GERMANY 2013 - Cascada - Glorious

Re: GERMANY 2013

Maybe Frida Gold or Glasperlenspiel, I'm sure they would get a very good result in Eurovision...

But I don't know any other group or singer who sings in german and who could do well in Sweden, which is quite sad... :/

So, I'd say: FRIDA GOLD or GLASPERLENSPIEL or MANDY CAPRISTO or CASCADA for GERMANY in SWEDEN 2013!

Re: GERMANY 2013

The problem is just... exactly that is Germany. We just don't really have something like... culture. What do we have?

Neue Deutsche Welle?(Nena,Trio,Peter Schilling,Spider Murphy Gang, purple schulz, D.Ö.F., Joachim Witt?

I love Bündesvision and I wish they would use it for ESC.

Well, regardless of the selection method, let me say to Germany: keep up the good work! Three top 10 placings in three years, that's amazing for a (historical) Big 4 country and I feel Germany is the first of them to understand that ESC has changed since the Nineties. I'm eagerly waiting for the UK, France and Spain (and Belgium, BTW) to do the same... LOL!

Wow, Thank you for that.

Many German Hip-Hop acts and I think After the 90's it's getting better again.

Xaver=Xavier Naidoo and Kool Savas... Very suprised, but excited about that!
Der König tanzt= Awesome König Boris
Also I heard of Ich kann fliegen and Luxuslärm.

Very suprised that this year there are no real 'BIG' acts and mainly newcomers.

I have to listen to that all day long
Die Orsons - Jetzt

Die Orsons said that they would love to take part in a german national final.

Re: GERMANY 2013

Yes? I think they are very talented, but it's very much about lyrics, people wouldn't get that kind of music, it's the same with Deichkind or even Trackshittaz

Re: GERMANY 2013

Good selection. I like the fact that there are mostly newcomers instead of well-known top-acts. This way one cannot conclude beforehand which act is likely to win. The only thing I find a bit strange is that "Die Orsons" represent the Saarland. Aren't they all Swabians

Thought so, too. But Xavier is the "more important" act from Baden-Württemberg. And they can still pretend that Cro comes from there.

Re: GERMANY 2013

Yes, but it's obvious that Xavier Naidoo + Kool Savas or Cro are gonna win

 

[PeterLPZ]

Re: GERMANY 2013

I´m sure about that, too

 

[Venage]

Re: GERMANY 2013

I guess it is not important for the newcomers to win anyway but to get a lot of publicity like Kraftklub last year. They may not have won, but they saw a huge boost in popularity which helped them to get their album to the top of the charts As the top acts are going to win either way, it is not a humiliation for them and therefore they are likely to participate in the Bundesvision in the future in contrast to the Eurovision where a last place can destroy careers rather quickly.

 

[Sandri]

Re: GERMANY 2013

Yes I agree with that. Without Bundesvision Kraftklub never became that BIG. I hope for 'die Orsons'! Their featuring with Cro is brilliant, because he is well known and good German Hip-Hop on #2 .. Awesome, okay but 'Easy' Is everywhere. Maybe he gonna Push the guys.

Kaas is living in Saarland. This is their big chance, no matter which Bundesland they're starting for.

 

[Venage]

Re: GERMANY 2013

Right, it really doesn't matter which Bundesland they're starting for. In the Bundesvision there is thankfully no bloc voting and therefore it doesn't really matter which Bundesland wins. If the act is good each Bundesland will have the chance to win, but if they are awful not even their own Bundesland will vote for itself

Did I miss something or is there a hope that Bundesvision would become a selection method for Eurovision? I really hope so, it is MEANT to be that way!

No, I don't think so. But it would be awesome

It surely would be, and most of all it would be LOGICAL! I can't believe you already HAVE a concept for national selection method, but never used it... instead we get this Idol copy instead

Re: GERMANY 2013

We also have 367478 other casting shows.

Stefan Raab introduced The Bundesvision Songcontest in 2005 after Max Mutzke 8th place. His idea was a show AGAINST Eurovision, because he was angry about that result, so he thought he's (or Germany) gonna do his own thing.

Maybe this is the reason, why it isn't the National Final and at least 50% of vocals have to be in German and a German song for Germany is some years ago... and in the previous years only 'Molitva' did well

Stefan Raab is a fool (no surprise here really). 8th place for that generic song was EXTREMELY good imo (also considering it was 100% televoting back then). How is it "anti-Eurovision" when it's a national COPY of Eurovision?

So what if most songs are in German? The ESC entry should represent Germany shouldn't it? I mean Germany is always sending American or British products (in terms of songwriters, composers and yeah language aswell), it's getting kind of boring to be honest.

In 2012 3/5 songs in the final top. 5 were 100% in native language, the runner-up was 50/50. People tend to forget that in a contest with 40+ entrants, a top. 10 is GOOD, so one should not just blindly focus on the winning songs only as an argument for or against any type of entry.

Anyways, I'm certain we'll get another talent show and another American import product, but I would hope for something more interesting and representative of the German music scene in 2012. We'll see...
