🇩🇪 Chefsache Heat 1 Qualifiers

Germany is back with a new national final for Eurovision! Stefan Raab, one of the Eurovision hosts from Düsseldorf 2011, is one of the creators of the show. He selected the songs for the national selection, and is also one of the main juries together with Elton, and Yvonne Catterfeld. The special jury of today was Max Mutzke, who represented Germany in 2004 and secured the eighth place with “Can’t Wait Untill Tonight”. 

The artists of heat 1 and 2 only perform a cover, or one of their own songs. The ones advancing towards the Semi-Final will perform their Eurovision entry there. 

These are the the qualifiers fully selected by the jury: 

Benjamin Braatz, Feuerschwanz, Julika, Abor & Tynna, Cage, Jonathan Henrich, and Cosby

We will see them perform their Eurovision entry in the Semi-Final on February 22nd.
