Germany’s Eurovision Hope Sarah Engels Slumps to 29th in Fan Poll

A widely watched online ranking now signals weak momentum for Germany before the May 16 contest in Vienna.

Overview

  • An ongoing eurovisionworld.com poll shows Sarah Engels at 29th of 35 entries with 478 of 72,505 votes, which is under 1 percent support.
  • The same snapshot places Finland first, with Denmark and Sweden rounding out the top three in the fan vote.
  • Engels’ song Fire fell out of Germany’s Top 100 soon after release, pointing to soft support at home.
  • Social media users compare Fire’s sound and staging to Eleni Foureira’s 2018 Fuego performance, citing similar choreography, outfits, and styling.
  • Engels says she will not feel pressured and wants to enjoy the contest, while coverage notes the fan poll has often aligned with past winners even though it is unofficial.
