Lena represented Germany at the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest in Düsseldorf, performing the song 'Taken By A Stranger'. Germany came in 10th position in the Final with 107 points. - Zábava
The people of 2011 couldn't handle this level of iconic
Truly
You’re so damn right
Slayed two years in a row
I can't take it today either... AND stop infesting your toxic ideas - This is not a positive song
Don't be fooled just because you're now a Clean Sample of 2023 of people who searched for this song...
Fr this was agead of its time
Lena 2010 and Lena 2011 are so different
Dashcam HdF yeah 2010 she's all cute mad charming and then boom 2011 she so hot!s😂❤️😍
its easy to change a "product ..
And now Lena 2019 is also different again😂 she made an amazing evolution
Is it weird that I prefer 2011 Germany over 2010's?
@@asukaay10 no
2010: satelitt crazy and Cute Lena
2011: taken by a stranger sexy mysterious Lena
thats why it didn't work that time for her. Everyone loved her performance in 2010, the happy dancing.. good vibes... and a year later? Everything seems like she knew exactly what move to make etc.. sad
+Sairez well she got the 10th place I mean I think it would've been a real big "miracle" if she had won again no matter if she would've got the best song of the year and you can't tell me that it didn't work when you got the tenth place
clemenscity 2017 i have heard she has a video in pornhub... artist goals :-P
por Que cojones lena volvio a reprensentar a alemania
Y por qué cojones Raphael representó dos veces a España, XD
Taken By A Stranger was way ahead of it's time, about a decade. And now ten years later the song is still fire and Lena deserved to win also in 2011. This was the best song that year, hands down.
You mean Billie Eilish?
@@albiboy1599 Ehm, nope.
@@albiboy1599 Billie was 9 years old when this was performed
Yes
This is one of the most modern ESC entries of the 2000s. I always liked it and I always thought it was way underrated.
I agree. Loved it before the ESC when it was on promo.
Great song and still love it now!! :)
you mean the 2010's, wrong decade
The song is really dark and it creeps me out. I know it takes musical skill to write a song to generate such a strong sense of mood, but this isn't a song that will appeal to a broad audience.
Can 10th place count as underrated for any song? And please don't mention Ruth Lorenzo!
Pastora Soler.
It was too modern for 2011
too sophisticated for eurovision
Yep this is so current 🖤 Most entries from that year including the winner feels dated now
She is Germen!

FACTS
I THINK IT'S ILLEGAL TO BE THIS HOT ON STAGE
+pakvedTV PICKUP MASTER!
lol, was that genuine? or u're just being sarcastic?
same here lol
+pakvedTV But this is weird to me, because I remember when I first saw this song and I was only 13 years old and didin't liked her at all, but now as I am 18 years old I can't stop looking at her sexy face and body too!
uh... Poland 2014.
i'm pretty sure the only reason this didn't win was cuz she won last year.
she did not deserved winning
@@AhmetSahiner of course she does
@@AhmetSahiner I agree ! She deserved in 2010 but not in 2011
this song was better than the one she won with
And the plastic condoms behind her
this was literally ahead of its time. Gives me Billie Eilish vibes! So good
Kinda, yea.
So true!!!
Billie Eilish is literally a rich snowflake pulled out from a trash bin.
this great song was ahead of its time
she participated twice?? this is not in the rules isnt it?
N T ... Ist echt so 😳 Er ist wirklich überall 😂
Joan Riba there isn't against the rules to participate twice.
Jedward represented Ireland two years in a row (2011 and 2012), Rybaak won in 2009 and represented Norway in 2018, Johnny Logan won two times in 1980 and 1987 (and a third time only as a composer in 1992) and there are many participants like Poli Genova or Sunstroke Project that entered the contest for a second time or a third and then there's the legendary Valentina Monetta that represend San Marino in 4 ocasions: 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017
This why they wear radioprotecive aluminium suits ;)
Devin Sumer yeah, and I love tha angles as well!
She performed and sang perfectly but the modern twist did not win the crowd over 2 years straight. Sadly because it is quite extraordinary !
she sang so bad and her stage presence was worse lol

It's probably an unpopular opinion, but this is my favourite German entry. The best song that Germany sent in Eurovision and it deserved to win back then.
Not unpopular, for me it is the best German song as well.
I like it now, but I didn’t like it back then. Not sure whether it is our best song though, but surely a remarkable one.
2010: Cutie
2011: Hottie

This was the fear in Germany too back then. Lena was agreed to do it again in 2011. The year before was the first time that the TV-audience chose the candidate AND the song out of non-professionals in a casting. Lena won and the song Satellite was chosen for her. 2011 they did a casting show again: only candidate was Lena, singing various songs. In the end this song beat a more conventional, nice ballade. The idea was: to stand out somehow will have more chances than a conformist song which everyone else has. The risk of being totally rejected was discussed. In the end this song landed in the better midfield - something unexpected. Well, and lately, 2015, the more conventional, well sung song ended with 0 points...
Germans though chose this for being different as they also chose the 2010 song for being different: without a big stage show, revealing clothes, lightening and so on, rather focussing on the authenticity of the singer (2010) or the innovation of the song (2011, but somehow also 2010). Sadly it went behind this standard afterwards again. 2012 was the last time for a comparable national casting, then again the competing groups applied already with their own already chosen songs.
Btw: The difference between 2011 and 2010 songs are not due to some maturing of Lena or any musical development, but due to the audience's vote. The argument was: repeating the same style of 2010 would be boring, so let's try another side. Nothing about Lena becoming someone else suddenly. ;) Now she is, though: having her first album she was herself free to design (without any company's decisive mpact on the style).

She should have won that year, too. What an iconic song
It would’ve been crazy too. Lena would have been the second person to win the contest twice, the first woman to do so and the first and only person to win twice in a row
@@Jai05 This song is far better than Sweden's song for this year in my opinion. It would have been indeed super crazy
I agree! That year Azerbaijan won with its worst song ever :') I am from Azerbaijan, but it's fact that Niki and Ell's entry can only be the worst from Azerbaijan :/ I love all the other songs we have sent to ESC.
Turkey should have won that year. Change my mind
One number❤
she changed a lot i mean:
2010: lena went with a very very happy song, she was dancing on her way and she was very smaily
2011: lena went with a modern song, knowing exactly what to do in every moment and she was very misterious and hot.
I have to say that both two songs was incredible
Miguel Menendez Tome agreed
she sang that song like a winner :D
Ummmm... yes :D
She was the odds fav in that year...
Actually sehe ist a winner
@@mathisb.9082 Of Course she is the winner!
She will be always a winner for us
This is probably one of the best songs on ESC from the past 10 years. The song, the stage, choreography and presence was simple but hugely mesmerising., modern and dark. This blew Satellite out of the water for me.
Cooper A
The ESC world wasn’t ready for this 😝
true story bro
Cooper A nah fairytale was the best!
Cooper A If she hadn’t won the year before this probably would have won
She was way out of tune, all the way through, that's why.
2020 anyone? Can we talk about this underrated perf" and the perfect dancers?
Everything about this is perfection. Music, lyrics, singer, vocals, choreography, dancers, staging, light, colors, LED, costumes, camera work, explosion at the end.
This song would win if it was an entry in today's time.
Nice song, but in my opinion sending 2 years in a row the same partcipant which won last year wasn't good for me.
@@frankk3636 True, i think the same.
Yes hahah
2010: Lena Free
2011: Lena Premium
That was good
Bak bu güzeldi
AHAHAHAHAHAH
😂😂nice 👏🏽👏🏽
She should have waited a few years and then participated with this song. It's outstanding but no one wants to vote for a country which won last year. Personally, I think this song is not only better than Satellite but maybe even better than all winners of Eurovision in the last 10 years...
Seriously, better than Euphoria? It's good but Euphoria was outstanding.
***** why does everybody love euphoria sooo much??? I mean the song isnt bad but its not a winner for me
Urban Čivre That's music.
Everyone has his own opinion.
"no one wants to vote for a country which won last year"
Luxembourg 1972-1973
Israel 1978-1979
Ireland 1992-1993-1994
Come again?

This is one of the few times in Eurovision that I would consider a song too good for the contest. Its just stellar!
Yes just not bland or whacky enough
Frr
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, du hast einen der seltenen deutschen Kommentare gefunden!
Freut mich
Ja☺Danke☺Das habe ich gut gemacht.
Haha geil
bin so gut

I still love her music. The song "traffic lights " is very good!
I like it too
+Maik Peter or wild and free
If I Wasn’t Your Daughter is masterpiece!
@@facebook1272 !!!! Only good song from her
i love "the girl"
Compared to "Satellite", this is much more professional and mature, I think, from every point of view, but it's not as catchy and upbeat, so it didn't get as far ...
The Shard I dunno. This "Taken by a stranger, stranger things are starting to begin" has been in my head for a week or so
To be honest. If Germany wouldn‘t have won in 2010 then she would have maybe won with Taken by a stranger...
10 whole years late but I think it didn’t do as well because it’s just a… quiet song
This song is much better than "Satellite", in my opinion. For me this should've been in top 3
no at ESC 2010 you saw that she had fun not so here
Fun doesn't make satellite better... the lyrics and the music were just awful.
+Lordi Awa I don't think so.
+HexagonVorce That's your opinion... We're listening to her songs, we're not looking in that if she have fun or no...
I don't think so... "Satellite" has more power
One of the best Germany Entries ever !

She made Germany proud again. Awesome perfomance. Germany got 2 great results in 2010 and 2011 thanks to Lena.
The most impressive Eurovision performance so far
Dancing Condoms verry impressive ?
@@edv15 true 😂😂😂
Best song of that year. Se perfomed amazing, she deserved to win again. I love Satellite but in my opinion this son is much better. So underrated, maybe because it's a different style... Love it.
+Julián Ureña True.. Slovenia, Germany and UK best that year..
I also prefer this to Satellite.
yeah i agree with u. lena deserved to win in 2011 instead of 2010. manga deserved to win in 2010
i want lena to return so bad, specifically this ominous and mysterious lena
Underrated. This is a little masterpiece.
This performance makes me question my sexuality.
Because you fell in love with the dancing condoms?
Surri lein hahaha no, because she is hot as hell and I am gay.
Surri lein Dancing condoms... hahahah i can't!!!
xxxyagodlxxx She does look hot in this one. Almost like she's a different person from the girl who sang Satellite :P
xxxyagodlxxx hahaha my thoughts exactly
It's such a stylish, unique song...and even now, in 2016 it seems modern! For me it's a futuristic song like Rhythm Inside, or 1944! I prefer breakbeat and interesting voice))
Rhythm Inside was stunning
Even in 2021 is this song a masterpiece 😂
or City Lights & Love Injected
I like this song more then satelite tbh
You're not the only one.
Yes, you're right.
Nah
Nah, satellite is legendary.
satellite is the best
This was such a striking performance... I honestly believe she would've won if she hadn't already the previous year - being placed tenth is impressive already because people aren't likely to vote for the same winning artist and country twice in a row. This song takes some getting used to but it's one of those things you have to listen to again and again, after a while you just start to really feel the genius of it. Pure awesome, this.
People shouldn’t vote for a previous winner I think that’s totally valid. It’s so unfair
Maybe I've said this before, but visually, this is the best performance in ESC history. Hell, it doesn't even look like the ESC! (ESC-performances always looking cheap and gimmicky...)
Miljan Tanić hard rock hallelujah jeftino?
this aged like milk
Europe was not ready for this masterpiece!
Lena was robbed just because Germany were the host and she won recently in 2010. But this music is more iconic than the winner and those of the 9 above her in rankings
ESC wasn't ready for this
The fact that this didn't even get any 12 points is preposterous.
Fan fact: this song is away better than her winning one.
*way better
We want LENA back for Eurovision
the real winner for me. A unique and modern song, Lena was fabulous once again. Great camera shots, make-up, stage performance.
2022... after all these years... still ahead of time. EPIC!
This is Iconic, way better than satellite in my opinion, this should have been Lena's second win
I prefer this to Satellite, but that was an obvious winner in 2010, unfortunate how this was so ahead of it’s time…
Same
At first glance, the performance may seem to be a bit ... "strange" (:P), but if you look at it again exactly, that's just pure genius!
The song stands out clearly from the ESC mainstream and the mixture of the cool sound, lighting effects and Lena's great charisma is just awesome!
Exactly!
This would probably smash and win in eurovision 2022 :)
Sadly I disagree. Look how the juries treated monika Liu. Only 35 points💀 ridiculous
This song is on a whole different level. One of the best esc songs ever.
This was probably the only "risky" Eurovision entry from Germany. Nowadays they just send generic crap.
She deserved back to back win, if Germany wants to win again they must bring Lena back, she won most of the crowd with her performance
This is true
Am I the only one who liked much more this one than Sattelite?
You‘re not!
So much better imo
2010 She's cute
2011 She's hot
One of the greatest Eurovision performances of all time. Lena really deserved her second win in a row!
True winner of ESC 2011!!
Great song, perfect and iconic performance! Truly one of the best songs in ESC ever, wish I could give it 12 points!
No

Mucho
if she had not participated the previous year, she would have won, to this day I still love it!
In a parallel universe, Turkey won in Eurovision 2010 and this one won the 2011
The song is so ahead of its time
In love with the creepiness of this song. The stage and the choreography fit in perfectly. One of my favourite ESC entries ever. Much more creative and sophisticated than the winner song by Lena. I guess it's the matter of taste.
It's amazing to see how Lena grew as a performer in the space of one year. From one rather awkward albeit sweet girl to this confident performer who keeps you spellbound with what seems like no effort. This song is so chill and cool. One of the night's best performances, and a well-deserved 10th placer for Germany.
Best! From 2022 Moscow with love🖤🖤🖤
Anyone else think she looks a bit like Victoria Beckham (The face not hair)?
It’s like Lena time traveled to the future to win the 2020 contest.
Germany really lived up to the Big5 epithet between 2010-2012 (then they really got lost sadly...). This one should have brought Germany and Lena a back-to-back win!!
If She Did Thet She Will Become Miss Eurovision
I think it's better than satellite
Story:
Satellite: Lena has a crush
Taken By A Stranger: They date but partner cheats on Lena
The first time I heard this song was it randomly coming on shuffle when studying earlier this year. When I found out it was a decade old I was really surprised. It still sounds extremely modern and after getting into ESC, that can not be said by a lot of the other 2011 entries
this song would get much better than 10th nowadays
What happened to Lena's 2011 win? It was taken by a stranger, probably.
To be honest, this is way better than Satellite. Beautiful, mysterious and unexpected composition. Exceptionally well done!
she's so sexy
:D
Seven years later and this song is still fresh. It was clearly ahead of his time in 2011.
i think that song needed a high point. She would have won with a nice bridge followed by her screaming around. Plus a nice lightshow.
people are blind for aesthetics - they just care about an emotional climax because thats what stays in mind. sad sad

That one was from 2011. MaNga competed in 2010. Lena became 10th in 2011. Anyways both Turkey and Germany were overrated back in 2010. All Turks insists on MaNga but I strongly oppose that. Azerbaijan, Romania, Denmark, Armenia, Greece and even Belgium was way better than both Turkey and Germany. Especially Azerbaijan, Romania and Denmark were so amazing that one of them should have won
kusura bakmayında bu 2010 daki lena danda mangadanda daha iyi bence :d
still love this-- the best part is right at the end when she breaks into a big smile and you can see it's still the same Lena from 2010 under the ultra-cool persona of the song :) she's like an actress playing an opposite role
Alice Christine awww, yeah. Thats so adorable!
I'm from Germany and I love Lena, I really do 💖. For me this song was more interesting than "Satellite". It definitely showed a new facet of her. While it was a good performance, I can tell you she was pretty burned out at that point. She could be happy with 10th place. In general, I'm proud of her for not resting on the ESC. She supposedly had her career peak the year before, but she has evolved and changed over the years and is still playing sold out venues and has had three big hits in the past few years alone. I think it's not the easiest thing to stay relevant in pop music. You can like her or not, but you have to give some credit for that 😉.
this was the best song of 2011
This song is so fascinating that it is always in my head since this performance 2011
love this song way more than satellite
She is a great singer!Love her music!Greetings from Greece!
Lena is the queen of esc
13 years after and I can say that this song is the best germany ever sent to eurovision

Lena 2011: 😈🖤🕳💣
This was Just too good for Eurovision 💥💥💥
Love the way she sang from 2:49
This could win in 2017 but it was too dark in 2011. Lena is such a beauty ♥
By far the best entry of 2011. Dark, sensual, edgy, avant-garde. Another time, Europe proved its bad taste by not giving the first place to this masterpiece.
2010: Yay happy satellite cute (but good)
2011: Mysterious eerie weird music (but good)
she came to 2011 to show us that she was a deserved winner of ESC. Talent.
Was my favorite in 2011, still loving it today, one of my absolute favorite ESC tracks ❤️
