You didn't recognize Max Mutzke as well. He already psrticipates in ESC in 2008 with "Can't wait until tonight" and became 8th. Good ESC times when Stefan Raab produced the ESC entries. I had some hopes when I heard he wanted to participate again, but his song is a disappointment. Boring and lackluster. Too bad that NDR still has the say in who is going to ESC as they use to pick radio-friendly songs thus rejecting Electric Callboy 2 years ago. Man, that would have been a memorable gig.

29:25 I love how you put Max below the song that nobody has heard yet 😂😂😂

I really really hope Germany will go with Ryk! I will vote for him for sure!

As a German I’m rooting for Ryk as well 😊 His song sounds the most authentic to me and I absolutely love his voice. He already proofed in the German pre selection in 2018 that he can sing live. I sadly can already see Max winning because of his popularity but as we have a 50/50 rating by the jury and the public I hope Ryk can win with getting 1st with the Jury and Top 3 of the televote.

Gallant are referencing NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle - New German Wave), an incredibly popular music genre from the early 80s (Nena (and maybe Trio's Da Da Da) being the most famous representative and representing the commercial end of the genre), where there was music in German that wasn't Schlager and had whimsical lyrics and experimented with technology

I was waiting for your reaction and you delivered. Love both the songs you love especially Ryk with "Oh, Boy". Imagine a minimalistic stage, piano, a little bit of light. I really hope we choose wise in Germany.

Thinking about this had me way too invested 😅 I'm thinking dark stage in the beginning, because it starts so slow and mellow, and slowly streams of light are coming in when the music gets more intense, but still keeping it subdued. Like moonlight filtering through cracks at night, since he's singing about laying in bed sleepless. He definitely shouldn't just sit at a piano imo, it needs movement when the song starts getting more "desperate" and tense to underline the emotions. A whole narrative flow that ends with him breaking down or slowly sinking (into sleep, into the ocean he mentions, the river-). Kind of contemporary dance vibes (without all out dancing, I think that's where Gjons choreographer went wrong 😂). The line "You're my lonesome star" could translate beautifully into visuals. Also him being backlit versus his face being illuminated. I think lyrically the song is about his childhood self and how he wants to keep that child-like soul while fighting darkness and depression, making his younger self proud. Maybe I'm projecting. It's making me want to draw just as much as Répondez-moi did, in any case, which is one of my favourite Eurovision songs of all time ♥️

As some people have said, DO NOT PUT DANCERS ON THE STAGE! Let it be simple, just him, maybe a piano. Or maybe just him on a soft spotlight, with fitting elements on the LED, great camera work of closeups and showing the small lights from the audience! Which would work really real this year, with the audience being all around the stage!

Ryk's song is the best chance to bring Germany out of the disasters of the last few years. I'm praying that they create a good stage design for this song so that it doesn't get lost in their live show. Otherwise, the only other acceptable alternative would be Bondine.

Loving your optimism. A big part of the Eurovision experience is learning to deal with disappointment (looking at you, NMGP) 😂 Thanks for rooting for us! The bottom of the barrel's gotta stick together, fingers crossed Ireland will surprise us, choose an interesting song and make a comeback 😁🤞🏼

Hi from Germany :) my top 2 are definitely Ryk and Bodine Monet, I think those two would be the only ones who wouldn't end up in last place..🫠

So excited to find a couple of songs I like in this selection. My favourite above all else is Bodine Monet. It really reminds me so much of 'Only Teardrops' by Emmelie De Forest. It has a beautiful lilting melody, a really pretty vocal and a lovely bouncy melody. Yes it's not groundbreaking, but sometimes you don't have to reinvent the wheel when you know it works well as it is. Ryk is my second placer. Great song which could also do well at Eurovision.

I like Bodine Monet the best. Everything fits together.

Thank you for rooting for Germany, we need it ;P Overall, I got the impression that our broadcaster wants to send jury bait - which isn't a bad move, given we auto-qualify and the semis are televote only. But the issue is, the german music market isn't exactly jury bait compatible - the stronger music we make (Electric Callboy, Grossstadtgeflüster etc) is more televote friendly. We just don't jive with much of the music the ESC juries prefer. So focusing on jury bait means the results are hit and miss and without much diversity. (Only exceptions are Katze & Naiv, which feel a little thrown in so they can pretend we had diversity tbh). The selection is fine overall but nothing too special IMO, with one real gem (Oh Boy), some songs that are fun but not for ESC (Katze, Love on a budget) and some songs that are just weak (Naiv, and Forever strong is a literal crime against music itself tbh). Tears like Rain and Always on the Run are fine for me too, but not as strong as Oh Boy. With a really good staging, I think Oh Boy could actually do pretty well. Like, not win the whole thing well, but maybe a top 5 with juries and top 10 overall. Ryk's voice is lovely and he's a great live singer, so I'm not worried about that... I just really hope they nail the staging. It needs to fit that mix of intimacy and epicness of the song IMO.

I hope Bodine Monet or Ryk really have a chance to win this national final. but I'm very sceptical.

I want to get this out to the ESC bubble and especially to the German ESC bubble: get out there and promote the living daylights out of "Ryk / Oh Boy"! It's basically the ONLY song with a valid chance! And if we really want the obviously musically best and most unusual song to stand out from what promises to become a very Chacha-LOUD ESC this year, please, get out there and get Ryk some traction! Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaase!!!!!!!

Well, you have to take into account that the popular music sphere or radio sphere isn't very open to the unusual. Don't get me wrong, there's tons of very good music on the scene but it's within relatively narrow peer/fandoms. So with the German Final there's like a majority of people chiming into the vote that either belong to the timid middle-of-the-road camp or are even completely disinterested in ESC and its dynamics as a whole and just vote because they're given something to vote. So, as a German, I am UTTERLY nervous for Ryk´s Oh Boy because I could very much seen the Germans being, sorry, too thick for this truly absolute gem of a song and rather trot down the stupid lane for a wellknown name with a weak but unassuming song or have that damn Schlagercrowd going bonkers for Marie Reim an her idiotic circe 1999 rendition of sexkitten in a swingerclub full of socks-in-sandals...

Even the last song gives me vibes that it will be so hyped but at the end will finish in the bottom 5. Out of all songs I liked cat song but mostly because of the German and I agree that it probably won't have a chance.

It's Ryk or bust for Germany....if he sings it flawlessly and it's well staged, it's definitely left hand side of scoreboard potential.

I think it’s all lacking in the wow factor . It’s a shame because Germany has so many amazing artists . Nearly every band I listen to comes from Germany . I really do hope Germany does better this year .

Max Mutzke was a very beloved Eurovision entry back in 2004. He was produced by Stefan Raab, who is a bit of a Eurovision legend (he produced five top 10 placements for Germany as well as being Lena's producer). Most of these songs have strong "will get a couple jury votes but no televotes" energy. I think Ryk would probably get the best result, everyone loves a good emotional male ballad. I really don't trust the German public to vote for him though, wish they would just internally select him haha.

Jestem w szoku ile mają świetnych propozycji😮. Zresztą ostatnie lata też mieli fajne hity, niestety osiągali niesprawiedliwie złe miejsca. Takie jest moje zdanie!

I was a bit disappointed when I first heard Germany's selections and immediately thought they were going to bottom again. While some were nice for everyday listening, I didn't find any of them really competitive on the esc stage. They didn't stand out much and were more or less generic musically and thematically, other than Katze which while experiemntal was way too monotonous. Now that I let them marinate, I understand why people want Ryk's Oh Boy. But while it might be slightly more interesting while remaining accessible, I just don't see it working out/translating live on the ecs stage when in the mix with others even eith a strong performance. Heck in a playlist with vidbur, mgp, and Lithuanian potentials, I unfortunately already found it forgettable. But I will say for the other German potentials at least Isaak has a powerful voice and is great live performer from what I've seen so far, and for a generic song, it still has a catchy chorus/refrain. Or if Leona is able to deliver an emotional and vulnerable performance, even if the song is not groundbreaking, either of their performances might yeild a surprising result. But I agree it would depend heavily on placement and the overall mix of songs. Still there is potential, and that's better than absolutely nothing, even though there are many questions left in the air. (But putting aside the doom and gloom, someone told me Germany were going to change broadcasters going forward so I am excited for whatever is to come for them!🥳)

Change of broadcaster from NDR to MDR will do nothing good. ESC doesn't have so much impact in Germany like in Scandinavia or Australia (just examples). You can see it best at the NF: broadcastet at 22:05 Uhr (10:05 PM), the stage is really small (can not compared with the ESC-Stage) and few money for staging, lightning etc. This will not change if MDR really take over. Best would be if Stefan Raab is involved back again. That were the best years in ESC for Germany including winning in 2010 with Lena

I think unfortunately the German NF is weaker than last year. But not everything is bad. My list would be: 1. Leona -> I really love her song and the intimate and sad feeling in it. But you´re right: This could work on Eurovision, but there a lot of ifs. 2. Bodine Monet -> Good song, fits well with Eurovision, but needs probably a little more impact. 3. Galant -> Nice concept, in my opinion a good base to make something special out of it. 4. Ryk -> Not my kind of song. I couldn't connect to Répondez-moi either. But it could work (especially with the juries). 5. Issak -> Great voice, but a bland, predictibale song. 6. NintiyNine -> Radio pop song, without any impact 7. Max Mutzke -> Good voice, boring and outdated song 8. Marie Reim -> It´s Schlager, your idea about the ninties with this is understandable, Schlager hasn´t developed any further since then. The only selling point of this is the German language. I wish there would be more roughness, more variation, more darkness, just more "grip" in the selection. A metal song, a dance song, something special and unique - there´s a lot of room for improvement. I´m still waiting for a German national final that really blows me away . Last year were two steps in the right direction, this year is unfortunately one step in the wrong direction again. Anyway: Thanks for you great analysis, as always.

Ryk! Oh please Germany, you must send Ryk! So beautiful!! ❤

I feel like for the German national final, NDR chose the six most radio-friendly songs out of their submissions, as well as two average songs in German to give the illusion of musical diversity. I thought "Oh Boy" was the most Eurovision-friendly song here, so I was totally baffled when "Always on the Run" won the national selection instead. I could practically hear Terry Wogan saying, "Were they watching the same show I was?! You just never know with the juries." To me, this national selection proved that the staff at NDR aren't passionate about Eurovision like so many other broadcasters, but they see it as a chore to get out of the way each year. As a half German fan living in the US, I just feel really left out this year because so many others are sending exciting competitive entries and my country just is sending beige radio pop.

Unless the wildcard reality show song is absolutely mindblowing, Oh Boy is a top 10 final-taker. I get goosebumps every time I hear it, it’s WONDERFUL. I’m getting a similar feeling to when I first heard Amar Pelos Dois, it’s a moment. Germany would be completely bonkers not to choose this. I want this in the final SO much

Dreadful! Germany, it's not too late to cancel this national final and just send Grossstadtgeflüster with ICH KÜNDIGE!!! 😅😅😅 Out of these choices, Oh Boy by Ryk is pretty but I feel like it approaches the wow factor line but doesn't cross it.

Yeah this is a pretty easy one: Ryk is the one that stands out the most and gives us something that sounds special, authentic and interesting. The rest... doesn't. Bodine is OK I guess, Leona has some quality but tbh Elsie Bay has a better song in the Luxembourg NF. Overall most songs just feel very generic, unexciting and amateurish. So strange that Max Mutzke had a great song back in 2004, and now he has this totally forgettable one. Marie Reim has about the cheapest piece of Schlager that I've ever heard. Ryk definitely has the most potential here to do well for Germany.

And not everyone speaks German well enough to understand its humor and not everyone is looking up the lyrics (+as it's mostly the case with funny lyrics, something might get lost in translation).😊

Ryk must win. Everybody else would be another last place for Germany.

Mein Favorit ist Isaak

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Deutschland, Du hattest die Chance, in die Top 5 zu kommen, aber dann hast du dich für diesen Song entschieden?? schade RYK

Sorry, but sadly this is a total snooze fest. 😴 No redemption here unless someone can work miracles with a complete glow up ala Poland last year?

Honestly this years selection is so bad so that I hope that we get zero points again just to get something different next year again. Doesn't mean I hate all songs but overall it is just boring soup.
