After 3 disastrous years, Germany are ready to shoot back up that leaderboard!

Producers want to give international viewers a say. But instead of asking for their opinion only during the show, like in 2017, this time they will include them in the search right from the start.

 

A so-called Europe Panel will consist of 100 people representing the musical taste of Europe as a whole. It will be responsible for selecting the five candidates for the German final. They will evaluate every application and will judge all of the artists wishing to represent Germany. But that’s not all: the Europe Panel will also take part in the process of finding the potential Eurovision songs. And during the live show they will also have a say in the outcome.

 

The German national final will get even more of a European vibe. For many years, various countries have liked to hear the opinions of an international jury while choosing their acts. This has been proven to be a successful way of selecting. So Germany will follow the lead: during the national final, an international jury consisting of 20-25 members will also have their say. All of them have already been members of their country’s national jury at Eurovision in the past, so they know what to do.

I just hope that with this rebrand, they make it simpler. The German NF is always so unnecessarily complicated with 2 songs per act or voting off an artist after a covers round. Just get 5 or so acts with a song each.

The German equivalent of The Sun has unoficially confirmed the six artists through to the German NF. Write up and preview of the stuff they've done before here.

 

Ivy Quainoo

Michael Schulte

Natia Todua

Rick Jurthe

Steal a Taxi

Voxxclub

 

Ivy and Michael have a couple BJSC entries to their name and are both from the first series of The Voice of Germany so they're likely the biggest names in the selection so keep an eye on them!

 

 

Ooh Ivy is fab so I'm rooting for her!

Michael Schulte is very good, I think he could bring a fantastic song to the table! A couple of my faves of his:

 

 

I don't need another Voice winner there, Jamie-Lee was worse enough. Voxxclub could be funny.

Joseph liking a basic white boy with shite hair, terrible songs and a penchant for a guitar? Well knock me down with a feather. I never would have guessed that! :o

The acts have now been confirmed and the list above is accurate except for Steal a Taxi not being involved, instead we have someone called Xavier Darcy (and he also ticks the guitar and awful hair boxes).
how will joseph know who to back now

Song titles have been revealed

 

Ivy Quainoo - House On Fire

Michael Schulte - You Let Me Walk Alone

Natia Todua - My Own Way

Ryk - You & I

voXXclub - I mog Di so

Xavier Darcy - Jonah

 

Ivy Quainoo's song is written by the same guy who's done Mariette's song for Melodifestivalen this year. All the songs will be available on 20th February.

 

The voting will be split equally three ways between an international jury (including Margaret Berger and Tinkara Kovac), a Europe panel jury who helped select the entries and the televote.

Well given the guy who's written Mariette's song has (I think) eight UK number one singles under his belt I've got high expectations for Ivy Quainoo's song.

 

Also if it's two thirds some kind of jury vote then I think that's Voxxclub sunk unless their song is a total banger.

I hope they do an English dub again who makes the host sound like they hate the process.
'House on Fire' is boring as shit. Will listen to the others later but instantly calling doom on this.
Prepared to be dragged for it but I actually really love voXXclub's entry. It's the late 90s German oompah band themed novelty song you never knew you were missing!

On the contrary Lex, voXXclub is the only memorable one of the lot. Oh Germany.
