Germany Selects Abor & Tynna's 'Baller' for Eurovision 2025

The electronic dance track will represent Germany in Basel, but experts and bookmakers express doubts about its chances of victory.

Abor & Tynna, a sibling duo from Vienna, won Germany's Eurovision selection with their song 'Baller', beating eight other finalists in a revamped national competition led by Stefan Raab.
'Baller' is an electronic dance track with 1990s influences, featuring a staccato vocal effect and a cello-smashing stage performance, which was a nod to the siblings' classical music background.
Despite its catchy hook and energetic vibe, critics and bookmakers have expressed skepticism about the song's uniqueness and potential appeal to Eurovision's diverse audience.
The selection process drew significant viewership, with 3.7 million tuning in—marking the highest ratings for Germany's Eurovision selection in nearly a decade.
Stefan Raab's return to Eurovision leadership sparked renewed interest, though his approach and the exclusion of fan-favorite band Feuerschwanz from the final voting round have drawn mixed reactions.
