Tonight the German National Contest Unser Song für Malmö took place in the TUI Arena in Hannover.

Twelve acts performed a diverse selection of music. The voting process was first the results of online voting from nine ARD radio stations, next those from the five person expert jury and finally (once all the other votes were given) did the lines close, and we got the votes from the viewers by telephone/sms.

Each section had the same power with their top ten songs being allocated points in the traditional Eurovision manner, 12, 10 and then from 8-1.

Germany’s decision was to send Cascada to Malmö. She goes straight to the Grand Final on 18 May 2013 as Germany is one of the Big 5, qualifying directly.

Here’s the official video of the song Cascada Glorious

and the winning performance

I attended my first Eurovision Song Contest in 1995, and from 1996 presented daily live reports for radio stations from the event. Since then I have been providing material from everywhere the contest has been held. I also enjoy compiling most of the video materials for three UK ESC events each year. In 2010 I first provided material for esctoday.com.
