I personally wanted Lilly to win. Her song stood out and was so special, I would have been hapoy with Makeda or Aly Ryan as well. In Germany it seems (in all casting shows) that whoever performs last, wins. I observed that with many different shows and I've always been right so far. I personally think that Sisters only won because they performed last, maybe we're just jinxed

[@Nutzername92a]

That's true. And many tv shows even do this on purpose. The keep the best for last, to keep the viewers interested until the end. So it's quite possible that the average German viewer was subconsciously influenced by that. (And also the audience in the studio needs to get warm first. During the first performances, they barely clap... And towards the end everyone gets standing ovations...)

[@Kinga1520]

Lilly song was my favorite too ❤

[@ivantan42]

The NDR wanted them to win, Lily and Aly would bring Germany into the top 10!!!!

[@xXIkeOo]

You hit the nail on the head - Aly’s song is a fan favourite but would not make it in the mainstream à la “je ne sais quoi”, “glorious” etc. I love Germany’s song. For me the shoutiness comes across as passion, anger at themselves, urgency. I agree that they look like 2 wolves stalking each other about to fight but this ties into the theme of the song. This was my number 4-5 of the German selection before and even when it won I was pissed, but since then I’ve relistened and it’s in my top 3 this year (now that Maruv is gone 😭)

[@kachu1736]

Germany is my favorites! 🇩🇪💕🇵🇱

[@erkanb7068]

Sister will become 15th - 20th. Lilly Amoung Cloud had a top5 potential. The winner was designed by Germany‘s broadcaster NDR. I mean, who wonders, why sister and makeda were leading in the international jury , when you put there certain people? Obviously the Austrian and Czech members have a preference for ballads, as you can see from their votes. Then, why is there even a German in that jury, who on top of all happens to be friend with one of the sisters? At Eurovision we never vote for our own country. Should be the same with that jury. Finally putting the show on a Friday... when only middle age and older people watch and call... gives an answer, why sister also won there. Young people went out, that is what they usually do on Friday and Saturday. So also by that, the broadcaster made sure that their favorite act sister will have an advantage. I mean... seven songs, and the worst of all, totally dated won? Oh please! Even Switzerland was smart enough to reject this song... By the way,.. I would actually change the rules of Eurovision: only one song per songwriter allowed to send, and not three for three different countries.

[@xraikou8508]

I actually liked sisters best, I don't think you can say everyone hated it

[@erkanb7068]

I didn’t say that everyone hated it. I explained why and how it was moderated to a victory.

[@escfan2706]

The song is actually really good and the second chorus is so powerful! I preferred Lilly and Aly but Lilly’s vocals were not good. Aly was robbed but I kinda expected it tbh

[@escvegi2076]

It is a grower typically downranked by the fandom, but this Song will be a Jury favorite and may the Mainstream Listeners will love it.

[@srdjangavrilovic3232]

Makeda was the clear winner for me with Aly being my second!!! S!sters are still a decent winner,they can come either bottom 5 or suprise and come in top 10

[@Wiwibloggs]

Srdjan Gavrilović Makeda’s voice was so on-point!

[@dotmatrixgamer]

I feel like the only one that actually has S!sters as his favourite up until now. I got the message on my first hearing (which a lot of people don't) and feel like it's one of the songs with substance. Though vocally imperfect, they sounded better than Aly. I also have no idea what is meant by 'electric field'. Those parts sound and look good. (And i mean, yes, the fact that their back was shown more so than the front is a bit distracting)

[@swanpride]

You are not the only one. I love everything about it. I love the text, which works on three level, I love the staging, especially how the rotating stage reflects the music box melody in the background, I love how it builds…there is still room for improvement, but it was exactly this "we are kind of far away and fighting but we will always circle each other, always belong to each other" which spoke to me.

[@airellrm4449]

While it's not in my 'amazing' category, I still think that Sister is an great song, and I actually find the lyrics and staging concept well done (displaying how sisterly relationship is with a spinning table) Yes, the vocals are kinda shouty (please, The Dream by Roko currently is the shoutiest of all until that gets changed), but I think that is something they'll easily fix :D

[@knutolavhalseth6761]

I agree with you, I loved "Sister" instantly and I loved how they performed. I saw the whole show and for me this was the song that stood out.

[@xraikou8508]

I think they were best as well. I like catchy songs with a decent meaning, which was my struggle with Aly. I think you might like her song after listening to it a few times but it still i's just not my thing

[@M2003ESC]

I actually disagree with you guys on this, loved S!sters live at the show and I really love the song I loved Wear Your Love too but I think it was slightly weaker than Sister live, either way Germany gave us an amazing national selection and a really good show and I hope S!sters can surprise in Tel Aviv

[@elizabethingermann5911]

People are saying it shouldn't be a duel, but I thought it was intentional? Like it's about sister who have been fighting their whole lives, realizing that they should reconcile. That doesn't come easy. Of course there is gonna be hesitation and difficulty lowering their walls. Being unified from the beginning would not have fit the song at all.

[@tielphinstone3556]

As a german Im not proud of that sh**. Makeda, Aly Ryan and Lilly had better songs and performamces. Can you really call in coincedence that NDR chose Sisters a few months before the national selection, let them perform last and they "get" 12 points from the televote even though Makeda, Lilly and Aly were far better???

And it would help to not just throw a random song into the finals just because it was produced last minute by some "professionals" (cough cough), completely ignoring the selection process, giving them the best starting position and so on... This year was just horrendous and it was completely unfair for the other contestants

Yup, though this isn't 'amazing' on my category, it's still a great song and I actually find the staging resonates with the song.

[@Babyboy0404]

Daban said something interesting. The whole package is kind of divisive. This means either you love or you hate it. But all what counts is the lovers because they make the call or up to 20 calls....

Willi Kari exactly. Love is what matters at Eurovision, not hate, as you don’t vote against a song.

[@metalvisionsongcontest7055]

2.99 million people may have watched the German national final, but only around 300,000 people or so voted. My favourite was Makeda, too, btw :) . But somehow, Germany never dares to send the musical divas, even though we know these ladies usually end up on good places (Jade Ewen, Yohanna, Dami Im, Sanna Nielssen, Zlata Ognevich...)

[@Wiwibloggs]

Metalvision Song Contest That’s a strong list of ladies 😻

[@nilerra8181]

A matter of taste. I'm not German and I usually don't like musical divas either. Jade was the only one to be really loved by German audience here. Sanna or Zlata didn't even make their Top 10 if I remember right 😅

[@metalvisionsongcontest7055]

@@nilerra8181 I know - which is exactly the problem. Because in Eurovision as a whole, these "diva" acts placed well, showing that the German audience as a whole lacks the feeling of what is going to lead to a good place. Notably, it's a "look at me, here I am!" attitude that creates the willingness to attract viewer attention. However, such an attitude requires a healthy amount of narcissism, which is very untypical of Germans. There's always a case to be made for the audience of a country "voting with their heart" and simply sending what the majority likes best. However, don't complain about the bad result if your national taste doesn't line up with the rest of Europe. There are other countries who have had to make the same experience repeatedly, e.g. Portugal.

[@Nutzername92a]

@@metalvisionsongcontest7055 Yep, it requires narcissism, that was a spot-on comment! We can see the same in football. Other countries have players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Didier Drogba etc., who have the necessary amount of narcissism and egoism to just score a goal when others would've passed to someone else and ruined the chance. We just don't have those people in Germany. We're only producing a bazillion of modest and altruistic midfielders, careful and responsible defenders and creative goalkeepers :D It's not in our character to be an "in your face! Look at me!" person.

[@nilerra8181]

@@metalvisionsongcontest7055 Well some divas place high other don't. Germany gaves us the coolest/fresh diva of the decade with Lena so I'm fine with their taste. Also they gave 12 points to Conchita in 2014. Matter of taste I guess I just don't think is narcissism. I prefer when countries vote with their heart as you said or have own personality :) I agree about you can't complain then if you get a bad result. It is what it is.

[@Lukas50667]

I completely agree that this was not a good choice... Their chemistry is so produced and you can see it so clear! The staging was too much. Honestly Germany did what they do every year...

[@0o0Vanilla0o0]

I have to disagree...I love this song. The message of female solidarity touched me. They shout, but with a purpose behind it. It's in the theme of the song. Sometimes you want to get to a person so much that you want to shout their name. Throughout the song they're trying to reach each other but there's an invisible barrier, because they never seem to be in the same place at the same time... until the end. Other songs were good, but the emotional appeal won over prepackaged (impersonal?) performances in my opinion.

[@Nutzername92a]

I like them as singers. I've seen Carlotta on The Voice Kids and Laurita on Kiddy Contest, so I have a lot of sympathy for them :D But I don't like the song and I REALLY don't get why people say the staging is good. I really dislike the staging. It's just a moving platform and you can never see the singers' faces, because one of them is always shown from behind - and on top of that, the camera is always too far away anyway. I want close-ups, I want to see emotions, not just hair. Her hair is beautiful though, don't get me wrong.

[@cheesecakes849]

Can’t agree at all. Personally, Sister is a very good song. It’s catchy, powerful, pretty uplifting and at the same time moving. Much better than Ally’s song. Yes, it could be a banger at the Euroclub parties, but it ends where it starts. Boring & repetitive.

[@fabiomrbarbosa]

When a song gets rejected by the Swiss selection you know you're in trouble, indeed. In first place Lilly, Makeda (incredibly robbed by the audience, want anything more mainstream charts-appealing? But no, it seems not, Germany) and then Aly were on my personal top. I can see how S!sters can be brand-able with time and in case they pull a Schulte in the ESC live performance the score should not be TOO bad, but it definitely was a Plan B winner for me too.

Makeda and Lilly Among Clouds were SO MUCH better than "S!sters" too. It's totally ridiculous how the producers of the preselection pushed their act while giving them the last spot to perform and other strange "coincidences". Even in the charts the two fake Sisters kinda flopped miserably. They are not authentic AT ALL in my opinion! There are so many people who think that the voting was rigged because they were so many calls that weren´t accepted during the voting time for other artists than "S!sters".

[@thestralix]

Being German that pretty much sums up everything I thought about this evening, lol :D

[@antonmarc3073]

As a German I must say, that it was the best preselction we had since 2012, where it was more of a casting show. It had diverse Songs and artists, who were all good singers with great vocals. Period. I don't necessarily like S!sters that much, but the song is better than the most things in the last year. The reason why they won it I believe the deep problem with Germany in Eurovision. We generally are interested it, but that interest just switches on quickly before the preselction and the actual contest. Furthermore, the German audience doesn't represent the international audience. It's older and has - unsurprisingly - a different taste. This results e.g. in weird result of the televoting last Friday, the three million spectators only casted about 300000 votes. Not that much, if you remember that is about the number of votes Rybak alone got in last year's Melodi Grand Prix with Norway having a population of only 5 million. In Germany you can only vote via landline phone or SMS, some of my friends do not even know what those are. This results in more a televote that overrepresents elderly people and the younger, more internationally voting youth is not having their say as much as they probably should. Because this is KZbin and long comments aren't read that much (Congrats to myself on writing this then...), I might save the other aspects of this problem and possible solutions for the article I will write to apply to become a writer for Wiwibloggs. I still had to say this: My personal favourite was Lilly, because it was touching me in a deeper manner than just getting emotional while listening to it. Though I voted 20 times, she missed to win the televote by kind of a big margin of more than 4%, bye money.

[@BUweB]

My favorite was Lilly among Clouds artistically. Reminded me of the young Kate Bush. I would have choosen Aly Ryan or Linus Bruhn for Israel. Aly Ryan was a little too much at the pre-selection with the performance, but her song is very memorable with its Parov Stelar-Trumpet Sounds. They all worked on their Song in a Work-Composer Camp and the Sisters were just casted. And it was quite unfair that one of the Singer was in a casting Show before (The Voice Kids) and got 12 Points from her former Team-Leader. Well all the songs were great till decent including Sisters of course. The No Angels poppped up in my mind - they had a song with no big memorable melody. Hope they work on their Harmony Vocals.

just the safe choice... it did not annoy anyone... that's the best achievment of the song. it's a "political" choice by NDR wanting to put some content (women's right issue) into the contest, see North Mazedonia and the exclamation mark should immeditately give them a trademark... but there's P!ink and she owns the exclamation mark and not those to little ladies... of course Aly Ryan was my choice too. Sometimes I guess the actual targetgroup is not watching the show. That's the problem. So if the average televoter is between 45 and 75 years of age you can see Sisters win. Last year, Michael Schulte was outstanding and this ballad was suitable for all generation.

The geman entry comes across as great, because most esc-songs this year SUCKS BIG TIME!!

[@JannekDietrich]

So how did S!sters win? You were talking about all these other great songs at the end and I just don't get it.

[@sebie2558]

Sorry, but Aly's vocals just weren't on point!

[@TheFlygon13]

I am confused as to why Makeda did so well. My German Twitter-Bubble unanimously thought she was great but the song was so dull

[@scallop555]

I'm from Germany. Sisters is an average song you forgot after 15 minutes. Were the others better? I do not think so, but that's a matter of taste. In Germany, in such competitions always win the song that no one hurts, but with which you can't win or at least have a good result.

[@IABITVpresents]

React to Hungary and Lithuania please!! 😊👏 and talk some more about the NFs of the two as well!

[@dennydivino]

Makeda gave me Jade Ewen Vibes. Would have been Top 10.

[@cybergen2K]

The song was so cringey and over cooked.

Lily Among Clouds was croaky because, I believe, she had been sick all week of rehearsal. The TV hosts mentioned that at some point. I wonder, hadn't she been sick, she might have won. Aly was vocally the best imho, but the staging was too much Hollywood - that's what the Germans found off-putting, and a bit cold atmospherically. Makeda, if you listen to her performance, I actually find, at like 2:30, it becomes too shouty
