2011 Germany: Anke Engelke, Judith Rakers and Stefan Raab
To be honest, the presentation teams are really something I don’t pay a lot of attention too… maybe that means that most of the Eurovision presnters have been doing their job properly. I guess the Samantha Fox/Mick Fleetwood of Eurovision was Italy 1991. Entertaining for the wrong reasons. The contest was hosted by 2 former winners - Gigliola Cinquetti (1964) and Toto Cutugno (1990) and the latter’s poor English skills not only made presenting the acts a painful but the voting at the end was excruciating.
However, I have not chosen that. I have actually chosen the most recent presenting team for Eurovision. The German presentation overall was very good and all 3 presenters had a great rapport and connection with each other and the audience and the participants. They were also able to balance the serious technical part of the event with some humour (Who says the Germans have no sense of humour!!!)
To illustrate this I have chosen 2 clips.
Firstly, the introduction to the reprise of Satellite at the start of the 2010 final
Secondly, an excerpt of Anke and Stefan doing their own versions of Euro hits (badly!) from SF2
