As a member of the "Big Four", Germany automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 8, Germany placed eighth out of the 24 participating countries with 93 points.

Background

Prior to the 2004 Contest, Germany had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest forty-seven times since its debut as one of seven countries to take part in 1956. [1] Germany has won the contest on one occasion: in 1982 with the song "Ein bißchen Frieden" performed by Nicole. Germany, to this point, has been noted for having competed in the contest more than any other country; they have competed in every contest since the first edition in 1956 except for the 1996 contest when the nation was eliminated in a pre-contest elimination round. In 2003, the German entry "Let's Get Happy" performed by Lou placed eleventh out of twenty-six competing songs scoring 53 points.

The German national broadcaster, ARD, broadcasts the event within Germany and delegates the selection of the nation's entry to the regional broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). NDR confirmed that Germany would participate in the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest on 19 May 2003. [2] Since 1996, NDR had set up national finals with several artists to choose both the song and performer to compete at Eurovision for Germany. On 26 September 2003, the broadcaster also announced that they would organise a multi-artist national final in cooperation with private music channel VIVA to select the German entry, with the goal of finding songs that have international hit potential instead of those "which do not stand a chance to chart in Germany or abroad and which rather burdened the image of the Eurovision Song Contest in the past." [3]

Germany 12 Points! was the competition that selected Germany's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2004. The competition took place on 19 March 2004 at the Treptow Arena in Berlin, hosted by Sarah Kuttner and Jörg Pilawa. Ten acts competed during the show with the winner being selected through a public televote. The show was broadcast on Das Erste as well as online via the broadcaster's Eurovision Song Contest website eurovision.de. [4] The national final was watched by 5.71 million viewers in Germany with a market share of 18%. [5]

Competing entries

Eight acts were selected by a panel consisting of representatives of the music channel VIVA from proposals received by NDR from record companies. [6] [7] The eight competing artists were announced between 25 November 2003 and 21 January 2004, and each of the artists were required to submit a professional music video for their entry to be presented on the VIVA programme Euroclash starting from 12 January 2004. [3] [8] An additional two acts were later selected by NDR as wildcards due to their top 40 placement in the German singles charts in early 2004: winner of the talent show SSDSGPS Max Mutzke and Tina Frank. [9] [10] Singer Masha was originally announced to have been awarded a wildcard for the competition, but she ultimately did not participate as her entry "Right Here" failed to enter the top 40 of the German singles charts before the show. [11]

Final

The televised final took place on 19 March 2004. The winner was selected through two rounds of public televoting, including options for landline and SMS voting. In the first round of voting, the top two entries were selected to proceed to the second round. In the second round, the winner, "Can't Wait Until Tonight" performed by Max, was selected. [12] In addition to the performances of the competing entries, Turkish singer Mustafa Sandal performed his song "Araba", while the German group Rosenstolz performed their song "Liebe ist alles" and the Australian music ensemble The Ten Tenors performed a medley of songs written by Ralph Siegel, who had previously composed 17 Eurovision entries for various countries. [13] 927,418 votes were cast in the second round: 766,615 via landline and 154,863 via SMS.

Controversy

Following the German national final, show host Sarah Kuttner stated that she and her co-host Jörg Pilawa did not get along very well as he had taken over some of her lines without telling her, which led to confusion during the live broadcast. [14] Pilawa could also be seen doing faces when Kuttner announced contestant Tina Frank. Later during a green room scene, Kuttner ironically stated "When I am older, I will marry Jörg Pilawa. Jörg, I love you from the bottom of my heart." She was also criticised for using the German words for "crap" and "shit" during the live broadcast, which usually does not happen on a public channel.

Chart release and success

Like every year since 1996, a compilation CD with all entries was released. The CD also included the song "Right Here" by Masha, which was one of the eligible entries for the national final but ultimately was not selected as it failed to reach the German Top 40 single charts, as well as the winning song of the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest "Everyway That I Can" by Sertab Erener.

For the first time ever, all songs in the CD managed to reach the German singles charts, with some also making it to the singles charts in Austria and Switzerland. Max became one of four German representatives to top the singles charts since Nicole in 1982, while national final runner-up "Jigga Jigga!" by Scooter reached the singles charts in Norway (#10), Finland (#21), Sweden (#24), Ireland (#34), the United Kingdom (#48) and the Netherlands (#50).
