Isaak, a pretty nobody, won the preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest on February 16th. Music Europe is talking about completely different acts in the favorites at the ESC final on May 11th.
The extended circle of favorites also includes contributions from Croatia, Italy, Ukraine and the Netherlands. And Germany? Have to cope with another setback when looking at the betting odds. On April 10th, 12th and 13th, Germany was ranked 34th out of 37 nations in the odds overview! Not far from permanent bottom-place San Marino. It wouldn't be the first time that an act suddenly attracted attention here in the weeks before the ESC and went from being an insider tip to becoming a top favorite. Or even win in the end. However, it seems almost impossible that someone who is ranked at the bottom of the list among bookmakers can take off like this. Germany's performance since 2019 is legendary. To be more precise, legendarily bad: 25th place for S!sters 2019.
