I will say this for the song: I think a good result is not out of the question. I think it's entirely possible that this gets a really, really big televote haul from the very youngest viewers and gets carried to a solid score, particularly from the parts of the continent where Eurovision airs earlier in the evening.
I'll try not to let my harebrained scheme for how this could do well if everything falls perfectly into place get in the way of the one positive I have for this, which is that Germany deserve some props for the courage to send something so thoroughly destined for a flop.

Depends entirely on the stage show, which: wat. on. earth. @ having the Lithuanian choreographer, the one who appears on stage with the Roop and in their postcard do the staging. Yeah there's absolutely zero collusion there at all, completely SAFE to put everything in the hands of a person who benefits directly from torpedo'ing your chances.
Placementwise, I am vibing a good result with the audience and a merely so-so result with juries. So... between 6th and 15th, is my guess.

Jendrik said, it's not the victory that is important to him but spreading the messages. Of course. That's exactly what I would have expected.
So, apart from him or the song, the fact that makes me happy the most is that Germany doesn't take itself too seriously with a bland song, doesn't aim for victory but rather takes the chance in pandemic times that are awful for everybody to support an important message.
In a time where everyone is frustrated and sad it's the most clever move they could do. We know we won't probably win anyway no matter which song so why waste an important possibility to reach millions of viewers.
I get why people don't like the song musicwise. I'm not a friend of the ukulele either and if this song was sung by an ordinary man with lyrics that were about love or break-up or whatever lyrics are mostly about, I would definitely not hype the song as much.
But the whole package is great in so many ways. I also love the Stefan Raab moments in between from happy pop to rock. There's some energy that clicks with me.

ESC-Barometer 2021 (3): Deutscher Vertreter Jendrik punktet mit Polarisierung - ESC kompakt
Nur etwas mehr als 24 Stunden sind seit dem letzten ESC Barometer vergangen. Aber natürlich wollen wir Euch auch in diesem Jahr sofort eine Einordnung geben, wo sich denn der deutsche Beitrag für d…

I think this site is quite interesting:
The song alone is at the 3th place from the bottom, along with the video though on the 5th place of the top.
There are categories like stunning (3rd place behind Lithuania and France), polarizing character (2nd). Putting everything together, he lands on the 7th place.
That's what you call polarizing!19x
Although I do hate this entry, I have to admit that it's already iconic!!

Indeed and to be honest, I'm really happy about this fact. This is so much better than submitting entries which are solid but very forgettable.That's what you call polarizing!
I mean, I still hate it and I think that my feelings concerning this piece are justified but I'm really looking forward to seeing it in May now. Poliarising entries are so much better since one can be sure that they still have a few fans voting for it. Germany is very memorable this time and that's a huge advantage. I still wish it would have been with an entry I can fully support, though.
Btw, I saw a Screenshot last night in which someone texted Jendrik personally, calling him a faggot and that his song sucks and he shouldn't compete in Eurovision... This is such a low move. Disgusting and unacceptable.
It's okay to dislike/hate songs but attacking artists like that is just vile, horrible and disgusting. I felt so bad for Jendrik when I saw that message. He doesn't deserve that level of hate since he's a very likeable, charming, respectful guy.
I really like the way he answered. I can fully understand people not liking the song at all. Funny entries are not everybody's thing. And I can also see that people think that this song is messy with too many elements being put together. I love it for that actually. It sounds surreal, provocative and just wonderful to me. I doubt he will recive many Jury points (if any then maybe for the message, not the song itself), but I can see him receiving some televote points. The song is daring and it's better than sending a song you soon forget.That's the thing I saw on FB - a horrible message but Jendrik's reply was a good one!

What`s with the obsession over that Ben guy though? I really don`t get it. Just another basic straight white boi without personality and a song he had zero connection to.
People are just wild man. Harassing an artist because you don`t like their work is just pathetic af.
