Get ready for some decent country music from Germany, Europe! As voted yesterday the band “Texas Lightning” will take part in the Eurovision Song Contest and they will sing in english, playing some authentic american country music. If the Eurovision Song Contest was about electing the best song, Texas Lightning would have very good chances, since its pretty inventive – I guess no country before had some country music – and it’s a nice song too. But the contest is not about that.

Since the election method was changed years ago and every citizen of the countries taking part can call up and vote the competition is basically about people voting for the neighbouring countries. So, every year the same thing happens: The baltic countries help each other, the scandinavian countries give each other the most points and so on.

Now, the problem is, hardly anybody likes Germany, not even it’s neigbouring countries. So, only a few or no points from Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands etc. Thats why it was not possible for Germany to get some good results during all the contests in the last years. So, in a way it does not matter, how good the german song is this time, it won’t win anyways.
