The Euro Vision Song Contest catapulted unknown artists quickly limelight. Ann Sophie but seems to remain the great unknown even in Germany. For their chances to score, which is not necessarily good.
to be

Second, this is not necessarily bad. It depends on the circumstances. And the consequences: singer Ann Sophie (24) is the beginning of March with the song “Black Smoke” Second the German national final for the Euro Vision Song Contest become. That was worthy of all honor. Ann Sophie has even made the leap to the ESC because of the refusal of the winner. As a bit of a problem, however, it turned out that this first place winner Andreas Taking care (28, “Here I Am” ) was.

Takes care is a very different sort newcomer – someone who somehow colorful with Goatee, beer belly and even played guitar songs, authentic flippant as Ann Sophie. And so the 24-year-old was not just Germany ESC candidate. But also: the next best thing. On Saturday it’s time for the big ESC-TV transmission. Ann Sophie is going to start 17th on the grid. And somehow is not much more is known about the Hamburg woman, as she is the woman who starts instead of going – the woman who happens instead of the big ESC sensation. Ann also Sophie’s winning song remained on the charts far behind cares “Heart of Stone”.

knocked off – along with Austria, Montenegro and Poland

It might even be that – in addition to Germany’s European plenty unpopular policies in the euro crisis – Ann Sophie tarnishes chances reap a greater number of points. If the bookies it ranks along with The Makemake from Austria (“Million Euro Smile”), Montenegro and Poland relegated to the last seats. Of course, the story of the German preliminary decision is well known internationally. Ann Sophie has already been questioned at their first Vienna-PK on. Unfortunately, even after their first appearances is there more reports about what it does not matter, as about what she does.

For example, the Austrian media have zeroed in on Ann Sophie as, well .. . somehow grumpy represent. Supercooled goodbyes, annoyed tone, uncooperative behavior want about “oe24.at” and have identified “heute.at”. Ann Sophie did not want to get up for a photo for aching shoes, laments “heute.at”.

Here, Ann Sophie acts actually very accessible at the official press conference. Cheerful smiling acquires German ESC hope compliments meet – and are even to demand an impressive, impromptu version of their favorite songs by Beyonce for the best. In the headlines, however, is just another issue to find. Again it is about something that might not happen: To Ann Sophie’s cold, which could prevent their appearance. However, this has been denied the singer.



From New York via Hannover to Vienna to tell

It would actually about Ann Sophie lot. For example, that the young woman has already completed a drama school in New York. And even in the Big Apple – tried as a musician – albeit ultimately without resounding success. That she was chosen from 1,270 competitors to the German “ESC-Club concert”. And then the story of Ann Sophie’s fate as “second winner” is indeed a beautiful: On the recordings from the preliminary round is wonderful to see how the 24-year-old is only irritated. Then vigorously and smile begins to sing. That could be a good omen.

Ultimately, could Ann Sophie’s song “Black Smoke” but reflect their stay in Vienna. “Black Smoke” is a thoroughly nice, soulful pop number. Ann Sophie she contends with voluminous, sometimes rousing voice and little extra show. But then the song holds perhaps a little too much to the standards and conventions of the Soul-Pop to really surprise can. A charming piece – which ultimately will remember what it then but could not afford to. Just a little bit is the way via Ann Sophie now reported before the competition. When Ann Sophie wants to escape this trap, it is more than simply have to sing “good”.
