Oops, everything is different. The Euro Vision Song Contest is not predictable. The sloping spectators had set up yet on the Finnish band Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät (PKN), which presents its refreshingly short Punk song “Aina mun pitää”, the country has already resigned. The four musicians with Down syndrome and autistic disabilities did not manage to qualify for the finals on Saturday.
Previously, PKN were highly traded. Even with the bookies (6th place). Now even experts only once speechless. Singer Kari Aalto analyzed with cool sharpness: “Everyone wants to hear pop, ballads or singing groups, we did our best, but this time no fish caught..” Since a lot of truth in the first part of the observation.
In the first semi-finals probably just sat in front of the audience in Eastern Europe Phone. So Albania, Armenia, Russia, Romania, Hungary, Estonia, Georgia, Serbia came through, to Greece and Belgium. Violins, wind and Walla Walla: top. Punk: Flop. The Netherlands and the basic fine retro sixties sound of the band with the name Antisocial Media from Denmark fell through, however. Denmark is not in the final, which took place since 2003 to stop.
Rascals of Trallala triumph
Maybe is the Song Contest in Austria remain so much because of a yet to be determined winner in memory, but because of the losers. Because Vienna demonstrates a hitherto unsuspected passion for the modern scamps of Trallala.
In the Leopold Museum is currently showing an exhibition “The Nul-Pointers “is. The Vienna-based author and illustrator Tex Rubinowitz, winner of the Ingeborg Bachmann competition has 34 faces painted with hasty stroke on wooden panels. It was a “late appreciation,” he says. On display are namely all the musicians who had to go the ESC with zero points from there, and were not infrequently it mocked hard in their home.
His heart is on the side of shame touched sad seemed the portrayed to ask for forgiveness. “God be merciful to these losers – so one could interpret,” says Rubinowitz. It’s a bit like the end of the Mozart film “Amadeus”, as the forgotten musician Salieri blesses the mediocre and less well off. Come and lose.
Leader of zero category by the way Norway with four representatives, among others, followed by Finland and Austria. Recently it got in 2003 the duo Jemini from Britain, which went down with “Cry Baby”. One would in the title actually can predict. Zero of 300 possible points, that’s a record.
Last time was 1995, a dark year for Germany ESC
Germany remained twice without any point, in 1964 with “You get used to so quickly to the Beautiful” and 1965 “Paradise, where are you?”. Last time was 1995 Dark ESC-year, as Germany with “love with you” Last was, however, rewarded with a single point, which came from Malta. Tex Rubinowitz, the “Nul-Pointer”, has set for the Year 2015 in the run, not what the losers, but as far as the winner. He predicted full of sympathy that Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät would gain from Finland. He was wrong, zeroPoints, Rubinowitz.
You have to tell all, without being defeatist, because the Austrian Culture Minister has made a real bash it on Tuesday. In the German embassy he told the grinning audience that Germany and Austria have a real zero-point relationship. Josef Ostermayer of the FPÖ can recalculate it meticulously.
In 47 joint participations Germany has given zero points on Austria whopping 30 times. Udo Jürgens has performed about three times for his country and has always been punished by Germany with non-compliance. What you can not tell from appearances Jürgens’ beyond the ESC.
nodes for Ann Sophie are virtually ruled out
Conversely, the Minister of Culture, the ratio was much better. Austria has only 21 times voted with zero points for Germany. The reciprocal relationship so could easily be improved, and every citizen can participate. There would still be room for improvement, even Ostermayer. Said
Of course, all this has nothing to do with the current German contribution. Zero points for Ann Sophie are virtually eliminated; especially in comparison with the still weak and languishing basic competition.
However, Wednesday was not just a hopeful day. Even Ann Sophie has namely to speak abgeklärtes Finnish, caught no fish. At midday sample was in the town hall on the big stage. The singer stood in gold platform shoes and moved noticeably little. Then she told me the shoes are too high, it was an attempt, these shoes will certainly not make it to the final.
Her voice was tremendously rough she croaked slightly and admitted to be a cold and on top of that nervous. In the evening she was supposed to in front of the Vienna City Hall in the open air and later occur on receiving in the Australian embassy, which was canceled.
In the second semi-final on Thursday (21 clock) should not be there, the singer set. By the Friday Ann Sophie wants to be fit again. In other participating ESC countries there are such cases tea with ginger, hot lemon, chamomile flowers inhalation, hot chicken soup or gargling with potato schnapps. And whatever the Finns say: Better not go to the sauna
