Germany has not shone at the Eurovision Song Contest in recent years. What are the chances of winning this year? Barbara Schöneberger has a clear opinion about the German ESC participant.

Comedian Oliver Kalkofe is also confident about the ESC final on May 11th. The German ESC candidate Isaak can finally make positive headlines again after two last places in a row. He's a great singer, he's cool and doesn't have any pumped up, trimmed body and isn't doing a dance performance here,” said the cabaret artist. “Maybe it’s that people say: Finally something honest, something cool.” Kalk ofe explains why Germany has so often fallen short of expectations at the ESC in recent year by saying that it has “always just followed a trend” The Munich native will present the countdown and aftershow broadcasts for the ESC on Erste live from Malmö. His appearance in front of an audience of millions will also be accompanied by ARD's new ESC commentator.
