Germany 2016: oikopanel reviews ‘Ghost’

Olivier Rocher from France

Very nice song for Germany this year, and the “0 points” in Vienna is just a bad souvenir now. Germans have chosen to follow the 2010 recipe with Lena: simplicity. “Ghost” is a great song indeed, and young Jamie-Lee definitely has enough charisma to be remembered on the big night. A slow pop ballad, almost a mystical one, that’s what I like about the song. Depending on her spot in the rand Final (and if a too sophisticated staging don’t ruin the song), Germany could be a good surprise in my opinion…

Fred Medeiros from United Kingdom

After last year’s nil points by Ann Sophie’s Black Smoke, Germany needed a change of direction. I think they have done just that. Jamie-Lee’s Ghost is like a Sia chart-topping hit along her quirkiness will make Germany stand out and be remembered, which is half the battle. The production of this entry will be very important to its final placing. Everyone seems to be discounting this entry but I think it could end up in the Top 10.

Luka Popovic from Serbia

“Ghost” and Jamie-Lee herself remind me a lot of Germany’s last Eurovision winner Lena. This is a good song and is in stark contrast to last year’s German entry. Jamie-Lee has a strong voice and this should generally do well with both the public and juries on the big night. Germany’s national selection this year was the most watched since Lena’s winning entry was chosen to represent the country in 2010. This could be telling us something. Overall a good effort from Germany.
