Online voting began on Thursday in Germany, where the 12 songs for ‘Unser Song für Malmö’ are being aired on regional radio stations in the lead up to the national from then. The radio voting counts for 33% of the scores, with the public getting a 33% say on the night and a jury casting the remaining 33%.

 

You can listen to, and vote for, the songs through the following radio stations’ websites: Bayern 3, Bremen Vier, 1LIVE (WDR), Fritz (RBB), HR 3, MDR Jump, NDR 2, SR 1 Europawelle, SWR3. The jury vote will be awarded by Tim Bendzko, Roman Lob, Anna Loos, Mary Roos and Peter Urban.

 

It seems that the online voting is working internationally so for the links to vote on these websites, click here: http://escxtra.com/2013/02/online-voting-begins/

So... who's watching?

I will be, even though it will probably be Sohne Mannheims :( I actually wouldn't mind if it was Cascada, Malmo BADLY needs some star power at this point.

My ranking:

 

[AMAZING]

01. Betty Ditrich - La La La

02. Mobilee - Little Sister

 

[GOOD]

03. Finn Martin - Change

 

[MIDDLE]

04. Ben Ivory - The Righteous Ones

05. Blitzkids mvt. - Heart On The Line

06. Nica & Joe - Elevated

08. Cascada - Glorious

09. Die Priester feat. Mojca Erdmann - Ave maris stella

 

[sHIT]

10. Mia Diekow - Lieblingslied

11. Söhne Mannheims - One Love

12. Saint Lu - Craving

 

 

 

My ranking:

 

[sHIT]

10. Mia Diekow - Lieblingslied

11. Söhne Mannheims - One Love

12. Saint Lu - Craving

So one of these 3 are going to win, then? I've not heard the songs so I can't judge them. POOR BRAVE CASCADA :cry:

Well, after initially being fairly nonplussed about Glorious, I absolutely love it now! Really hope it wins tonight, although I do like all the entries apart from Söhne Mannheims.

 

Cascada and Ben Ivory appear to be the favourites tonight. From what I've read, they are doing the best in the polls. The Amazon sales ranking for the singles is quite interesting too...

 

#34 Ben Ivory

#47 Cascada

#51 Blitzkids.mvt

#52 Saint Lu

#72 Finn Martin

#73 Nica & Joe

#90 Betty Dittrich

#95 Söhne Mannheims

 

Mobilee's entry has been out for months so it's hard to tell how popular their song will be, it's currently way down the sales rank though. Mia Diekow and Die Priester haven't released singles for their entries and LaBrassBanda seems to be doing absolutely nothing at all.

Wow, I hope that's the top 3 tonight :o

It would be the perfect top 3, although LaLaLa is growing on me so much :wub:

LaLaLa is the 2013 NF guilty pleasure for me! And TBH anything other than 'One Love' will do at this rate!

LaBrassBanda is in the iTunes top 100 according to kworb :lol: Cascada the only other one.

Those Amazon rankings were for the physicals.

 

Are far as Amazon downloads go, not all the songs have been released yet, but the following are in the top 100:

 

#14 & #66 Cascada

#23 Ben Ivory

#34 Mia Diekow

#35 Blitzkids.mvt

#39 Betty Dittrich

#97 Saint Lu

 

And that's it. Finn Martin, Die Priester and Mobilee are the other entries that are available to buy.

YAY a Eurovision selection to watch tonight. WOOOO

Blitzkids PLEASE WIN. Otherwise I'll never forgive Germany.

I really hope Cascada doesn't win. Glorious is terribly dull. :(

 

Mia or Betty to win please. (Wouldn't mind Blitzkids or Ben Ivory either though)

Starting now! Hoping for Cascada but there's a few I wouldn't mind winning as well.

Loreen :3

I forgot how brilliant 'Satellite' really is. :wub:

Typical old footage and badly chosen examples for music genres :lol:

Eeeek. That was boring. :(

01. Finn Martin - Change 6.5/10

02. Mobilée - Little Sister 7/10

 

Good start!
