The fact that Germany could not convince again at the ESC was also an issue at the “ZDF TV Garden” the next day. Moderator Andrea Kiewel did not seem to be surprised by the result.

On Saturday evening, Germany suffered the next setback at the Eurovision Song Contest. Candidate Jendrik Sigwart was not able to convince either the national juries or the audience of millions in front of the TV screens with his good-mood song “I Don’t Feel Hate”, including a flashy, colorful performance.
In the evaluation there were only a meager three points for the German contribution, in the end Jendrik landed on the 25th and penultimate place. Only the UK fared worse.
The point bankruptcy was also a few hours later in the “TV garden.” Why can we no longer ESC? “, The moderator Andrea Kiewel wanted to know on Sunday afternoon from Peter Urban, who had the music event the evening before had commented live for German television.
“I wouldn’t turn up the volume”
In his eyes this had nothing to do with the artist, because he described Jendrik as “very personable and talented”. For Urban it was clearly a matter of the choice of music. “The song didn’t grab Europe, it wasn’t the right one for the competition,” said the 73-year-old with certainty.
Kiwi could only agree with him. “I have two categories: Would I turn up the song while driving my car on the radio and would I sing along and dance to it? ‘I Don’t Feel Hate’ didn’t do both for me,” she blasphemed about the German contribution.
Other ESC participants also got their fat off. “My son’s Waldorf class is dancing there,” commented the moderator on the Icelandic performance with a laugh. The Hype about the bizarre group, who landed in fourth place, she could understand. “Even more weird, even crazier, that’s what we need right now,” explained Kiwi.
Overall, the competition also had a very high musical level, emphasized both moderator and commentator Peter Urban. In your opinion the Italian rock band Moonlight quite rightly won.
