It’s an annual competition and it’s big: The Eurovison Song Contest. Members of the European Broadcasting Union each submit a song to then be performed on live tv by either a band or a solo artist and then vote which song was best. They’re not allowed to vote for their own country though.
Yesterday it was an even bigger event for Germany: WE WON! For the first time since 1982! The entire nation is proud. And it’s proud of her: Lena Meyer-Landrut, the 19-year highschool student who won the contest for us.
Click here to watch her performance from last night. Click on the picture to watch the official video of her song “Satellite”.
I wasn’t into her voice or the song at all when I heard it for the first time to be honest. But I guess the more you listen to it (and you cannot escape this song in Germany these days!) the more you like it.
Another funny thing is that many people tell me that I remind them a lot of Lena. I’ve heard it so many times that it has almost started annoying me. But now that she wrote German music history, I’m kinda flattered ;)
