Praise, devastating criticism and accusations of wokeness: This is how the Internet reacts to the ESC preliminary decision.

Isaak represents Germany in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest on May 11, 2024 in Malmö. The former street musician performed the song “Always On The Run” on the show “Eurovision Song Contest – The German Final 2024” on February 16th prevail against eight other candidates. Unsurprisingly, there is disagreement about this on the internet.

Many see the decision as positive. “The best song won,” says one Twitter/X user.

Another person takes a rather contrary view, seeing the song as at most a “nice” contribution, but more as a “rippling” contribution.

“Germany simply doesn’t dare enough”

Germany simply doesn’t have enough confidence, another user of the short message platform attests, but also has kind words for Isaak:

One person thinks that the phenomenon of wokeness had something to say here. “Well, maybe the painted nails and the other demeanor from woke limbo didn’t help. “He’s just the more “modern” candidate in terms of appearance,” she writes.
