Germany GERMANY 2022 - Malik Harris - Rockstars

[escYOUnited]

Look where we are
We used to be the rockstars
Who never thought of no harm
'Til this thing we call life stopped gleaming
I wish there was a way to go back dreaming

Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know that we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em

I tried getting rid of the pain
I tried to make it go away, but it probably won't change
Always thinking 'bout my own worries
Remember back when we had no worries?
Now life just ain't hitting the same
I sit and miss and reminisce about innocent old days
When I was afraid of nobody
Now I'm afraid of being a nobody

Don't wanna leave my bed
I'll just stay and never get it together
'Cause the voices in my head
They keep saying it'll never get better

Look where we are
We used to be the rockstars
Who never thought of no harm
'Til this thing we call life stopped gleaming
I wish there was a way to go back dreaming

Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know that we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em

Sometimes I got this kinda sting that's right inside my chest
Its only purpose is convincing me that I'm a mess
And even though it's always been an uninvited guest
It finds a way in nonetheless
Wish I could change my address
And you know
Just be somebody else for a couple of days
Although I'm pretty sure we all feel the same kinda way
'Cause if you think about it
Aren't we all set in a place
Where we look back at better days
And wish they weren't so far away?

I wish that I could just go back and be the way I was
I wish I'd still not give a damn 'bout how I come across
I wish the way I saw myself had never gotten lost
In all the worries, all the thoughts, overthinking all the parts
So exhausted, always caught up inside my doubts and flaws
And I'ma count them all
Somebody catch me, I'm 'bout to fall
Yeah, I'm 'bout to fall
Can we press pause?
Or do a restart
And be who we are?

We used to be the rockstars
Who never thought of no harm
'Til this thing we call life stopped gleaming
I wish there was a way to go back dreaming

Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know that we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em

Didn't we?
(We used to be the rockstars)
Didn't we?
(We used to be the rockstars)
(We used to be the rockstars)

Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know that we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em​

Why does it feel like every other year they have the same judges?

The EBU needs to make the juries more professional.

 

[ESC94]

Come on, once again ****** Barbara Schöneberger as spokesperson??

Seeing Barbara every year is one of my favourite parts of eurovision im not even joking she fills me with such joy

Because you don´t know her, almost all German ESC fans find her very embarrasing.

After her "makeup is just for women" bullshit, questionable outfit choices and general lack of interest for the contest, we just are tired of her.
I want Anke Engelke u_u

Oh yeah.

All other spokespersons look very festive and well dressed but she always wears very weird stuff that looks she has stolen it from a dustbin in front of a brothel.

What´s also highly irritating is that she always said stuff like "xxxx people are here on the Reeperbahn and celebrate, look". When does she realize that NO ONE outside of Hamburg give a s**t about how many people are there??

Because we have the same songs every year… in Eurovision and on the radio. It’s all one big bad tasting chewing gum that stays in your mouth forever and you can’t get rid off because there’s no dustbin near you…

I think our 2021 Jury () was pretty good.

 

[Mainshow]

I think our 2021 Jury () was pretty good.

I fully agree with you - personally, I think that the jury results were really great - they didn´t kill any televoters´ favourites and they voted for Western and Eastern European countries alike - they also voted for progressive, bold entries as well as classy or "contemporary" pop tracks.

I was really pleasantly surprised!

But I also agree with all other posts above. Our jury members are fine (I like Michelle, Felicia Lu and even Max G.) but seeing 4 out of 5 people being linked to Schlager/pop music only doesn´t really look good in terms of diversity, variety.
A producer, composer or professor of (ethno-)musicology would have made the composition of this jury more varied and slightly more professional, imo.

Felicias Top10 are like she mentioned in a Video she deleted in the mean time.

Is she even allowed to be part of the jury if she revealed her favourites before? She also took part in eurojury. Her votes slightly changed there.. Italy got her 12 instead Sweden as well as Austria got 5 from her and Czech Republic 3.

 

[midnightsun]

If course she gives points to Austria since she‘s living there and stated how much she loves Vienna and plans her future career there.

German jury bias has always been there, not only this year. I was pleasantly surprised last year but most of the times our jury is just crap imho.

 

[Realest]

Its not unfair to give Points to tbh.

Not sure if Sido received your memo in 2014

It is unfair because Pia sounds like a dying goat.

 

[midnightsun]

I would like to hit the ROFL smiley but I am afraid of my Austrian fellas…

Calm down, liebe Ösis, ich bin nur neidisch, weil Deutschland keinen beliebten Act hat, den es sich lohnt zu verteidigen… (ganz unironisch)

I knew your the kind of gurl that tortures animals to death

 

[Bmbriga]

Malik singing different ESC-songs along the Ukulele that Stefan plays. And Lauri finally singing well.

I love everything about him. I said I'm going to vote for him and I definitely am.

Philosophers like Socrates said find yourself, think on your feet

goat sharpen your teeth

 

[Jay25]

Felicia is not part of the jury anymore (due to the issues with the already published rankings by her)

Welcome to German eurovision! Don't mind the sparks and flames, they are part of the vibe!
