In a change to my usual huge pre-Eurovision summary blog post, I'll be posting a daily look at a particular song from this years contest... starting with the hosts; Germany.
Lena Meyer-Landrut's Satellite was a worthy winner last year. Fun, catchy and all round awesome.
This year, having decided they were on to a good thing with Lena, Germany's entry is more grown up and subtle.
Taken By A Stranger doesn't fall very easily into Eurovision stereotypes (such as the "poptastic" or the "OMG they've gone with their country's traditional music" genres). It's a well-crafted piece of music, and it's easy to imagine it in any European pop chart. I don't want to go over the top but, from a personal taste point of view, I think this is one of the best Eurovision songs I've heard. I absolutely adore it. Saying that, I quite enjoyed Scooch...
Check it out and let me know what you think:
