Germany: Felicia Lu Dropped From German Eurovision Jury

Felicia Lu has been removed from the German jury having previously shared her favourites songs of this year’s competition.

Eurovision.de has released a statement explaining why Felicia Lu, the singer who competed in the German selections in 2017 and 2022,  has been removed from the German jury for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022:

Felicia Lu published her favorites from this year’s competition back in March. However, EBU rules state that national jury members are not allowed to nominate their favourites. Felicia Lu signed the corresponding agreement in April. Therefore, the NDR, in consultation with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), feels compelled to exclude her from the jury. NDR will announce the replacement shortly.

The four other jurors are:

  • Michelle – Represented Germany in 2001 with “Wer Liebe Leben” where she finished 8th
  • Max Giesinger – Singer-songwriter who has released four studio albums, he was also a juror for Germany in 2018
  • Tokunbo – Award-winning singer-songwriter who has released seventeen studio albums
  • Christian Brost – Head of Music at hr3 radio

Eurovision 2022: Germany’s second rehearsal

Today is the final day of rehearsals in Turin, with the second rehearsals of the BIG 5 countries!

Next up on stage for their second rehearsal is Germany and Malik Harris with the song “Rockstars”.

Who is Malik Harris?

German-American singer and rapper Malik has been writing songs on his guitar for over a decade. Harris comes from a very musical family, his grandfather was an opera singer, his grandmother a pianist, and his father plays several instruments and teaches cello.

The young star’s first singles, Say The Name (2018) and Welcome to the Rumble (2019), were hits on the German airplay chart and streaming platforms, which led to a solo tour in May 2019.

Malik has supported international acts including James BluntAlex ClareJeremy LoopsTom Odell and LP.

The Rehearsal

The singer starts by playing the piano and then he gets up and raps holding a drumstick. Some carpets are on stage. In the second chorus he plays the guitar.

A very intimate performance with warm lighting.

His vocals are pretty good and I have a feeling Germany could do much better than anticipated.

The second run was also pretty good. There were some major delays before the final run started.

Eurovision 2022: First Rehearsal of Germany!

Today is the sixth day of rehearsals in Turin and the first rehearsals of the BIG 5 countries are going to be held today!

Next up on stage for their first rehearsal is Germany and Malik Harris with the song “Rockstars“.

Who is Malik Harris?

German-American singer and rapper Malik has been writing songs on his guitar for over a decade. Harris comes from a very musical family, his grandfather was an opera singer, his grandmother a pianist, and his father plays several instruments and teaches cello.

The young star’s first singles, Say The Name (2018) and Welcome to the Rumble (2019), were hits on the German airplay chart and streaming platforms, which led to a solo tour in May 2019.

Malik has supported international acts including James Blunt, Alex Clare, Jeremy Loops, Tom Odell and LP.

The Rehearsal

This is really smart performance from Malik! He works the cameras really well and makes a real connection with the audience.

EBU / ANDRES PUTTING

The staging is simple and stripped back, and the Eminem-style rap section has real intensity in contrast to the sections either side where it’s just Malik and his guitar. It’s a really confident and compelling performance and his vocal is great too – a nice chance of pace after a couple of roof-raising numbers.

Below you can watch a small clip from the German first rehearsal on TikTok:

Interesting information about the stage presentation of some participations?

A number of interesting information is given by a user on Wiwibloggs. Of course, we are not able to know if everything that user says is true. However, because everything he supports about the Greek participation and the direction of Fokas Evangelinos are based, we decided to publish this information, telling you to always read carefully what follows, as they are not fully confirmed.

Initially, this user refers to the participation of the United Kingdom, saying that although he believes that this year the country will do much better than we are used to, Sam Ryder will not win, since the stage presentation of Space Man is not a winning one. He also gives a forecast saying that UK will be from the 7th to the 12th place.

As was reasonable the above raised questions to users, who ask Who am i? how he is so sure of what he mentions. Who am i? then claims that he had the opportunity to see and know some things about the stage presentation of about ten countries.

What is of particular importance for Greece is the following:

So according to what he reveals, a country that will hold its first rehearsal on May 1 and is currently in the top ten of bets, will do much better than is now expected. In addition, he advises us to be patient, since a lot will change during the rehearsals.

The countries that have rehearsals on May 1 and are in the top ten of bets are Greece and Norway. However, knowing that Norway will perform on the stage of the contest almost the same that Subwoolfer performed in the final of MGP 2022, our mind automatically goes to the Greek participation. In his next comment he makes it even more obvious that he is referring to Greece.

Finally, Who am i? says some things about Poland as well. On the one hand, he does not think that it will go as well as most people think, but also that the stage presentation is not so different from the national final.

Who am i? gives his own prediction of the final winner of the competition, which he considers to be one of the women’s ballads, without specifying here which one he has in mind.

Are they just speculations? Are opinions based on data he knows? In very few days we will know. However, the truth in his words that we can also confirm, is that the stage presentation of the Greek participation is the telling of a story that will really move.
