The peak of the contest in Germany may very well have been the 1998 version. Guildo Horn started out his campaign for the nomination as a very controversial singer. He was criticized for his lack of seriousness and his 'average' looks. However, public opinion soon turned and Horn won the nomination with over 60% of the vote. Leading up to the Eurovision Contest the Guildo-Fever spread even more across Germany and the event was front page material for over a week leading up to the contest. Horn was noticed in other countries as well and the early criticism found in Germany resurfaced in newspapers across Europe. Horn performed together with his band the Orthopädischen Strümpfe, singing Guildo Hat Euch Lieb!, written by Stefan Raab. Even though the seventh place finish was disappointing to many in Germany it was a revival for the Eurovision Contest within the country and was the beginning of four consecutive top ten finishes. Since that time, Raab has featured in two other Contests. Two years after writing "Guildo Hat Euch Lieb", he performed in the over-the-top "Wadde Hadde Dudde Da?". Four years after that, he wrote Max's entry "Can't Wait Until Tonight".
