The Bundesvision Song Contest ( BuViSoCo or BSC for short ) was a German music competition and a TV show on ProSieben , which was launched in 2005 by Stefan Raab and broadcast for the first time. The name is a suitcase word made up of the prefix "Federal ..." referring to the Federal Republic of Germany and the Eurovision Song Contest .
In the first year, the event was scheduled on a Saturday, which the main broadcasters usually reserve for particularly high-quotas programs. Since then, the competition has been held on a Thursday or Friday. The tenth edition in 2014 was held on Saturdays for the first time. In the first few years the event always took place in mid-February. Since Stefan Raab organized the casting show Unser Star for Oslo in spring 2010 , the Bundesvision Song Contest has been held in early autumn.
The eleventh BuViSoCo took place on Saturday, August 29, 2015 in Bremen and was won by Mark Forster for Rhineland-Palatinate . The Bundesvision Song Contest 2015 was the last edition with Stefan Raab, who retired from television at the end of 2015. ProSieben announced in 2016 that the Bundesvision Song Contest would not take place in the same year. A suspension of the broadcast was not officially announced.
idea
At the tenth BuViSoCo , among other things, it was also discussed how the idea of the Bundesvision Song Contest had come about: Max Mutzke (according to Elton ) was “to blame” for it. When Raab and Mutzke took part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in Istanbul, they were annoyed that despite good forecasts they “only” reached eighth place, they had hoped for a much better placement. They blamed the states of the former Eastern Bloc , which passed the points to each other. Something like this would not happen without the Eastern Bloc countries. The idea of the Bundesvision Song Contest was born and was implemented the following year .

procedure
16 performers competed against each other, each representing a German state . One concern of the program was to promote German-language music, so there was a condition for participation, according to which at least half of the text had to be German. As with the Eurovision Song Contest , the following year’s competition was held in the winning country.
From 2005 to 2013, all performers were invited to TV total in the four weeks before the BSC and advertised with the help of an interview, a commercial and a live performance. The artists introduced themselves in the commercials and showed the most beautiful and popular locations in their home state. During the live show, a single player was shown before each appearance, which always began with the slogan: “And now we come to what is by far the most beautiful state ...” and again showed the performers talking about their state.
As of 2014, the performers were no longer invited to TV in advance. There was only a small hint that the competition was taking place. Short clips were only shown shortly before the live performances, in which Stefan Raab and the Heavytones met with the respective interpreter in a rehearsal room and held a short jam session .
The winner was chosen by the audience via telephone / SMS voting. In contrast to the Eurovision Song Contest , it was also possible to vote for your own country. As with the European model, the votes were assessed separately by country and announced live in each country. ProSieben was supported by local radio stations (one for each country) who were involved in the selection of candidates.
