Eurovision Song Contest 2024: Germany's Disappointing Performance
The Code Wins, Germany Placed Last
The Eurovision Song Contest 2024, organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), concluded with Germany once again finishing in last place. Isaak, who won Das Deutsche Finale 2024, represented Germany with the song "The Code" but failed to impress the jury and televoters.
Nemo Triumphs for Switzerland
In contrast to Germany's disappointing result, Switzerland celebrated its first Eurovision victory since 1956. Nemo, with the captivating song "I Will Be There," won the contest. Sweden secured second place, while Croatia placed third.
Germany's History of Poor Placements
Germany's last top-ten placement was in 2018 with Michael Schulte and his song "You Let Me Walk Alone," which finished fourth. Since then, Germany has struggled in the competition, consistently placing in the bottom half of the scoreboard.
Calls for Change in German Selection Process
Germany's recent poor performances have sparked calls for a change in the country's selection process for the Eurovision Song Contest. Some critics believe that the current national final format does not produce competitive enough entries. Others argue that Germany should focus on sending songs that are more appealing to international audiences.
Conclusion
The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 ended in disappointment for Germany, but the country's poor performance should serve as a wake-up call. With the next contest set to be held in Germany, it is crucial that the selection process is reformed to improve Germany's chances of success.
