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​

I hope he doesn't handle it too badly.. considering it's basically a tradition at this point.

He doesn't have any time. His German tour starts today. He has many streamings and airplay. Like first place in iTunes-charts. Malik has no time to be sad.

4 out of 6 televoting points are from Germans voting for themselves

I bet it’s true.

But we will have these two iconic Estonian points forever and nobody can ever take them away from us!

 

[midnightsun]

Which are, by the way, still two more points than poor .

 

[Ezio]

A pity Luxemburg isnt part of Eurovision family anymore. That would be an easy pick up for televoting points. With organized bus tours, cheese and wine.

Poor Switzerland is so rich, they dont need to emigrate. And their Inflation is only at 2.5%

 

[Realest]

His career is over.
Nothing goes anymore.
He wont recover.
He shouldnt even try.

 

[midnightsun]

lol he just started his tour…

But talking about tour… Electric Callboy throwing shade They posted a videoclip from their current tour which has been massive so far, people from all over the world going wild.

They wrote this on Instagram about the videoclip (which was published the morning after the ESC):

"Here is our 'not suitable for radio' song Pump It live in Hannover in front of almost 5000 people. Enjoy. "

Guess EC are TRUE "rockstars"!

 

[Looren]

Am still terribly sad for him, he was in my top 3 of this year and his song is my fave German entry

I hope he'll come back soon for a revenge !

Sounds like mayor butthurt to me but ok.
For all I care let them enter the next NF and hopefully they will fall flat on their faces. If these pricks are supposed to be our great saviors then all I can say is "good night". But who knows maybe they will come up with an actually good song until next year ... maybe ... anything is possible in this day and age.

 

[midnightsun]

Don’t think they‘re butthurt. They are extremely successful, I have seen videos of their tour… no matter if Germany, UK, France, Poland… people are rocking as hell. Eurovision would not make them more successful, but it could have harmed them. I think they just wanted to enjoy such an event and, if successful, bring the ESC joy back to Germany and save our country.
Of course they had to write something like that - I would have been surprised if they didn’t… kinda expected it of them after their rejection video. They are just funny.

 

[GermanBango]

Funny ... yea. Well it`s great then. They don`t need Eurovision and Eurovision does definitely not need them either. Let them have their "super successful" tours. Good for them.
A lot of German Eurovision fans are so desperately hoping for "something different" that they seem to forget that being different is not enough to do well in the contest itself. Nothing else matters if the song is garbage. With that being said the NDR has lots of homework to do ... which they will obviously just ignore as usual.

OMG. Seriously??? What else can we expect from Michelle anyway? The only thing I agree on with her is Georgia!

In the aftershow she said how "dumb" the Norwegian song was, that was the moment I doubted her sanity. Of course you can dislike a song but as a jury member you should be open for all kind of songs and not doing some random votes, like her. It’s always suspicious when people vote so differently from the semi to the final. Of course there are more songs in the final but why would someone rank a song high in the semi and another one low and in the final it’s the other way around?

 

[Deleted member 12761]

Well now that I have taken my chill pill I want to announce that I'm against withdrawing from the contest, lol. If this isn't a wake up call for our broadcaster tho then nothing can help us anymore. I find the medias reaction very interesting. Even our populist Bildzeitung (Germanys Dailymail) hasn't attacked the Contest and instead the NDR and our HOD. In previous years there were a lot of negative comments about Eurovision but this year the media is defending the Contest and is coming for our broadcaster instead. I've also read some good articles about the Contest and them explaining how other countries chose their music acts (Melfest, Sanremo and even Bernidom was mentioned). This is good and I hope the NDR finally listens.

I prefer NFs so I hope we continue having one but with more acts and with a timeless concept. Stop changing it every year. "Unser Song für..." was good and they should've worked with that.

Love Georgia at 1, but the rest shows why we maybe should remove the juries, or maybe give them less than 50% power.

Love Georgia at 1, but the rest shows why we maybe should remove the juries, or maybe give them less than 50% power.

I fail to see why individuals who have just watched the show (and one recap) have to come up with a whole ranking of all entries - something WE - as dedicated fans - need WEEKS for to prepare/practice.

Placing second-to-last after placing it #6 in the semi (especially after that jury member lost higher-ranked entries from that semi) feels super strange - especially since Ochman´s performance was basically the same.
Jury members are simply not able to rank the songs in a professional way. #23 or #11 doesn´t matter to them. They´re feeling pressured for time, they need to have their rankings ready shortly after the recap (That´s what Matt and other accreditated fans said) - I´m pretty sure some of them don´t even really remember how the songs sound like they put in their lower Top 10.

If EBU wants to hold onto the juries, they clearly should ask them to rank their personal Top 10 only.

 

[midnightsun]

Of course we won’t withdraw, I think at the moment (correct me if I‘m wrong, maybe someone has numbers) the ESC is still a win for the ARD, even after subtracting the costs.

 

[Franzilein]

Why are we discussing Michelle's ranking again? That woman shags with her daughter's boyfriend and dresses like a teenager as a 50-year old woman, it's obvious she is a little out of it, to put it mildly
