Germany: Changes in the selection process for Eurovision?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

TV producers Stefan Raab and Daniel Rosemann have pitched a new idea to the four major German TV channels (ARD, ZDF, RTL and ProSieben) to work together to select Germany’s Eurovision entry.

This program will include ZDF, RTL and ProSieben each hosting a semi-final with the finalists progressing to the grand final, broadcasted on Das Erste. All networks are interested, but no final decision will be made until this year’s competition is over.

According to the plan, all the shows will be produced by the same studio. However, each broadcaster can organize their evening according to their own ideas. The winners of these three programs will compete in the final at Erste to get their ticket for Eurovision .

Whether ARD will select its own candidates before the German final is negotiable. There are still different ideas about what exactly the joint project will bring from the participating broadcasters, such as the details of the organization and the amount of money.

There is also a reason why the decision will take some time. They want to see how Germany will perform at this year’s Eurovision in Malmö in May. A success of Isaak would give the prospect of a new attempt.

Germany will be represented this year by Isaak with the song “Always On The Run” .

Will Germany manage to avoid the last place in the final? Tell us in the comments below!

Germany: Ryk talks about his sadness regarding the results of Das Deutsche Finale 2024!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ryk is the artist that ended up in third place of Das Deutsche Finale 2024, the German national final for Eurovision 2024, and he commented bitterly on the results of the final.

The artist that begun as a favourite to win the German representation in Malmö, with his song “Oh Boy”, but after the fifth place in the international jury and the third place in the televoting, his win, was impossible. A loss that gave birth to many reactions.

In post in his personal Instagram account, he stated that:

“From the very bottom of my heart, I want to thank every single one of you for all the love, the support and the kindness you have shown me. It was the greatest pleasure and a huge honor to perform on that stage for a second time and for dreaming this dream anew. I am convinced that everything happens for a reason – but I can’t deny that my heart is broken.

Time is a great healer though! And this chapter is closed for now. I am thankful for an amazing experience, for new friends, for inspiring encounters and I am very proud of the piece of music and the act we created around it – I felt at home in my Northern Lights universe.

There’s a new path ahead of me waiting to be discovered and I can’t wait to see what happens along the way. For now I will head back up north into the Swedish forests to make peace with myself. And I will come back with a cleared mind, a loving heart and new melodies.”

Germany: Isaak and “Always On The Run” to Eurovision 2024!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Das Deutsche Finale 2024 is officially over and Germany now has its own artist, for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest, in May in Malmö, Sweden! The winner of the Grand Final of Das Deutsche Finale 2024 was Isaak with the song “Always On The Run” and will wave the German flag, as successor of Lord of the Lost!

Eight artists, who were selected by the German public broadcaster, as well as one more artist selected through the TV show “Ich Will Zum ESC!”, claimed the win in Das Deutsche Finale 2024, and at the same time the country’s representation in Eurovision 2024. In the end after the jury and the televote, the long-awaited representative of the country in this year’s contest was finally selected!

Barbara Schöneberger was once again the host of the German national final.

The show

The show started with a beautiful opening act by Barbara Schöneberger, pretending to be Loreen, and stepping on stage under the music of “Tattoo”. Αfter that, the nine contestants walked on the stage, in the style of a “Flag Parade”.

After that, the competition part of the national final started:

NinetyNine – “Love on a budget”

A very radio-friendly, mid-tempo song, that really doesn’t seem to be the one that will break the negative streak of Germany, but a great start for the show overall.

Leona – “Undream you”

A very beautiful ballad, written by Elsie Bay (MGP 2022, 2023), that the crowd in the studio seemed to have liked a lot, as the applauses didn’t stop for the whole performance.

Isaak Guderian – “Always on the run”

Great vocals, on a song that could give germany a result, much better than the previous years, under conditions.

GALANT – “Katze”

A very clever staging, on a somewhat weird song, that could very much be a joke entry.

Floryan – “Scars”

The wildcard of this year’s national final. Floryan performed a moving ballad that the crowd loved, and could easily be tonight’s surprise.

Bodine Monet – “Tears like rain”

Bodine is the second favourite for tonight’s win. A very beautiful performance, with vocals on point, that the crowd loved

RYK – “Oh boy”

The favourite to win the national final, gives a majestic performance with great vocals, but is that enough to give him the ticket to Malmö?

Marie Reim – “Naiv”

An amazing performance by Marie, that could easily get Germany out of the last places, and at the same time, being the first song they select in German after 2007.

Max Mutzke – “Forever strong”

The last performance of the night. Max Mutzke returns after 20 years and hopes to give Germany a result as good as the one he got back in Istanbul 2004.

The final result, was determined by 50% by the voting of the German public, and 50% by a series of international jury. In detail, the result of the international jury are:

  • Switzerland gave 12 points to Ryk
  • Croatia gave 12 points to Bodine Monet
  • Spain gave 12 points to Marie Reim
  • Lithuania gave 12 points to Max Mutzke
  • The United Kingdom gave 12 points to Isaak
  • Iceland gave 12 points to Galant
  • Austria gave 12 points to Isaak
  • Sweden gave 12 points to Ryk

The Jury votes for the German national final!

During the counting of the public votes, we watched a tribute to ABBA, by Barbara Schöneberger and the contestants of the national final.

The voting of the public gave the maximum 12 points to Isaak, giving him the ticket to Eurovision 2024!
