No wonder Aly got furious afterwards.
the problem with the german NF has never been a lack of options and ALWAYS the public choice. for some reason the german public fucking sucks at picking an entry lol. however, it must not go unnoticed that the international jury also gave their 12 to sisters. the national jury was the only one who had any vision this year. international juries are a blemish on every NF and a preposterously terrible idea since always. they need to disappear. then we can talk about ways to make the german public choose better, short of just not giving them options that will obviously not do well in the contest. like, if you enjoy sisters that is fine, but if you ever thought they were going to do well you were just deceiving yourself lol.
actually, i was assuming the eurovision panel of fans consisted of germans (so, national) and william was there just because william, but apparently it was fans from all over europe. regardless, the jury of "experts" was international, obviously (they had a bunch of former eurovision stars), and they were the ones to put sisters first. they suck and must be abolished everywhere. the panel of fans did their job, national or not, and should stay. it's basically the same idea as the demoscopic poll of sanremo, and sanremo is the format everyone should be looking into, what with italy's continued success without even trying that hard.But that wasn't the case. The national jury rated S!sters high while the International *Fan* jury gave Aly Ryan their first place while S!sters was only at 4th
then i was right all along!!!! even better (and also wikipedia is on some bullshit because it says the eurovision panel is meant "to capture the opinion of the european vote" or some such)No, the Fan-Jury consisted only of Germans.
S!sters got pushed by Thomas Schreiber. So do You really think, we would got any other candidate if it got selected internally?Sigh, I have no hopes for Germany. I'm sure Unser Song will feature several amazing female-fronted acts that the fandom will inevitably gush over and the Germans will instead go for whoever it is that appeals to the lowest common denominator. (probably a mediocre woman, or whoever is last in the draw).
Honestly? Just ditch Unser Song and select internally. At the very max use an NF to pick the entrant and THEN internally select the song. Don't rely on the German audience to get it right, they only do so on accident.
