If you or anyone else are interested in some other German pop music.

Here are three I have got into since moving here -

Xavier Nadoo thru his hip-hop band previous to going solo -

And his fab hip-hop project with Adriano -

@hans-orf Thanks I don't like pop actually but the songs I shared are special because they are first songs which I listened when I started to learn German.
Indeed I like children's songs like 'der Herbst ' and 'In der Weihnachtsbäckerei '

@comfortablynumb1903

No worries, still give them a go you never know.

Or try Guano Apes, rockier and sing in English and German -

Well this time your 3 favourites qulified, 2018 seems to be lucky for your choices, so when it comes to the final bet with friends about the winner and try to win some money
I am happy that Estonia qualified. Belgium was robber-yep, bad staging and not the best live performance but still deserved to continue. Innoncent victim!

So the finalists from the 1st Semi-Final ( that commentator is really annoying with his reactions for countries like Albania, Greece and Armenia which sang in their own laguage. Come on, the world is not only english...) :

@ncu-contagious DJ Rena was great!
Once again, good old vinyl days.
And I had the chance to listen some part of an old hit that I liked. Fun video too.

Couldn't agree more with you Alexander. Hats off to each country that has the guts to participate with their own native language. I'm so damn proud about this year's Greek song and I don't care one bit even if it ends up being last one on the board!

Yey, 8 countries from my personal Top 10 in this semi final made it to the final. I never had such an amazing rate with my songs before

To be honest, Belgium this year was very bad (in my opinion! ) and was my last place

With the lanuage thing I totally agree. I love it when songs are sang in their native language!

By the way, the Czech republic's song totally stuck in my mind and i really love it somehow

Tonight the semin final 2 of the esc.
I have 3 favourites here:

The Netherlands always had great songs in the last few years and also this year. A pretty cool one

Also cool is denmarks song. Sadly the singer has the "wrong" voice for the song. If he had a really deep and strong voice, this song would be amazing, so it's just good ^^

And somethin different from Hungary this year. Metall at the esc, I love it.

Also norways song I like in a way, because it's such a good-mood-song ^^

[Alexander 6666]

My favourites for today are Hungary and Australia.
There are still some other good ones like Ukraine, Denmark, Montenegro etc, but definitely the above two rule.

@supernova-8

Give these two local bands a go if you wanna listen to some newer stuff -

These guys sing in English and seen them live more than a few times, and have an old Indie/Manchester sound-

And a Bavarian band with a unique sound -

singing in their strong accent

[SUPERNOVA 8]
