The German contribution to the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 already causes euphoria: "Best ESC song ever" - but there is a catch.
- Who is going to Germany for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 ?
- The fans are impatient, but still have to wait.
- Sky du Mont speaks of the "best German ESC song ever".
Hamburg - Who is going to Germany for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam? This information is still withheld from the world public and thus also from ESC fans. After the embarrassing S! Sters flop at the ESC 2019, the responsible NDR wants to do everything differently (again): the preliminary decision has been made. Instead, two juries decided on the participant and the appropriate song in a complicated selection process. Who is it? Secret classified information!
ESC 2020: German contribution? NDR makes it exciting
The big day is February 27th: German ESC hope should then be officially announced. And will also be presented in the evening in a show moderated by Barbara Schöneberger on TV station One . Until then there is still a lot of time for speculation. Ex- DSDS singer Daniel Schuhmacher and singer Alli Neumann are among the fans. Megastar Helene Fischer and celebrity daughter Marie Reim are said to have no more than negligible outsider chances.
The NDR seems to be making fun of the secrecy. And to arouse great expectations. Because now another obscure clip has been published on social media and YouTube. In it, acting star Sky du Mont explains as "Professor Satellite" in a humorous video how the German contribution was found.
ESC 2020: German song is the "best ever"
“ The result was the best German ESC song ever, ” explains Sky du Mont. “Poah. Hoh! Of course you are all as excited as I am and shout, 'Can I hear this song now?' No, because it is still top secret. ”The German song for Rotterdam would be“ totally brilliant ”.

Of course there is also a lot of irony in it - everything else cannot be justified after the penultimate place in 2019. But also a lot of confidence. Not all fans share this. "I wish you the best of luck. Unfortunately, but every year you say best song ever, ”one user doubts. And also at the fan portal esc-kompakt.de, the fans are eagerly discussing. "Well, the NDR is brave. 'The best ESC song ever'. Especially after the results of the last few years, a very daring statement, ”says one user. "I am in good spirits that it will be something", shows another optimistic.
ESC 2020: Not every fan has given up hope of Helene Fischer
And someone else hasn't given up hope of Helene Fischer *: "If it really is the best ESC song ever, the interpreter will probably be Helene Fischer *. To be honest, the NDR is setting the bar too high for the second video for another singer to come across. Who apart from Helene Fischer can live up to this claim of "best ESC song ever"? "
Anyway, it's unlikely that Sky du Mont heard the song at all. Because in order not to let it leak through, the makers should be extremely confidential.
An organizer was somewhat less discreet when he explained whether Helene Fischer had any special requests for her appearance.
