ESC experts

Comedian and moderator Thomas Hermans has moderated the German ESC preliminary round for years. With him, “Schബnberger will be reminded of the great songs of the Eurovision Song Contest, the unusual costumes, and the most touching and surprising moments,” the show predicts.

Singer-songwriter Max Geisinger will remember some of the best German ESC songs that he would like to comment on specifically. He’s performing the song “Taxi” on his new album as a TV premiere.

Irish singer Johnny Logan first won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980 with his song “Watts Another Year”. In 1987, he competed again in Brussels under the title “Hold Me Now” and won. Five years later, Linda Martin sang “Why Me?” For Ireland. He won the ESC for composing and composing the song. In “ESC – Countdown für Turin” Johnny Logan performs three legendary hit songs in one medley.
