Meet Germany's Eurovision 2021 act Jendrik who will sing I Don’t Feel Hate
He may not feel hate, but will Jendrik feel the joy of winning.
After a year off, a very sad year indeed, we are delighted to be able to say that Eurovision 2021 is upon us - and we really do feel like we need the sort of fun the contest brings this year.
We are taking a look at every single act performing in the contest and that includes Germany who has selected Jendrik to represent them.
But does he have the song needed to see that Germany go on win the whole thing after a poor result in 2019? Well, time will tell but for now, here is all we know about him and his chosen track.

As well as being a great singer, Jendrik has musical skills with instruments too as he is a trained piano and violin player and he also took to the stage in musicals while a student.
His career kicked off with his debut single "Dibdibidi" but he is still a relative up and comer which means he will be doing all he can to put on a great show on the night. Here's hoping he can pull it off and that he has chosen the right song. Speaking of the song...

What is Germany's Eurovision 2021 song called?
I Don't Feel Hate is the name of the track that Jendrik will be performing in May in Rotterdam - it was released as a single back in February.
Jendrik wrote the song himself alongside Christoph Oswald and if you want to have a listen to it ahead of Eurovision kicking off the 2021 competition, the music video is below for you to check out!
Where did Germany come in 2019’s Eurovision?
They did not do brilliantly. Germany finished in 25th place with a measly 24 points when the final votes were counted - still better than the United Kingdom which came in 26th place with 11 points.
They will surely be looking to do better this year and we would imagine that they will pull out all the stops to give us a performance to remember. It will just be a question of whether it will be enough.
When is Eurovision 2021?
The Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final will take place on Saturday 22nd May 2021 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
BBC One will be broadcasting live coverage of the event, while Graham Norton commentates.
Ken Bruce will be providing commentary on BBC Radio 2.
The semi-finals will be held on Tuesday 18th and Thursday 20th May, and will be broadcast on BBC Four.
Why was Eurovision 2020 cancelled?
The warning signs were there from early on that Eurovision may not take place in 2020 and as the global pandemic continued, it became an inevitability.
To make up for the Eurovision shaped hole in our lives, we were treated to shows that chose to look back at contests from the past with many famous acts being shown - Shine a Light and Eurovision Come Together. They were fun, but we are happy to report that the show will take place this year and we won't just have clip shows on our hands.
