Shipment history
In six shows, the “best singing company in Germany” will be determined from ten participating companies. The six episodes were recorded on June 13, June 14 and June 15, 2008 in Cologne.
In the first five episodes, the moderators visit two companies separately from one another and use a spontaneous casting to put together a five-person team, which they then look after as sponsors as the broadcast progresses. In a two-day training in song and dance, a song including choreography is rehearsed, which is then performed on the large show stage and judged by a jury.
While one team is assigned to the vocal coach Enrico de Pieri and dance coach Byron van Jones, the opposing team rehearses with vocal coach Jane Ferrell and dance coach Kordula Kohlschmitt .
The participating companies are Backwerk ( Essen ), Stadtwerke Hamm , Paderborn / Lippstadt Airport , Entsorger Nehlsen AG ( Bremen ), Tierpark Hagenbeck Hamburg , the Children's Action Center (KAZ) Sprockhövel , Bochum-Gelsenkirchener Straßenbahnen AG (Bogestra), Cineplex ( Berlin ), the Hamburg fire brigade and TUI Germany from Hanover .
The jury consists of Mark Medlock , Sandy Mölling and Joachim Llambi and decides which company has made the better appearance and thus moves into the final. The other company leaves.
In the final, the five winning teams compete against each other. In order to assess the performance, the expert jury is expanded to include a candidate jury, which consists of the teams who have left the competition. The points awarded by the candidate jury are added to those of the specialist jury and the company with the highest number of points becomes the “Best Singing Company in Germany”.
