The ESC reaches its peak in Liverpool, England. Germany could be spared an embarrassment this time.
At the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) 2023, experts believe Germany can take a place in the middle for the first time in years. The German ESC candidate from 2018, Michael Schulte, told the dpa: “I think Lord Of The Lost will have better chances than our acts of the past few years. I think you have to stand out.”
Schulte had reached fourth place five years ago with the song “You Let Me Walk Alone”. Since then, Germany had always finished last or penultimate. ARD commentator Peter Urban said in a “Gala” interview: “My placement tip for Lord Of The Lost is number 8.” Urban speaks the comments for the last time.
The ESC is going to the final today in Liverpool, England. The Hamburg dark rock group Lord Of The Lost will represent Germany with the song “Blood & Glitter”. “We are very relaxed, are really looking forward to the show and can’t wait,” said singer Chris Harms of the German Press Agency. The motto of the ESC this year is “United by Music”.
According to ESC tradition, the Ukrainians would normally have held this competition as last year’s winners. Great Britain, as the second-placed country last year, takes on this task because Ukraine is not a safe place because of the Russian war of aggression.
