German Of The Day: Schlusslicht. That means taillight. As in last place. Again.
This has now become a tradition, I guess. It’s very strange. Russia would have received more points. With Putin singing.
This can’t be true! We got the fewest points again! We brought up the rear at the Eurovision Song Contest once again. And that despite the quite striking performance of “Lord of the Lost”.
For Germany, I mean.
German producer Stefan Raab has already developed a so-called Vorentscheid or preliminary decision show to let German Eurovision fans experience up close and personal and far in advance just which German act will fall flat on its face in 2017.
A jury of representatives from the German music business has already been selected that will in turn select one unlucky winner to represent the Federal Republic during the international TV song competition as it is systematically shamed, disgraced and humiliated for the third year running at least.
Versteht nur Stefan Raab den ESC?
I think it’s time they changed the name of this thing to the Eurohallucination Song Contest.
The Eurovision Song Contest, which played to a TV audience of more than 120 million Saturday, was won by bearded Austrian drag queen Conchita Wurst.
Wurst said: “This night is dedicated to everyone who believes in a future of peace and freedom. You know who you are — we are unity and we are unstoppable.”
“Diese Nacht widme ich allen, die an Frieden und Freiheit glauben. Wir sind eine Einheit”, schluchzte Wurst.
