1998 Germany : Guildo Horn & Die Orthopädischen Strümpfe - Guildo hat euch lieb! (Guildo loves you!)
2008 Bosnia and Herzegovina : Laka – Pokušaj (Try)
Guildo’s performance in 1998 was literally groundbreaking. It was the first time a singer broke through the 4th wall between the stage and the audience. This level of ‘interaction’ had never been seen before and however bad the song/singing his infectious personality and slightly anarchic streak made him a star. This highly individualistic performance gave Germany their most memorable placing for a long time and also came a respectable 7/25. Because of this, interaction with the audience is now much more mainstream and individuality is recognised and applauded.
10 years later another rather bizarre off-beat singer came to our attention. Representing Bosnia and Herzegovina that was Laka, with his sister Mirela on backing vocals, with their self penned song “Pokušaj”. Their rather eccentric staging, dress sense and dancing made them easy qualifiers from the semis and finished a respectable 10th in the finals
