It's countdown time for the Germans! Tomorrow they will select their entry for the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest during the live show Germany 12 Points!. In Berlin, the first rehearsals took place.

The polls
Polls… they might be right, they might not even come close to the actual outcome. Nevertheless, it's nice to take a look at them. Orange Blue leads with 20,4 percent, immediately followed by Gracia with 19,8 percent. Far behind them we can find Allee der Kosmonauten with 12,9 percent of the votes. Down the street we can find the Murphy Brothers with only 3,3 percent of the votes.

Rehearsals
To make sure everything goes well during tomorrow's live show, camera rehearsals already have taken place. You can find photos of the rehearsals on the official German Eurovision Song Contest site. You can also find some photo material of Ruslana's rehearsal.
