The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is approaching fast, and Germany is pinning its hopes on sibling duo Abor & Tynna with their track “Baller.” Despite recent setbacks and mixed odds, the performers remain determined to make a strong impact on the big stage in Basel.
Abor & Tynna Bounce Back After Health Setbacks: Eurovision Song Contest 2025 Germany
After winning Germany’s national selection show “Chefsache ESC 2025 – Wer singt für Deutschland?”, Abor & Tynna had to cancel several appearances due to illness. Singer Tynna suffered from a severe laryngitis, rendering live performances impossible. However, she has now fully recovered and showcased her vocal strength at “Pop meets Classic” on April 27.
Revamped “Baller” Gears Up for Eurovision Stage
The song “Baller” underwent significant changes to comply with Eurovision rules. The updated version features more cello arrangements and dynamic vocal lines. Delegation head Alexandra Wolfslast stated that changes were essential, particularly because lead vocals are not allowed to be doubled at the live contest.
Bookmakers’ Odds and Fan Reactions
Germany’s odds currently place the country between 19th and 22nd among this year’s Eurovision entries. Still, hope remains: in some fan rankings, “Baller” has cracked the top 5. The OGAE fan club network has released part of its voting, showing Germany with mixed yet promising support.

Conclusion
Despite facing vocal health issues and uncertain betting odds, Abor & Tynna remain a promising act for Germany at Eurovision Song Contest 2025. With a revised song and growing fan support, they may yet surprise Europe on the ESC stage in Basel.
