bada Bastu”
“Do you think they are vaccinated? They are definitely not vaccinated, the Swedes had a completely different policy.”
“I don’t find the song so horny. I find it as a country as personable as Germany.”
24. France: Louane – “Maman”
Here it trickles properly from the stage: “Is the ground coffee?”
“I’ll look quickly, there is a hose.”
25. San Marino: Gabry Ponte – “Tutta l’Italia”
“Sido is here! He’s better!”
“Two with mask, sido and cro!”
“San Marino: It’s not that good.”
26. Albania: Shkodra Elektronike – “Zjerm”
“Like Joachim Witt.” – “Is that the count?” – “I don’t jokes about the outside, but how the nose lies on the microphone …”
“We both have big noses, but it looks as if it has to be unscrewed from time to time and checked by the TÜV whether it can still be nose. But we both say no to Bodyshaming!”
In the end, the joy was great among the moderators – because of course they kept their fingers crossed for JJ for Austria.
