It's my nr 1 at the moment. Totally my thing. And he's cute. Germany is going top 10 again

[@ondrejvesely6378]

Same 😻

[@heyjude2109]

Top 5 for sure!

[@theKarstenR]

Deban: This sounds like scandi pop. Deban: This sounds like 'we have an artist, we need to buy a song.' Deban: loves Tom Leeb and his Swedish song written by Thomas G:son. ;-)

"He looks too young to go into a bar" He's 23. 😅 Aaaand, in Germany you can legally go into bars with 16 but you have to leave at midnight.

[@anderscph2073]

Right, Germany is very liberal in that regard. In the Anglosaxon world they all have this reaction to the video ...

[@AnnRose142]

@@anderscph2073 and some clubs actually have a "Muttizettel" which is a form the parents have to fill and you can even go clubbing.

[@cherrypie6679]

I can tell that you are German because you say "with 16" instead of "at the age of 16".

[@kaischorm8869]

For the first time in years (maybe with the exception of Michael Schulte) most Germans are satisfied with this selection. Unlike last year, the song is strong on iTunes and is being played on the radio. Everything about this song is done highly professional and that's been missing in the German entries for a long time. Finally Germany woke up and brings a production that's being expected from Germany by the other countries. If the staging will be good, this is going to be high up on the left side of the scoreboard. And not only from TVOG 2018 we do know, that Ben can deliver live. He left a great impression with the acoustic version of Violent Thing, which he sang during the presentation show last Thursday. Fun Fact: Alessandro Rütten (aka Sandro), who will be representing Cyprus this year, has also been a (very strong) TVOG 2018 contestant.

[@Idekjustwhatever]

@Rasmus Andersson It's Germany. Apparently negativity is in our blood🤷‍♀️. I mean everyone's denying it now but I remember the negativity that was thrown at Michael Schulte as well

[@robertobhro]

@Rasmus Andersson The overall reaction has been overwhelmingly one of surprise: a positive surprise. You will always find people who are negative for the sake of it, though.

[@Idekjustwhatever]

@Rasmus Andersson I think so too. It's not necessarily my kind of music but at least I can appreciate the effort

[@kaischorm8869]

@Rasmus Andersson A few conservative people, mostly those who voted for Sisters last year or Levina in 2017 don't like this kind of "modern music".... Most people in Germany like the song, but a large number doesn't like the way it was chosen, without a national selection.

[@xraikou8508]

honestly I don't think Germans will EVER be happy with their song, we're just too critical when it comes to our entries

[@shaneodonnell2519]

This is such a great song this should finish in the top 10 eurovision great choice Germany and good luck 🇩🇪🇩🇪

[@lleevv1052]

It's fantastic! There is no but ...

[@johnmoynahan874]

Sorry Deban, i normally agree with you but not this time..... Germany 2020 will SLAY!!! This is fabulous. Great vocals, fantastic melody, and staging potential off the scale...... Boris Milanov is a genius.........this is guaranteed top 10. And in my list it is currently in my top 2, along with Lithuania..... Well done Deutschland and lots of love from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@artynd]

Germany is a bomb. Absolutely phenomenal song. Love it!!! So positive and young mood, vibes, energy. My top 3 at the moment

[@berlindude75]

B-OK is Austro-Bulgarian Borislav Milanov, the composer and producer of the song. Also founder of the Symphonix label. Moreover, the staging for this song in Rotterdam is currently being developed by Czech-American choreographer Marty Kudelka, of Justin Timberlake's Super Bowl Half-Time Show fame.

[@RL-tx1eb]

damn

[@royalecookie8546]

Damn, they really got my attention. As a german I was very unhappy with the way our entry was decided this year. But then again, I'm now seeing many positive reactions from ppl outside of germany and the song is pretty catchy. Really excited for how it will play out live.

[@dudewatcheskpop2022]

As an American, most ppl didn't like Justin Timberlake's Superbowl Halftime performance. Hardcore JT fans loved it but everyone else here was "meh". I'm worried.

[@GLamoRousCooKie]

Justin Timberlake's Halftime Show was a major FLOP. Not something to brag about.

[@caterinasande9841]

Germany! top 10 !

[@catherinefinnie3131]

The best song thus far

[@esc_germany]

William and Deban, best team ever, love this reaction I already sayed it in the premiere but, I'm so proud of my country. I absolutely love our entry

[@AmaanStorm]

I ABSOLUTELY love this. It’s currently my favourite. If you mashed up Sigala’s ‘Sweet Love’ with Daft Punk‘s ‘Get Lucky’, and threw a little Years & Years in there, this would be the outcome!

[@Danae1D]

Can we just take a moment and appriciate your hard work for daily new content? You are a huge part of our Eurovision experience! Thank you for your devotion to the contest after all these years! Lots of love to William, Deban and the whole team from Greece! ❤️❤️

Sorry Deban. I disagree with you on this song. It's amazing, I have even heard it on radio here in Australia a few times.! It's in my top 5 & I am listening to it every day. That's what's great about Eurovision though, we all have our favourite songs and that is allowed. 12 punkte Deutschland!!

[@charlbay509]

LITERALLY!!! the song and his voice at times ... although Benji writes all his own songs and has a slightly stronger voice/ can go deeper . Still a bop tho

[@rapidlightning2841]

Let's be honest here. If this was sang by a female and would be for Cyprus or Greece, Dabans reactions would be so much different. It's feels really odd.

[@arthurmezacasa1021]

I agree. But nobody would handle a song like this to a female bop-singer.

[@JRocketR2007]

Didn't know William is representing Germany this year. Oh wait.

[@brittasmit]

@@JRocketR2007 That would make me as a Dutchie very happy

[@Lealinchen97]

B-OK is the band Ben entered the Slovenian national selection for Eurovision wo ty a few years back. And also: Boris Milanov actually went to the singer because he wanted to work with him and then Eurovision was in the game. Not the other way around ;)

[@berlindude75]

No, that band was called "D Base". "B-OK" is Boris Milanov.

[@christophergrevenerofficial]

Finally ❤️

[@RdRunH1]

As a german I can say considering recent entries like Levina , Sisters or Jamie-Lee which were mediocre songs with no big impact THIS is a step forward in the right direction. Especially in a ballad heavy year lile 2020 this might likely do well. I wouldn't guarantee a top ten finish but I can see this at least finish close behind top 10 (11th, 12th..)

[@leviberg2377]

[@Musimakeup]

i agree with "we needed a song like this". My first reaction was just that it had enough "room" considering what we heard until now. 2 or 3 years ago, t would have gone unnoticed, but this year I feel it's going to do great........ no Luca Hanni for example. he popped into my mind like 4 seconds before you mentioned him in your comments.

One of the better attempts from Germany in recent years, besides Michael Schulte. An upbeat dance track. So far so good, only the high pitch voice of Dolic turns me off in the studio cut!! Lets wait and see how he sounds live on the big stage in Rotterdam??!! Well Done Germany. All the Best

[@deepbluesea8944]

Yaaaaasssssss

[@morph-jh9iy]

It´s a bit plastic but I think in a good and easy way. We need radio friendly songs like this in the competition. Every year only winners with no hits but special effects, drama and/or exaggerated emotions are not the right way if the ESC still wants to have a long future.

[@johnskamanis5349]

Deban, thank you for saying one magical line - your reference to Years & Years has made my day. I was playing this song in my car yesterday and said that I get the same vibe as you and my friend was adamant it sounded nothing like it.

[@greglane8092]

I totally agree with William. I don't like this type of music usually, either, but I LOVE this song. The song fits perfectly with Ben's voice and the production is amazing. A lot of people questioned whether Ben can pull this of live. On the Eurovision Song Contest Germany KZbin page, there is an acoustic version of this song with Ben singing accompanied by just an acoustic guitar. His voice sounds almost exactly like it does in this official video. I was really impressed. I am generally a ballad person, and there are a lot of really good ballads this year, but this song is in my overall Top 5. This is one song I am really going to miss seeing performed on the big Eurovision stage.

I find his voice really grating.

[@riinak7212]

Oh guys hold my beer I have to go to the dance floor!

Europe is not ready for Deutschland's entry. They get used to have ballads and funk pop. This song is somewhat too Swedish but who knows, Germany may snatch its another Top 10 placing. Don't disappoint us, Europe. We're rooting on you, haaaa-neeeeeey! 🐝
