Eurovision.de finally has given us the date when the seven “nationally well-known artists” for Unser Song für Österreich will be announced — and it’s sooner than you think! Officials in Germany will reveal the list on Wednesday, January 14. The eighth “wildcard” act will be chosen in a club concert, taking place in Hamburg, on February 19. As we all know, last year’s wildcard winner Elaiza beat some of Germany’s biggest stars in last year’s final and represented Germany in Copenhagen.
The seven artists have been chosen by representatives from German broadcaster NDR, the production company Brainpool and the record labels Sony, Universal and Warner, together with some independent labels and radio stations.
The big final of Unser Song für Österreich will take place in Hannover on March 5.
We have already named some of the artists we would like to see performing in Hannover, but who do you want to see among the seven? Let us know in the comments section below.
If Oonagh are in, I hope they have something just as thunderous as “Gäa”.
On German fanpages you can read that the following artists are in:
– Ewig (with Jeanette Biedermann NF 1998)
– Mrs. Greenbird (X-Factor winner)
– Oonah
– Alexa Freser
Tim Bendzko would be great but he wouldn’t do it. Germany has not been doing well the last two years so i guess a new artist will represent the country again.
I’d be so very happy if Madeline Juno were one of the contestants. She has written couple of amazing songs (power ballads mainly), and, since last year, she’s also improved her live vocals. TeamJuno.
Oh, and about Santiano – seriously? That would be horrible, a huge stepback to 2000s. Please. DO NOT.
Hi everybody, does anybody know this group from Germany?? They are great!

Cascada AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
Unheilig or Tim Bendzko, please. Sing in German!
It won’t happen, but I want Santiano to try again for Germany. Fiddler on the Deck was the best song in last year’s NF
Das Gezeichnete Ich from last year’s national final had two great songs. I hope he will participate again this year
If Helene Fischer participating, she will win the our national selection because she has a big fanbase! But I don’t like her music! But I like all our Eurovision entries from 2010-2014! I don’t have any hope in our country this year! But I hope in JESC this year…
Last year, Germany’s NF had so many big artists… And then they chose Elaiza, which was last in my top… From the whole freaking NF XD
NDR, send Glasperlenspiel to Vienna, bitte!!
