Today, NDR has released the official participants list of Germany 12 Points!, the German national final which will take place on 12th March in Berlin. With only one correction, the list is nearly the same as the one esctoday.com published yesterday after it was spread by newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt.

This is the official participant list of Germany 12 Points!

� Mia Aegerter – Alive
� Allee der Kosmonauten – Dein Lied
� Ellen ten Damme – Plattgeliebt
� Stefan Gwildis – Wunderschönes Grau
� Königwerq – Unschlagbar
� Murphy Brothers – Picking Up The Pieces
� Orange Blue – A Million Teardrops
� Under One Flag – A Miracle Of Love
� Villaine – Adrenalin

Negotiations are still going on about a possible tenth participant. Additionally, up to two wildcards will be given to recent top 40 chart acts in early February, bringing the number of participants up to a maximum of 12.

Germany 12 Points, which will take place on 12th March in the Treptow Arena in Berlin, will again have a super final. In the first round, the public can vote out ten of the twelve songs. In the second round, televoters have to decide between the last two finalists.

The German representative for Kiev will be decided by televoting and SMS. All entries will be introduced by prominent 'godfathers', including f.ex. singer Heinz-Rudolf Kunze for Allee der Kosmonauten or Udo Lindenberg presenting Ellen ten Damme. Last year's winner Ruslana, french singer Patricia Kaas, Leonid Agutin from Russia and Al di Meola (USA) are guest stars of the show.

Germany is directly qualified for the final in Kiev.
