If it’s the graveyard slot – it must be Germany

I really, really, don’t want to write anything about the German final because it’s becoming increasingly a parody of its former self – just like the German entries but, as my reader, you deserve some coverage, even if it is just the bare minimum.

The first thing we need to say is that the field of nine was reduced to eight on Friday morning when the band Frida Gold pulled out as their lead singer, basically, couldn’t sing. They didn’t perform in Thursday’s daytime rehearsals, or the jury rehearsal on Thursday night, so it was impossible for them to carry on.

This, then left a field of eight poor unfortunates, vying for the very dubious honour (at 2220 CET I hasten to add – are ARD burying this?) of representing Germany in Liverpool.  Televoter and jury decided the winner and that result was:
