Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

"Glow" is EPIC! The interval act of 2010 is the BEST highlight of 2010's edition!
I can't imagine Lena singing something like this though...

It's official.

2 shows for Lena.

On January 31st and February 7th Lena will perform her songs in the 'Semi Final' and the big finale night will be on Friday Feburary 18th.

We don't have details on how many songs and the voting procedure as Stefan Raab and NDR are still working on it. We know that 12 songs (6 songs in each Semi)will go head to head but no further information on who will write those songs and the selection process. Stefan Raab will once again judge all of the songs along with a jury consiting of singers & producers.
The top 3 from each Semi will qualify for the finals.

The hosts will be once again Sabine Heinrich and Matthias Opdenhoevel who already hosted "Unser Star fuer Oslo".

Here's the esctoday article

NDR and ProSieben have confirmed the national selection format which will be used in order to select the song that will represent the host country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. The winner of this year's Europe favourite TV show, Lena Meyer-Landrut, will defend her crown in front of her home country audience and her entry will be picked from 12 songs shown in two semi finals.
By winning this year's Eurovision Song Contest, Germany has also won the right to host the next edition of the world famous event. Lena Meyer-Landrut will represent the host country in order to defend her Eurovision crown, following the example of the very first winner of the grand-prix, Miss Lys Assia who eventually finished on the second last position the year following her initial victory.

As expected, Stefan Raab will head the jury of Unser Song Für Deutschland and will decide upon the twelve songs that will be performed by Lena during the two semi finals broadcasted live by German commercial TV channell, Pro 7. Three songs of each semi final will qualify for the big final to be held on February 18 on NDR

So let´s see, if they will find a great song once again.
If the German viewers are such competent as last year, I will looking forward to Lena´s song allthough I would prefer a new singer on stage for Germany. But now we can´t change it any more and so I will cross my fingers for Lena (of course), that she will be successfull (in Top 10) again.

Using the formula Lena feat. someone else would be better at least.

Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

I hope for a song in German atleast for a change, afterall the contest is now to be held on German soil and generally German is an underrated language, I think it fits very well with music.

Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

I can´t imagine, that they will have the courage to sing in German. But I agree with you A-lister, that German is an underrated language. I can´t wait untill the end of January which songs Lena will sing.

Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

All 12 songs that are in the running will be available February 8th when Lena's new albume "Good News" will be released.

The two semi shows will be prior to that date (Jan 31st & Feb 7th) with the Finale on Feb 18th.

Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

I would like to see something diferent this year from Lena & Germany.
1)Diferent style of song
2)Not in english!German please!

I think that IF Lena repeats herself,she will definetelly not finish at the top10!

Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

^ ditto.

Anyway, I don't mind another Satellite-like song.
ps. Just don't choose Siegel, pliiiiz.

 

[Matt]

Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

There's no way they'll go with anything that has the name Siegel on it, I can guarantee you that

 

[anselm]

Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

Loool Lena would never sing a Siegel song

Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

nothing like satellite again please
send something worthy of eurovision
and in german
because her accent is pain to my ears
i bet she would sound good in german

 

[Mickey]

Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

I've never understood the problem with Lena's accent or anyone else's accent for that matter.

Is it because she's trying an English accent and it sounds wrong? As far as I can tell, Lena sings with a German accent, which is fair enough, considering she's German.

Re: DEUTSCHLAND - Germany 2011 - Lena

it just sounds really annoying
but i bet in german it would sound realy cool
i just dont like english being so chopped up by a singer
thats just me though
