Lowkey feel like this was an attempted rigging for LYZA that failed at the last moment - and thank god because those vocals were dodgy af. This is a good bop for streaming but I can see it being slaughtered in Basel unfortunately.

Also, first German entry in German since 2007.

Called Raab doing that to Feuerschwanz, he didn't want them and it would have easily won the voting with the metal fanbase that always turn out so well to these things.

That said, Baller WAS my favourite, LOVE it, my favourite German entry for quite some time. I don't really expect it to do much sadly - it's not that jury friendly and it's going to get lost on the televote behind the obvious bait songs. But a nice addition to the final, and it's cool to see Germany sending something German and that actually sounds like stuff in the charts there.

I felt like Moss Kena was 'the chosen one', with the jury comments, but the public just didn't care enough. Lyza's voice crack was awful oops.

Looks like Baller was a bit of a dark horse in the end and not one they probably anticipated winning at the outset!

I didn’t see the jury comments after Lyza but honestly the jury fell over themselves to suck off Moss Kena after his mediocre track

Raab at the end looked unamused. That’s karma for throwing out Cloudy Jane and Feuerschwanz

Both my choices won tonight, that’s this year on the up at least a little bit!

Disgraceful the way they threw out Feuerschwanz before the public got a chance to vote, the German public is clearly straining to send a party metal track and the German delegation is for some killjoy reason dead set against it.

But this is some decent compensation, it's also a quite creative entry for the standards of German entries.

Yeah the whole selection is disgraceful. Terrible at the way it is conducted. The public only having a say in the final part is pathetic. Come on, you're not Slovenia... 😑

This whole thing is a Raab Ego Trip dressed up as a national final

idk i feel like the studio version of this is gonna slap, and i hope it does bc that singer has virtually no stage presence 🫣

The vocals of the live performance that I've seen of this were horrendous but the studio track is a bop.
