Hanover, Germany - In a thrilling show tonight, the German TV public have chosen their winner for the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna: Andreas Kümmert won the vote of the public but declined to represent Germany. Thus the second-placed Ann-Sophie will be singing Black Smoke in Vienna!

I preferred Ann Sophie, but it’s a whole big "chaos" here.
"Black Smoke": Gewinnerauftritt von Ann Sophie | Eurovision Song Contest 2015 | NDR
I sat and watched the episode unfold last night, and am at a total loss on what this Kummert guy was thinking or planning. I think the moderator carrying the show was pretty shocked at him declining.
Let me suggest a scenario here. If you win this stupid contest....you end up with a contract with the insiders of Eurovision-Germany, which means a contract....money...stipulations...concerts...etc. Correct? And you appear to represent Germany at the European contest.
I think the guy wised up and figured he got all the recognition he needed, and there was a better contract for him if he skipped the Eurovision deal and contest. I thought his song was tops over the 2nd-place winner.
Good tune. Thanks for the link.
