There is a conspiracy theory (I wouldn't be surprised if it's true) that the Norddeutsche Rundfunk is sending all these terrible singers to the ESC because they
DON'T want to win. Winning means they have to host the next ESC and they don't want to spend money on that. Germany has absolutely amazing singers, songwriters & bands so it's very suspicous that the NDR chooses pathetic clowns.
Robin Schulz
Electric Callboy
Milky Chance
etc. etc. So many talented people but the ESC gets the bottom of the barrel. So yeah there is something weird going on and it probably has to do with money.
