Germany: No no never

Germany seems to have lost is touch in the Eurovision in the last couple of year. Shure Max ended up in a respectable 8th place in Istambul, but last year they came last, with that awful song Run & Hide by Garcia.
This year they decided to reduce the numbers of participants in their national final dramatically, only 3 songs but with famous singers performing it: Vicky Leandros (Luxembourg 1967 and ESC winner for the same country in 1972); Thomas Andreas (former Modern Talking) and the “cowboy band” Texas Lightning.
Surprisingly, or maybe not, Texas Lightning won with their country song No no never. I was happy they did because even if I do like ballads, Vicky’s and Thomas songs were so, so, so, so old fashioned.
No no never reminds us a bit of Never ever let you go from Denmark 2001, which is just fine because that was one of my favourite songs of that year. However when I compare the two songs I still prefer the Danish one, its happier and captures my attention all the way.
Texas lightning No no never gets a bit too repetitive in some parts. Still I think Germany has a real chance this year, they are sending a very refreshing entry. The singer has a pleasant voice and a gracious stage presence and those cowboy clothes couldn’t be any better!!!
So my prediction is a top 10 finish for Germany in the final, lets see what happens.

The words and the music of this song were made by Jane Comerford.
Points for the song: 7+ (in 1 to 8, 10 and 12)
And for the video: 1 (in 1 to 5)

Belgium calling… Now this is such a nice and pretty song.
A mix of soft country, some Denmark 2001, a good female singer and a nice melody, and most of all, it gets stuck in your mind.
Also something you don't expect from Germany, and therefore it is goodI give it 17 points in 20.

Welcoming this song in the competition are Rollo & King with their runner-up song Never ever let you go.
