I'm quite disappointed in the result of my entry, because I thought it will do better (like top10), but I guess this generation doesn't enjoy the song as much as older generations do, so that's probably where the result comes from... Thank's to those, who gave some points I guess next time I'm gonna have to try something newer than 80's... Congratulations to the winner! Though I have to be honest with you - you've already proved, that Germany has great music industry and those popular songs can still get wins (5/9 wins you have with world hits). That's all great, but I'd be happier to see Germany winning with something not so well known, like those other 4 wins you had. No offence, but does it give you any satisfaction to win with something you know is gonna win? Yes, they don't win EVERY time, but you know what I mean... Even most of your podiums come from popular songs/artists... You have so much to offer, but you seem to stick to what's surely gonna do well... I would like to see you show us more of the german music industry, something you haven't shown, something you'd find a risky choice... Don't get me wrong - from time to time it's ok to use something better known, but imo not as much as you do... Most of the artists you've used most of us know... I mean surely that's not everything that's good in german music industry... there's gotta be some hidden gems, which you could find... I hope you'll consider it No hard feelings, but there's just no more excitement to see Germany win with yet another well known song... I think I'm not the only one who feels that way... I don't think this is a fair comment considering this is the first "world hit" that has won for Germany since #46... which was 36 editions ago. Neither the Helene Fischer song nor the ones from Krypteria were known outside of the DACH countries and Krypteria aren't even very known in Germany. Most of my entries are clearly not world hits and (unless you consider Eisblumen, Ode an die Freude, Einsamer Hirte, Sonne, Something About Us, Ey Dj, Too Young, Mambo Mambo (I could go on) world hits?). I participate in this contest to share and spread songs that I like and I grew up with many of them, I won't change that just because you'd prefer to see different songs, sorry. I'm not here to prove anything or boast about Germany's "great music industry", like you seem to think I do, I'm here to celebrate music I like and I won't apologize for that. I don't think most people knew the majority of my entries. I agree that most people probably knew What Is Love but I doubt all of them knew the songs I listed above and even if they did, so what? Clearly most people don't have an issue with my entries, otherwise they wouldn't vote them Realistically I didn't even expect different answer from you... I expected that you'll feel somewhat offended... In no way I tried to offend you, but suggest... clearly you didn't take this suggestion very well... and some things you haven't understood the way I mean them... but anyway, I've had my say, so case closed. Was worth a try, because I'm not losing anything by this anyway (if you know, what I mean)... No more point to continue this discussion, because you opinion is clear enough... no hard feelings! EDIT: I mentioned Germany, because you have the most wins, not because I have something against Germany or you...

EDIT: I mentioned Germany, because you have the most wins, not because I have something against Germany or you... I'm not really offended, I just don't understand your point of view. Again, my last victory with a world hit was 36 editions ago, my previous 3 victories were songs that are locally known at best, certainly not internationally known. I don't really find it fair to claim that I only send unoriginal songs in order to do well and don't take risks when, in my opinion, I obviously do take risks and just send songs I enjoy, no matter the result. For example I didn't expect Einsamer Hirte to do well but I sent it anyway. I'm not denying that I send popular songs on occasion but so does every other player from the big countries and I don't think I do it more often than them. The last time I sent internationally known songs, before this edition, were in the editions #74 and #75 and before that I sent a bunch of popular songs before and after #60. The majority of my entries in the last 20 editions were songs that were only known in the German speaking countries and none of them were very big hits in those countries either. To say that I should take more risks, when some of my entries in those 20 editions were christian rock in Latin language, classical music, a pan flute instrumental, hip-hop, heavy metal and mambo, is a little condescending and inaccurate in my opinion

I would say that other great Music Nations be here Part! Only why the others get not a Win means not that those Songs are worser!

Congratulations to the winner, cool song! I can’t understand yet what everyone wants to hear from Ukraine, so I am sending what I like. Maybe I'll find out later.

Well, I envy that discussion. It certainly won't happen to me. I personal like discussions I mean normal clear discuss and not really nonsense! I personal understand points from one site and from the otherside! And it's no secret It gives Countries who have better chances than others! But this is normal! I personly I have no Problems with the Starparade here in Retro! When the most like this Songs, than is that so!
