How did Germany's audience vote at the ESC? Finland in front – surprise in 3rd place

At the ESC 2023, Lord of the Lost were only able to score 18 points. But who actually scored the most points from the German audience?

Munich/Liverpool – Die-hard ESC fans from Germany would probably prefer to lay the cloak of silence over Germany's performance in the 2023 ESC final. Started with a lot of optimism and confidence, Lord of the Lost were only able to score 18 points – and thus finished last. The dark rockers only scored three points from the national juries, but at least 15 points were awarded by the spectators.

The German representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 obviously does not seem to have met the taste of the European community. But who, in turn, was able to inspire the German viewers? The points of the German televoters at a glance – and who surprised them.

Albania meets the taste of German spectators in the 2023 ESC final – Elton's gag rather less so

So there are still the eight and ten points that result from the votes of the German televoters at the ESC final 2023. The ten points were awarded to Italy and thus to Marco Mengoni, who was able to make a fan happy after the ESC. The biggest surprise, however, were the eight points for Albina & Familja Kelmendi from Albania. After all, the southeastern European country was not able to score too many points during the evening and ended up in 22nd place out of 26.

By the way, the points of the German ESC jury were awarded by Elton. The presenter from the Stefan Raab cosmos indulged in a gag that delighted Ted Lasso actress Hannah Waddingham – but was sometimes torn apart on the net. Well, as is so often the case, it is not always possible to meet everyone's taste. Just like in the ESC final, when it comes to the points of the spectators. (han)
