Re: GERMANY 2018

Im a bit surprised. In This Interview Thomas Schreiber said that they wouldnt collaborate with "The Voice" since this Show never brought a Hit except I.Q.s First Album and because of the Flops with Jamie Lee and Andreas Kümmert.

I'm looking forward for Ryk, Michael Schulte and Ivy Quainoo, hope they all get good songs. I don't know how Natia Todua could make it to the Top 6, as she probably didn't attend the workshop.

Maybe that's why there are 6 finalists and 5 like announced earlier, she's perhaps a kind of wildcard or something like that.

Re: GERMANY 2018

The Problem is that she has an unfair advantage, since she has the Momentum on her Side. The same Problem was with Jamie Lee who definitely did not have the best song and won only because of this.

Re: GERMANY 2018

Thomas Schreiber's statement on the article: (as seen on the prinz-blog)
- until now 4 finalists are set and confirmed their participation
- they will publish all of them, as soon as all are confirmed
- not everything in the article is true (so probably at least one wrong name)
- there is no wildcard

its sad how the media destroys it all. I myself am sad that Lara Loft didnt make the cut, if everything is true so far, but at the end of the day the songs are important. We'll see what the national final brings. I wished they chose 10-12 acts instead of such a low number. But seriously, Ivy had a hit and didnt get any support .. I mean, why the media is hating on all of them so much? -.-

I for one would love to see my favourite redhead participating one day xpray


He is still relatively unknown, although he deserves so much more attention, which he could easily gain through Eurovision. He doesn't need other people to write songs for him, as he's an amazing composer himself (imo), got a very pleasant voice - and is incredibly handsome, hrhr. He's probably not the type to stand out with crazy staging or unusual songs and goes more into the "radio-friendly" direction, but I'm pretty sure the whole package wouldn't be as dull as Levina's or unfitting as Jamie-Lee's xthink

Ahahahaha :D If it’s true that Michael is at the Vorentscheid, you may as well bury me, I’m so happy! :D
And sad for Lara, she’s great live and has a very charming presence. Really wonder how she didn't make it through, I actually rate her above Ivy.

What do you honestly expect in from a country where their recent record is 'LAST-LAST-SECOND LAST BY 1 POINT' ? The media are always the first to judge, and it can be just as brutal here. They're not about to hype Eurovision when i'm fairly sure it is trash in Germany again.

But this doesnt justify the unobjective B*Sh*t they are writing every year imo.

True, I myself study journalism and media management. I am really ashamed of how they write about it. I mean, is it too difficult to write objectively? I mean, its probably meant to be in a funny way, but I am so bored by the fact that they dont give new people a chance. Its like, Levina couldve made it far with a better song, with better staging. But they try to make it up to success in Germany, thats not relevant if they have a great song to present at Eurovision. I hate the lack of support here,

No it doesn't justify it at all, but that is just how things go. They feed the opinion of the masses and get reads. It's what they do.

You all really need go desensitize yourself from pointless tabloid trash and carry on. You enjoy yourself and let the other ill-informed morons do their bit.

Re: GERMANY 2018

LOL, it's hilarious to see the national media bitching about the quality of the contestants. Do they not have any self-awareness at all? I mean, I am just as tired of the casting show cast-offs as the next person, but maybe if the stupid media AND fans hadn't torpedoed Xavier Naidoo's candidacy 2 years ago, we wouldn't be in this mess right now. Thanks to that crap, no established German artist wants to touch ESC with a 10-foot pole because they all fear that they could face a similar backlash and they know from past experience that NDR doesn't stand by it's artists. They leave them high and dry instead.

Uhm sorry but no. Nominating Xavier Naidoo was one huge mistake by the NDR - that dude should be caged in a mental institution, instead of standing on the Eurovision stage.
Btw I was one of the "stupid fans" who "torpedoed" his candidacy.
That's not important anymore anyway ... the past is in the past, right? Let's see what happens next year. Can't get any worse ... I hope.

Re: GERMANY 2018

Xavier was the right Choice. Its ridiculous how many german Fans complain how political this Tournament is, but then want to have Xavier out for political Reasons although hes one of our most successful Singers. But in the End the german Fans got what they deserved 7 Months later.

Re: GERMANY 2018

We got our Top 6 for the National Final 2018:

No. 1: Xavier Darcy (probably with a French or English song)


No. 2: Ivy Quainoo (probably with a song similar to Wildfire) - 1st in The Voice of Germany 2011


No. 3: Ryk (I think the chance that "You and I" will be his song is 90%)


No. 4: Voxxclub (Fun-Act)


No. 5: Michael Schulte (3rd in The Voice of Germany 2011)


No. 6: Natia Todua (1st in The Voice of Germany 2017)

- No Song released yet -​

Re: GERMANY 2018

Out of those I would so far root for Schulte.

Ivy Quainoo is ok enough for Eurovision as well though.

No idea about the rest, and sadly the winner will likely be between those 4 :( but if they deliver something more chocolate than vanilla then I'd be down for it ;)
