It's weird that I have no urge to doompost about our chances for 2025. The jury-bait approach worked this year and would be, even without Raab, an okayish approach to slowly get on the right track. But now with over 3k submissions and Raab's statements about looking for entertainment value, there's just a good chance that this could turn out well.
It will turn to shit eventually, it has to. We can't have nice things. The german viewers will pick a bad song, won't they?
I love how this thread is like 90 percent just internal discussion betweenusers, just like in the
thread between the
crowd hahaha
Linda Teodosiu also submitted an entry.
She ended up being Top 3 in DSDS back in 2008 (when the show was still relevant), took part in the Romanian national final (2019).
She's got a great voice and she truly can perform very well.
So far, she still didn't have the right material, though.
I'm curious to listen to her new material, though.
I am starting to like her ... my favorite soccer team plays in purple (and white).
Purple hat Linda icon submitted an entry?? Can't believe Germany is winning![]()
FFTS with this song:According to esckompakt, From Fall To Spring and Mitchy & André Katawasi also submitted entries to Raab/NDR.
Great news,really I am fan of themFFTS with this song:
I definitely hope so too!Great news,really I am fan of them
so hoping the making in final list
It's great to see that NDR informs artists if they didn't make the shortlist this time, though.
That's why Germany is simply outstanding for having so many different concepts ... no other ESC country is able to show up with so many ideas! Long live ESC Germany!According to Christina Strobl (ARD), Raab/RTL/ARD won't be working together for 2026 - unless Germany wins this year.
Apparently, "only winning ESC justifies such a collaboration".

I can totally understand that our national final this year might be quite expensive but I'm really, really, really fed up with NDR/ARD changing our format every single year.
Why can't we have our own "Melodi Grand Prix" or "UMK" just for once? - Create a winning formula (viewing figures, relevant/newcomers/established acts, Spotify/radio support) and come up with a title/name for our NF without changing it every single year.
Seems like Tim Bendzko applied!

Yes, just read it at ESCKompakt. I don't like any Bendzko-songs, so I am happy about this info!And it seem he won´t be in the NF, thank god I must say.

Well, he also predicts that SPD will win next month.We´ll most likely won´t have that many "big names" in the NF, even if a certain user at ESC kompakt always predicts that.![]()
