/0 Comments/in , /by

On Sunday, October 15, the entry period for “Deutsche Finale 2024”, the national competition through which the German representative for the upcoming Eurovision contest will be chosen, came to a close.

The German broadcaster NDR reports that 693 proposals in total were submitted. In particular, 475 solo singers, 71 duets and 127 bands aspire to participate on the German national selection. Information on the upcoming stages of the evaluation as well as the final list of songs that will compete on February 18 will be released soon.

This year, interested artists also had the option of submitting proposals by sharing their song on TikTok with the hashtag #UnserLiedFürLiverpool. Over 900 videos were published, several of which were not considered serious proposals.

Greek-German singer Melissa Mantzoukis is one of the artists who submitted for the German national final. Melissa gained popularity in Germany, through her participation in Idol 2022 . This year, she attempted to represent Greece in the competition with the song “Liar,” but she ultimately did not manage to do so even though the 70-member audience committee gave her a solid first-place ranking. The information we have indicates that the song she submitted to NDR has nothing to do with her participation this year.

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?

Jørgen Olsen, one of the Eurovision 2000 winners for Denmark, plans to compete in the competition once more this year, but this time as Germany’s representative.

The singer particularly submitted a song in collaboration with German vocalist Alexandra Hofmann. In fact, the latter stated that she had pushed Jørgen to make this decision.

The deadline for submission of applications for the “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”, the national final through which Germany’s entry for the upcoming competition will be selected, ended last week. The songs are currently in the evaluation stage.

Along with his brother Niels, Jørgen Olsen represented Denmark in the 2000 Eurovision, winning the first place with 195 points. Since then, he has attempted to return in the contest twice, in 2005 and 2007, without however achieving it. Would you like to see Jørgen Olsen return to Eurovision ?

Germany: Lord Of The Lost will try to compete again in Eurovision!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Lord Of The Lost represented Germany in Eurovision 2023 with their song “Blood And Glitter”. After winning the German national selection with a huge televoting margin, they brought heavy metal to Eurovision stage.

Actually, “Blood And Glitter” was not their first Eurovision attempt. Lord Of The Lost also applied for the German national selection in 2022, without making it to the final line-up. In fact, the song that they submitted, “One Last Song“, was recently released.

With this song we applied for the German Finals for the 2022 ESC in Turin. If you remember, in 2022 it was not part of the German ESC concept to have rock or metal be part of the competition, so we did not make it to the German Finals back then. Same thing happened with Pump It” by our colleagues of @electriccallboy. Besides a basic studio version of our song, we also produced a ruff acoustic demo, which you can actually hear on our ESC Edition of the ‘Blood & Glitter’ album.

Although finishing last with “Blood And Glitter”, Lord Of The Lost are not discouraged to try again and compete in the future, as they announced via an Instagram post of theirs. Nevertheless, bearing in mind the numerous Eurovision covers they were sharing on social media, Lord Of The Lost must love the contest and the message of unity it represents.

What a ride, what a great time. Euro-fans: be sure we will try to compete again in the future! 

 

Unfortunately, Lord Of The Lost did not succeed in overturning the tables for Germany, a country that struggles a lot in its Eurovision course for the past ten editions. Indicatively, in the last ten editions, Germany has finished last four times and second-last three times.

/0 Comments/in , /by

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.


Spielhagen

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: Ralph Siegel wants to return to Eurovision!

/0 Comments/in , /by

German songwriter Ralph Siegel, who has 25 appearances at Eurovision under his belt—including the 1982 contest’s winning entry, “Ein bisschen Frieden”—has announced his intention to compete again in 2024.

More specifically, he mentioned that he has composed a song for Aileen Sager, which has been submitted to the German broadcaster, in order to claim the representation of the country.

“My dream is to win for Germany again. I’m working hard on that, standing in the studio day and night.”

Ralph Siegel is making his first try at participating in the competition in five years. His last entry was “Spirit of the night”, with which Valentina Monetta and Jimmie Wilson represented San Marino at Eurovision 2017, finishing in last place in the semi-final.

Germany: Will Melissa Mantzoukis participate at “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Melissa Mantzoukis did not get to compete in this year’s Eurovision, but she hopes to do so in 2024 through Germany. According to our exclusive information, she has already registered for ‘Das Deutsche Finale 2024’, the national final that will be held by the country’s public television to select the performer and song that will represent the country in Malmö.

The performer, who finished third in the German Idol competition in 2022, came close to representing Greece this year. She won by a wide margin in the voting of the 70-member audience committee, but the 7 members of the ERT panel had a different take, and by ranking her last, they denied her entry into the competition. As a result, the nation was ultimately represented by Victor Vernicos, who failed to advance past the semifinals after scoring just 14 points, 12 of which came from Cyprus. The ERT’s choice issue is currently before the courts because Melissa Mantzoukis’ side considered that the rules of the procedure were broken and that she should ordinarily have won. In the coming year, a decision is anticipated.

Melissa Mantzoukis made the decision to try her luck in Germany by competing in the national final, which will be held on February 16, in order to put all that behind and follow her dream of competing in the Eurovision contest. Our information indicates that the entry she submitted has nothing to do with her participation in this year’s ERT internal selection procedure.

We, for our part, wish Melissa good luck and hope to see her waving the German flag in Malmö!
