Germany: Extended deadline for submissions and the first artists

The deadline for submitting applications for “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”, the national competition through which the country’s representative for the upcoming Eurovision contest will be chosen, has been extended, according to an official announcement from Germany’s public broadcaster NDR. Consequently, prospective artists now have until October 15 to submit their suggestions as opposed to the initial deadline of October 5.

The rest of the rules, which are covered in our pertinent article, remain unchanged.

Furthermore, the first potential artists have been revealed:

Melissa Mantzoukis

Greek-German singer Melissa Mantzoukis, gained popularity in Germany as a result of her participation in Idol 2022. She attempted to represent Greece in the contest this year with the song “Liar,” which she did not manage to do, despite receiving a strong first-place rating from the audience committee of 70 people. The song that she submitted to NDR, based on what we know, has nothing to do with her participation this year.

ALLY

Allison Bonnefoy, better known as Ally, has already tried her hand at the Eurovision stage, through her participation in the Austrian national final in 2015. Her most recent works are electronic in nature, such as “Humanity,” which is also one of her entries for “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”.

Apollson

Apollson is a rising star in the German music industry who has found considerable success on streaming services. In a video posted on TikTok a few days ago, he expressed interest in participating in this year’s German selection process by using the hashtag #EurovisionGermany2024.

Florian Suerie / ARTISTWITHOUTANAME

Florian Suerie recently announced his interest in entering the competition by sharing an acoustic version of his potential proposal on his personal Facebook page. The song has currently been recorded in both English and German, but it has not yet been released in its final form.

The 14-member choir Spielhagen has taken the tagline “Club meets Choir” and specializes in performing disco music. The song “Love On The Dancefloor (Oh Lala Love)” was recorded by six of them and serves as their proposal for “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”.

Germany was represented this year by Lord of the Lost and the song “Blood and Glitter”. The band, which is well-known in Germany, came in last place overall, with a total of 18 points. Will Germany be able to recover from its string of poor results and move to the left side of the leaderboard?
