Yep. Or Pöllaponk. Same message, same colorful look, same outstanding instruments/music genre.
People were hyping this.
In the end it was all in the middle and that‘s okay. 12th in televote / 15th with the juries.
(I believe Jendrik will in no way get a lot less points by juries than Pöllaponk).

Then, I fully agree.
I just don't like it how some users try to eradicate the validation of other people's opinion. I know that I was very vocal about thr level of my hate towards this entry but I've always highlighted my personal opinion and gave reasons for it and now (not you) some say that we don't have a degree in musical education and should actually like something we clearly don't like. This is a forum for Eurovision fans. I'd say that 99.9% of us didn't study music at university and thus, such posts are strange to me. That person has referred back to my comment stating that I don't like how the different genres are mixed in Germany's entry... That it sounds unpolished to me more than once.
Referring back to your post.... PERSONALLY, I think that Azerbaijan, for example, did a very good job. The whole song sounds well-produced and polished. I don't mind the Buddhist chants, the Western pop sounds and the Azerbaijani ethnic instruments whilst singing about Egyptian and Roman people. It is way better executed (in my opinion).
I'm able to read 4 different clefs, play the keyboard/organ and the viola but I can't point my finger stating on certain elements (composition-wise) why I do love Cleopatra but hate LoveWave or I Don't Feel Hate - I'd say it's because I think that the last two songs sound noisy, wild to me. Both singers speak very fast at times, it's almost like they're slurring and mumbling at parts. LoveWave still sounds better executed to me whilst I Don't Feel hate sounds way more amateurish and demo-ish to me.
That said, I know it should sound that way since Jendrik was the one composing and writing that entry. He's not a producer - he's a musical actor/singer-songwriter who usually performs outdoors for smaller events and thus, he isn't a professional. I know thst it generates a charming, fresh and authentic effect but in this special case, I simply don't like it + I hate (most) whistling and this time it's very permanent, also the brasses are too loud and messy to my ears and tap dance is a huge no go as well.
I hope it gives more insight on why someone might hate this entry (yes, I do hate it and think it's the worst German entry I can recall).
It wasn't you (but another member) but I hope it's alright to mention this and make such a lengthy post... But I think that most users on this forum who dislike this entry were quite "nice". We didn't attack Jendrik personally or called him names or bashed him. Actually, I hope he can enjoy Eurovision but it's not my cup of tea st all.
I like it even less than Electro Velvet and I think we have every right to state our opinion without being told "we don't have a musical education/we are not professionals". Sry, but this is not a musical masterpiece either. One doesn't need a degree in music to actually see the alledgley brilliance of this entry xD
Anyway, I am very optimistic about its success (in the televoting) and I'm pleasantly surprised so many people seem to actually adore it! Thank you for liking our entry!

Yes the songs are awful but the moderation is the absolute worst. Fake and patronizing. Horrible.I feel with You.... literally.
I hate this german Schlager...
So feeling this, also watching xD
I can't say much because I barely saw anything but it seems that he is really going in and he's giving his all. And he is definetly not as lost on stage as Ben.I actually liked the performance but wish we had seen more of him. He definitely has more stage charisma than Ben
But he was really out of breath not sure if he can do any of that while singing live.

I don't believe this! In the performance we saw everything besides the performance. The camera was even more hectic than Jendrik himself.
He was really out of breath though. I think he will do less in May. He took advantage of the playback (as he should). It's embarassing how most of them just stand there like old farts. Can't stand that show :'D But Jendrik did what was needed.
Same, he brings lots of energy to the stage... but the camera angels indeed were hilariousI enjoyed the Performance, even with these weird camera angels

I won't be surprised if this ends up 1st, 26th or anything in between... But it sure is gonna be an Event
Was the austrian entry every revealed early enough to be featured in the show? Just wondering
