Federal Vision Song Contest 2014: gunslinger wins at Stefan Raab – Spiegel Online

How was that again then, ten years ago? Max Mutzke explained it at some point during the four-hour anniversary show of “Federal Vision Song Contest” like: When Stefan Raab and he, the winner of the TV Castings “SSDSGPS” (“Stefan sucht den Super-Grand-Prix-Star”) in 2004 at the Euro Vision Song Contest occupied only eighth in Istanbul, was born out of frustration of the plan, the singing contest to organize at the national level: Instead of European states, the 16 states with regional young bands should compete against each other.

It was a very good, daredevil show idea as they only Stefan Raab dominated in Germany. But the 10 “Federal Vision Song Contest”, the ProSieben on Saturday night transferred from the engine shed in Göttingen, unfortunately showed: have quota pressure and economy of the once defiant rejection of the hanky-panky and Ödnisse the Euro Grand Prix just such a testament of boredom and the market calculus made. A farce that barely has entertainment value

was clear who would win

You have to consider only the proportion of genuine young talent. Indie rock band Duerer from Thuringia and the ballads bard Sebastian Hackel from Saxony were the only artist among the 16 that still do not have a record contract with a major label or a successful indie company. With drawbacks belong to this minority and the Brandenburg R & B singer Kitty Kat, which, however, tried for the second time to launch a career, the equally hapless Rockabilly rapper Sierra Kidd out of Lower Saxony and perhaps a little too jaded occurring at the end, but necessarily sympathetic hip-hop crew Inglebirds from the Saarland.

all other acts of the evening were sent by their labels into the field to gather valuable screen time, some caricature of the basic idea of ​​the contest were, even for the second time there. Most artists, six in number, and Sony Music could place the associated label Four Music, all largely established and tested chart: gunslinger, Marteria, Jupiter Jones, Miss Platnum, Ok Kid and Max Mutzke. Then there were the fresh, taken from Universal contracted Northern Lights tape recorder, the Warner veteran Maxim, the Radio-Darling Arctic Monkeys (Universal) and the gepushte from Cro-label Chimperator R &. B singer Teesy

The result of the “Federal Vision Song Contest” 2014:

first Place: gunslinger, Bremen (180 points)

second Place: Jupiter Jones, Rhineland-Palatinate (124 points)

the third Place: Teesy, Saxony-Anhalt (102 points)

4th Place: Marteria, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (101 points)

5th Place: tape recorder, Schleswig-Holstein (87 points)

The problem: The more charts artists participate, the less chances of the offspring. Two years ago, superstar Xavier Naidoo and rapper Kool Savas occurred together as SAVAS – and won. Previously it was the popular Earl of Unholy last year overtook the successful pop singer Bosse victory. Particularly infamous: For the viewers have to wait as long as possible on their favorite act, take the biggest stars in BuVISoCo mostly at the very end. This year it was “Let’s go.” Gunslinger from Bremen with her Pop-Pop And that was then actually already clear who would win.

So much by clam ubere Quotenhuberei makes every moment of tension naught. The audience had shrunk since the first show in February 2005 of 3.23 million viewers to a meager 1.29 million last year. Although Raab got for its anniversary issue again Saturday night, but the austerity measures were clearly visible: In a female co-host renounced entertainer Raab as well as a particularly elaborate stage effects – and to win it was for the caller for their vote after all had to shell out 50 cents per call, only a measly small car, Value: 15 000 EUR. A joke compared to the Jaguar, the ProSieben the lottery participants by far the more successful show “Schlag den Raab” begrudge.

almost Ekelband One wishes induce

Since it did not help that Raab had this time all performing artists previously loaded on a weekend to the studio to herumzublödeln with them and improvise as congenial fooling the US-Talker Jimmy Fallon in his “Tonight Show”. But unfortunately it understands the steamroller Raab not like Fallon to withdraw and to limit down on accentuation: He has just yet to prove that he is the boss and the Better repeatedly. The artists who host their regional gifts – beer, fish sandwich or eel – brought could one do almost sorry so little was learned about them while Raab himself hampelnd, rattling and smirking produced.

Then again, you could be happy that there were Raab with his funny Verhaspelungen and slips of the tongue, for he was the only thing that kept one from falling asleep between the many commercial breaks. Since ProSieben (such as ARD and ZDF) the TV audience apparently neither volume nor to burden sophisticated, bulky music during prime time, with a few exceptions was (tape recorder, Teesy) exactly the whiny, wurstige, insipid and offered feeble Befindlichkeits-Schmonz , the already clogged all channels – even with pop, sometimes with hip hop, sometimes timid rocking, but in the main, so artificially inflated with meaning as the runner-up at the end of the song “Suddenly, the world stops” by Jupiter Jones. Since you almost wished a seasoned Ekelband as PUR cause – the once wanted to at least still in the adventure, not the boredom country

“I’ve tried everything”

.

“I’ve tried everything, my energy is consumed” more hol ‘I’m not out of me, “sighed, somehow programmatically, Maxim into the microphone. most beautiful but brought all the misery probably gunslinger in her winning song on the spot , involuntarily, of course: “Hello, hello, you’re also bored so” trilled singer Johannes Strate, while he and his fellow musicians made robotic movements on long, hanging from the ceiling bands – like the puppets programmed to soft flush pop industry, the they are.

But then there was the rapper Marteria, is currently one of the most popular and sought-after pop stars of the country. He could decide for itself the evening easy, he had ingratiated with a hit like “Kids” . But the local patriot from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern remembered clearly on the original character of the show and dedicated the soulful anthem “My Rostock” his hometown. Clearly, the most supreme and most moving performance of the evening, but the mass audience then probably to regional: He managed only third place. It makes the artist Marteria that he whistled on the victory to his state to sing a song. If there were a bit more of this spirit, the Federal Vision Song Contest might still have a future.

PS: Max Mutzke, the old junior talent, managed with his casual funk number “Charlotte” the way to seventh. A place better than it was at the Grand Prix.
