Tim Bendzko, Mary Roos, Roman Lob, Anna Loos and Peter Urban will be in the expert jury.
What voting-power do they get? 50%? The televoters gets the other 50%?
Wow Ben Ivory's song! I had not given it a listen until now.. It's utterly fantastic!! Sounds like something Dead or Alive might put out today. I kept turning the volume up on my headphones. It was soo powerful, the lyrics, the music. Everything about it was empowering. The video was fantastic too. Tricky to predict how well this will go when live however.
The quality of this National Final is quite something. It would be such a damp squib if Cascada were to get it though, based on the quality of their song. Sure it's well produced for what it is but it's just soo unbelievably meh. It will be their popularity that gets them the ticket rather than their song thats for sure. Saint Lu or Ben Ivory would be incredible choices for Germany I think. They would instantly become my favourites of the year and would take quite some beating to better.
No, it will be 1/3 jury, 1/3 televoting, 1/3 online voting after the songs will be played on the ARD radio channels

Your post intrigued me, as I know you and I like a lot of the same ESC songs, so I listened to Ben Ivory. That is a hell of a song. Not normally my thing, but I really like it. Polished, high quality and surprisingly melodic.
Yes they were popular but they were very popular in the UK but they weren't as big in terms of chart success in Germany. A lot of UK forums I notice assume it's a done deal as they know who Cascada are and not the others. They assume a walkover which I doubt from the televotes and from that jury in particular I majorly doubt. The online voting not sure if non-Germans can vote?
Only 1/3 jury? Hmm, that's interesting. I guess there is no limit in the number of televotes you can give, but each vote will cost you money, right? What about online voting? One vote per IP?
