Last month we had the chance to have a little chat with Michael Schulte, who represented Germany this year in Lisbon. We talked about his Eurovision success, his amazing year and what’s next in his life. You can read the interview below or watch the video at the end of the article 🙂
“2018 was a crazy year”
Becoming a father, getting married and taking part in Eurovision all happened in one year for Michael. He isn’t sure how long he needs to realize what
“The Top 10 was my silent goal”
It was important for him to do his thing in Lisbon. The Top 10 were his silent goal for the final. He never mentioned it in interviews during the time in Lisbon. Another goal was to hear the magical sentence “Germany 12 points” at least once. It was a great evening for Germany.
Eurovision fans are crazy about Eurovision. They love music, life, celebrating music and Eurovision. They give so much love to the musicians and the performances. Being in the Eurovision bubble was very special for Michael and it makes you kinda addicted to Eurovision even more.
Talking about the artists for the German national final in 2019 he says, that he absolutely loves the artists who got selected for the pre-selection, but the most important part is the song. He is excited to see the show, not as a participant and without the pressure. Comparing taking part in “The Voice” to “Unser Lied” he said, that he felt a lot of pressure in the German pre-selection, because he really wanted to go to Eurovision. Performing in Lisbon was much more chilled.
Michael is now on tour. He released a new song mid-December, which was part of his selection for “Unser Lied 2018”. The song is called “The Love You Left Behind”. You can listen to the song below:
