Germany's Eurovision 2025 Hopes Dim Despite Efforts

Germany's Eurovision journey in the 2020s has been challenging, with its best result being next-to-last place. Despite Stefan Raab's declaration of the 2025 contest as a 'top priority,' the odds are not in Germany's favor. Raab selected the Austrian siblings Abor & Tynna to represent Germany with their song 'Baller,' which delves into themes of painful separation. However, the song has not captured the magic of past successes.

Betting odds favor Sweden's KAJ with a cheerful sauna-themed song, indicating a tough competition for Germany. The Eurovision Song Contest 2025, held in Basel, Switzerland, is also embroiled in political tensions, notably with Israel's participation amid protests.

In the lead-up to the contest, Raab has been actively promoting the German entry, even hinting at bribery to gain support. Despite these efforts, the German act enters the finals with little expectation of victory. With prominent figures backing Raab's efforts and a vibrant lineup of contestants, the Eurovision stage is set for an intriguing showdown, yet Germany remains an underdog.
