What did some of our team members have to say about their favourite songs from Das Deutsche Finale 2024?
Angus (“Katze”): Fun, quirky, very German. It takes all the strongest elements from Neue Deutsche Well (catchy, silly yet meaningful, rock instrumentation among the synths) while staying modern and distinctly itself. Whether you get the message behind the track or not, this is a great track
Jazzi (“Tears Like Rain”): I will admit now this national final isn’t my favourite of the season, however there are a couple of gems “Tears Like Rain” being one of them. I think this is a cool and quirky indie track, it has quite the anthemic feel, and the chorus is quite memorable. I feel this would be something different compared to what has been selected so far, and I think juries would certainly enjoy this in Eurovision. I think this would save them from last place in Eurovision 2024.
Daniel (“Oh Boy”): Definitely Germany’s best shot to break their poor run of form. This is a very strong song, and if Ryk can match it with his vocals I can see him getting Germany’s best result since 2018 should he win their selection.
Germany’s Eurovision Journey
Germany has been part of Eurovision since the beginning, debuting in 1956. Their debut entries were Walter Andreas Schwarz’s “Im Wartesaal zum großen Glück” and Freddy Quinn’s “So geht das jede Nacht”. Germany has appeared at every Eurovision except for 1996, which means they have been at more Contests than any other country. They have a long history of success in Eurovision, finishing in the top 3 an impressive 13 times. Germany has won the contest twice: Nicole won in 1982 with her song “Ein bißchen Frieden”, taking home 161 points. Their second win came in 2010, when Lena scored 246 points with her song “Satellite”.
Germany’s most recent Eurovision entry was Lord of the Lost with “Blood and Glitter”. As Germany is part of the Big 5, they automatically qualified for the Grand Final. In the Final, the song received 18 points and finished last – 26th – for the second year in a row.
