is in England Le Grand Prix de la Chanson € vision simply in years, "Euro vision". "Grand Prix" is in fact already pre-reserved for Formula One. So when I was in Hamburg for the first time invited to the "Grand-Prix-watching," I was a bit perplexed: a Formula One race that takes place Saturday night? A woman who wanted to celebrate with hot dogs and potato salad?
But well, one has seen it all, right? Perhaps the race was indeed in Australia or something? And because women and cars, and "typical male" hobby - well, equality and so on. Why not?

Grand Prix watching "seems in any case a rather Hamburgisches Thing to be. In other parts of Germany - and England - although the event will be watched, but only by people who hang anyway Saturday night in front of the telly. That you specifically throw a party that I have seen only in Hamburg.
Maybe it's the fact that the scoring is always done from the game booth space Pauli? The Hamburg-bound to feel for the Grand Prix - and want to look natural, if Germany wins. If so, they can be everything in the apartment and walk to the neighborhood.

Lena's success was very Germany-ca-2006. It was World Cup atmosphere in that the Germans could not believe how easy it to normality on the world stage is now. We must catch with flags and openly rejoice that a representative of his country's success, while not suspected of Bismarckian nationalism - to get - or worse.
Lena and her show were the way for Germany's expert on the purest expression of the modern Federal Republic. So simple, business-like and practically applied - compare with Lena's little black dress - well, because the outfits from all the other Tussen. A symbol of the barren but attractive German aesthetics, a counterpart to the German love of IKEA simple-subtle interior and other buildings with steel and glass.
also analogous to larger trends in contemporary Germany: Everything in English! Germany has resigned earlier than other great nation so that English is the universal language and whole generations of Germans drummed accordingly, that all will be in English - including his own culture. And that is a recipe for success. Because like the pedant as I criticize bad English in the DB so much and so much about Lena's horrible accent - somewhere between Dickens'chen orphaned bösewilligem parody of a black African soul singer - make fun: Save Less sophisticated English speakers not. Not even all the other Europeans who learn English also difficult had, what is crucial.
And much like the Germany of today Lena can not believe that they won. Thanks to hard work, practice, and costing German companies produce products that are in demand all over the world, but is not an art piece that you have as successful. Lena and Raab have with their convenient pop-song chosen the hotel for € vision and she has practiced pretty hard: they indulged in their success!
