Berlin - The preliminary decision for the “Eurovision Song Contest” will take place in Sweden on February 16, 2024.
Then in the German final for nine acts it's about who gets to present their song in the international singing battle in Malmö.
Also there: pop star Marie Reim (23) with “Naive”.
But her live singing is criticized.
Marie Reim: The pressure is growing before the ESC preliminary decision
The fact that the daughter of Matthias Reim (66) and Michelle (52) would once again represent Germany with a hit at the ESC in May if she won on Friday is not only pleasing to fans of the scene.
Numerous pop stars are also keeping their fingers crossed for Marie Reim.
The expectations for the 23-year-old are high.
But can it also fulfill these?
At the ESC - unlike, for example, in the shows with Florian Silbereisen (42) - you have to sing live.

points out that it had expressed concerns about the young singer in this regard before the decision for Marie was made.
And ESC experts also expressed criticism after the rehearsals.

reported difficulties in directing and camera work as well as with Marie Reim: “And unfortunately you also have to say that the tones when singing are not all there

In any case, the performance of the pop singer and her team seems to have improved by their fourth and final test run.
ESC compact
reported in conclusion: “Overall, the performance seems more rounded and Marie also sings more confidently, albeit with a few uncertainties.” The fans now have to cross their fingers twice as hard that Marie can deliver on February 16th.
In any case, Marie had fun singing live during a private outing with father Matthias Reim.
