Eurovision Song Contest 2023: This is our song for Liverpool

“Our song for Liverpool” is certain: At the ESC preliminary round in Cologne, Lord of the Lost beat the competition with “Blood & Glitter”. This will see the hard rock band on May 13th at the Euro Vision Song Contest 2023 appear.

The jury’s evaluation was relatively unequivocal: While Ikke Hipgold almost always received one point for his song “Lied mitgutes Text”, Will Church took the lead with “Hold On” – closely followed by Anica Russo and René Miller . The audience rating then threw everything up again. The previous favorites ended up in midfield and Ikke Hipgold caught up strongly. However, Lord of the Lost prevailed among the audience and scored the most points – thus the band, which has already toured with Iron Maiden, took the lead.

ESC preliminary decision 2023: “Our song for Liverpool” was chosen

50 percent of the points were awarded by a five-person expert jury from Switzerland, the Netherlands, Finland, Spain, Lithuania, the Ukraine, Austria and Great Britain. They awarded a total of 368 points. The other 50 percent of the points came from the German audience, who were able to vote before the show. The same percentage of points were awarded by phone call, SMS and online voting.

In the morning, the band Frida Gold had to cancel their participation at short notice. The singer Alina Süggeler dropped out due to illness, so the performance could not take place. All votes that had previously been received for Frida Gold in online voting were therefore invalid.

In 2022 Ukraine won the Eurovision Song Contest. Due to the Ukraine war, however, the show cannot take place in the winning country as usual. It was therefore decided that ESC 2023 in Liverpool to let take place.
