Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Germany will have its final this Thursday. The last year's system will be used again. In the first round all eight acts will perform their first song. Four of them will be eliminated. In the second voting round these four will perform their second song and two will make it to the superfinal. Confusing? It is a bit, this blogger never got the idea of the song change in between....

I'm a bit stuck on Nena and Nina Hagen period really. And just like last year, they will all perform two songs again. Anyways, here they are: Alexa Feser:   Glück   / Das gold von morgen Andreas Kümmert:  Home is in my hands / Heart of stone Fahrenhaidt:   Frozen silence / Mother Earth Faun:   Horst du die Trommeln / Abschied Laing:   Zeig deine Muske...
