Re: GERMANY 2013
The german preselection will be broadcasted live from Cologne on February 22nd at 20.15 on ARD, produced by Jörg Grabosch (Brainpool) for NDR/ARD and hosted by famous comedians Anke Engelke and Bastian Pastewka. Lena Meyer-Landrut & Miss Li and Roman Lob will be special guests as well as ESC-winner Loreen and german Volksmusik stars Wolfgang & Anneliese Funzfichler.
The biggest german record labels were invited to submit their proposals. A jury with NDR and Brainpool staff selected the ten final acts: Anna Depenbusch (105music), Die Höchste Eisenbahn (Tapete), Die Orsons (Chimperator), Frittenbude (Audiolith), Jennifer Rostock (Warner), Kraftklub (Universal), Materia & Yasha & Miss Platnum (Sony), Oceana (Embassy of Sound), Tim Neuhaus & The Cabinet (Grand Hotel van Cleef), Xandria (Drakkar).
All in all 18 record labels suggested 57 artists. Some of the acts who didn’t make it are Sharyhan Osman (Sony), Mark Forster (Sony), Jan Sievers (Sony), Supershirt (Audiolith) and BigSoul (Ariola).
