Tonight: First elimination round in Germany

Germany is going to continue its performer selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 tonight with the first elimination round of Unser Star fü being held. Ten acts will compete and two of them will be eliminated from the competition.

The show

The show to be broadcast on Pro 7 will start at 20:15 CET and it will be hosted by Sandra Rieß and Steven Gätjen.

The running order will be determined by the first intermediate result: The person with the lowest number of votes is going to perform first and the person with the highest number of votes is going to perform last. The current results will be displayed throughout the whole voting sequence.


How to watch? 

There will be no official webcast, but all performances will appear on the official website shortly after the show.

  • Roman Lob
  • Céline Huber

I have the feeling we should give it up - in the end we could loose lovely Roman ;-)

Benny,yes!It's very unpredictable the outcome.It seems that during the last minutes of the televoting anything can happen and an outsider may win the whole thing just because people want to save it.

They all suck and sing poorly, even by Idol-standards. Basically this won't be a voice/talent contest, but a popularity contest. I'll try to find a favourite after they've performed some more songs, but it's very hard to pick any of them. :P

Yes Dimitris is looks simple, but you know our nervous voting system just kicks off who "it" wants, it seems.

I wanna see more of Shelly and Roman tonight, but no hectic voting-system, which knocks out the favourites.
