It was unnecessary to hire her. Her performance wasn't particularly exciting, and it's always bad to give money to a star who has to pretend to wear a national color. That's calculated. Nobody is buying it.
I KNOW! It feels like a complete different era. ESC seemed to be at an all-time low in Germany and suddenly became so popular due to Lena. EVERYONE was following her win in 2010 and the event in 2011. But they did so well to completely ruin it again in the last years.
I don't understand why this should be a guilty pleasure. Why should I feel guilty for loving this? The 20th place was so freaking unfair, this was one of my favourite songs in that Eurovision ❤️
If you won this year inatead of 2010, I wouldn't have been sad. This isn tot because Turkey came 2nd in 2010. I prefer another country to win in 2010 even if Turkey had to 2nd
@@ufuksnmez98 Actually, Turkey's song was my favorite in 2010 and Germany's was for me on the 12th place because there were much stronger entries, some of them were eliminated in the Semi Final's, but Germany did something in the marketing for the contest in 2010, something that is missing nowadays because we don't give any effort on selecting our entries. And even if I think that our song in 2009 was one of our better entries in the 2000s, this is just average. And you can't save an average entry with an amazing show. You see it for three minutes and you'll forget it.
@@perisdahl569 Unfortunately the Televote from Norway was cancelled in 2009 by a technical problem. But the Jury in Norway gave 6 Points to us. The Televote would have downgraded it for sure.
I remember I was 8 when this was aired, when dita von tease came onto the stage my mum told me to turn away from the TV, it was both mortifying and hilarious.
What I really like about this is not necessarily the stripper but it's the fact that Germany really put on a show. Dancers, pyro and stuff. I think that's what we're lacking the last years. We're sending good songs and strong singers but we don't care about the visualization. People vote with their ears AND with their eyes. Lena and Roman Lob have shown that you don't need a spectacular show. But since our performances have been modest and small for the last couple of years, I think it's time for some great show again.
Dita is not a stripper. She is a burlesque performer. The form of Burlesque Dita does is more about tease and sensuality rather than showing a nude body.
2:26 those vocals are really suspicious. Cause they only had one backing singer and the pianist. And the voice is so good and clear. Either they had playback or they had a great backing singer and good sound mix
I actually loved this! I can think the only reason it didn’t do well is probably because Germany went for a staging that’s too rich and maybe it was just too ahead of it’s time. I mean they bought Dita Von Teese to Eurovision which none of us saw coming I don’t think. Anyway I loved this. One of Germany’s stronger entries in the last few decades 👏🏻🖤
Me! 😂😂 I was a kid and when Dita Von Teese came in, I didn't believe what I was seeing. It was a psychological torture. I didn't look at my parents the rest of the night.
Why did they use dita as a gimmick? They should have her strip ( tame version) on the front of the stage from the begining. She looked so uncomfy. Such a an amazing performer reduced to a gimmick
Gino7lord it was planned that she was gonna strip and be naked on stage but ebu forbid it, so the rule that no one can be naked on stage was put in the rule book which is why ivan couldnt be naked and dance with wolfes in 2016 haha
I'm not a fan of the festival but I remember that song along with the one from Spain that were my favorites. I think since then I haven't seen the festival again.
This is one of my all-time favourite Eurovision performances, primarily, of course, because Dita is a legend, but even without her this staging would still remain one of the best in ESC. My favourite moments are 2:03 and 2:14. The song itself is also great, btw. Sure, his vocals are not the best, but neither were those of that year's winner (Rybak), so I really can't see why this wasn't in the top 10, especially given the overall quality level of the 2009's line-up. My only guess would be that an obviously gay man trying really hard for 3 minutes to pretend he's into women might not have looked believable to people?
@@namangupta3554 when was the last time you re-listened to Rybak's performance? Please listen to it again. You will hear that he has some moments when he is out of tune. Of course, not during his whole performance, only several moments.
Von daher ist die Hoffnung gegeben, dass wir nächsten Jahr gewinnen könnten. Nur weil wir dieses Jahr eine schlechte Platzierung hatten, muss das ja nichts heißen. ^^ Dafür brauchen wir aber ein gutes Lied. xD
Armagged to the Hound Ne, eine gute Platzierung werden wir wirklich nicht bekommen :P Naja, vielleicht landen wir mit Glück ja noch vor Spanien, deren Beitrag ist dieses Jahr auch nicht so beliebt :P
Armagged to the Hound Der Song ist eigentlich gut, aber da Deutschland zurzeit politisch einen sehr schlechten Ruf hat, werden wir wieder auf den hinteren Plätzen landen. Beim ESC geht es schon lange nicht mehr um das Musikalische, sondern um seine politischen Beziehungen zu anderen Ländern zu stärken ^^
itz Deniz Warum sollte Deutschland einen schlechten Ruf haben? Und das Lied ist einfach nur ziemlich 08/15 und überhaupt nichts besonderes, weswegen auch nicht viele dafür voten werden wollen.

Yes i true
It’s so hilarious how for like 80% of the performance she did actually nothing
I still can't believe this is only one year before Lena.

It is better than Lena's
this song is 10x better than Lena imo

everything about this performance is peak 2000s. love it
They were trying to go for the aesthetics of the 1920s tho...

Have u ever listened Turkey 1975?
Totally agree with you!
Am I the only one who absolutely adores this song?
No I don't think so
One of the best performances in a GREAT year for Eurovision!
I love this song Its so funky
I didn't know anything about swing this is cool
Still love this song... 7 years later:D
Thank you SO much for uploading.
I remember the fact they invited Dita von Teese to their performance made the news here in the UK 😂 How time flies!
I'm going to say it, This is the second best song germany have ever sent to Eurovision behind 1982

If he released this song today, probably it'd be hit. I think this one was one of the strong song in 2009
This was my favourite entry that year. Still love this song!

Absolutely love it. One of Germany‘s best entries.
I loved this in 2009 when I first saw this on EV and I love it today in 2023! This deserved a better result!
I love this masterpiece and it should have won the Eurovision song contest and I love his outfit
1:45 onwards is just glorious, campy, burlesque german perfection
also just loooooove the cheers from the crowd when Dita takes off her jacket and that over the top cinched corset is revealed
2:26 those vocals are really suspicious. Cause they only had one backing singer and the pianist. And the voice is so good and clear. Either they had playback or they had a great backing singer and good sound mix
I think it's the latter, the pianist also had a mic
backing vocal does a LOT of heavy lifting here, I think he's ultra professional. 2:10 is a great moment too, he finishes that "oooooh!" for Oscar
Wow the competition really was fierce in 2009, there were so many strong entries!
Ikr?
This went from guilty pleasure to best song ever! And Dita Von Teese...Goood ☻
I actually loved this! I can think the only reason it didn’t do well is probably because Germany went for a staging that’s too rich and maybe it was just too ahead of it’s time.

So random, who paid for Dita Von Teese, to fly out to Russia where it was hosted and be on tv for a grand total of 50 seconds???
The German taxpayers (TV fee).
The fact that he's gay makes the whole thing even better
I love how in the on scene of the crowd you just see a large group of red flags swinging and no other flag
