Eurovision Song Contest 2020: The NDR has announced more detailed information about the German participant at the ESC 2020. TV legend Peter Urban is completely surprised.
- On Monday morning, the NDR announced details of the ESC candidate.
- Accordingly, the German ESC participant is certain - but the name is still being kept secret.
- It is most likely a woman - as suggested by TV legend Peter Urban .
- In a published video, Peter Urban was surprised by the decision
10:01: The first reactions to the announcement of the details for the ESC are meanwhile mixed. "I'll remember the tweet when it says again: Germany zero points," writes a user Schönebergers master plan. He probably does not believe that the NDR's project will be successful. "An international jury of experts from 20 music professionals, that worked so well for the Sisters. The NDR didn't understand anything, ”writes another user.
Another user expresses suspicion whether Schöneberger might even be sent into the race at the ESC for Germany. However, this can almost be ruled out, since the NDR wants to focus on new talent.

9.48 a.m .: Schöneberger recaps in her song the new German selection process for the ESC . As mentioned, there are two expert juries that have already selected the contribution for Germany. Another line that Schöneberger sings is also very revealing: “We are fully committed to talent. New music geniuses ”. It therefore seems rather unlikely that Germany will send an absolute mega star, such as Helene Fischer, into the race. It remains to be seen which ace the NDR will pull out of its sleeve. Schöneberger definitely has a "good feeling" for "twelve Points for Germany".
