Selection of participants
After there had been a lot of criticism of the selection of the artist and the contribution during the preliminary decision in 2013 , the organizers changed the concept. This time the eight German artists appearing in front of an audience were judged exclusively by the audience. Seven pre-selected participants were announced in mid-December 2013. The eighth participant was determined during a club concert.
poll
There were a total of three voting rounds, in which the viewers voted for their favorite by televoting. In the first round, all eight candidates sang a song. The audience then decided which four artists would make it to the next round. In this, the remaining candidates presented a second piece so that the audience could choose their favorite song in the second voting round. In the decisive third round, the two candidates with the most votes appeared again.
Club concert
A new feature was the selection of an artist using a wildcard: from November 25, 2013 up to and including January 22, 2014, both solo artists and bands could upload videos to YouTube in which they performed either their own compositions or a cover version of a song. To participate shouted Adel Tawil on. A total of 2240 entries were received on the portal. Representatives of the NDR , the production company Brainpool , the young radio stations and pop waves of the ARD as well as the labels Universal , Sony , Warner and some independent labels evaluated the received performances and decided on ten candidates, who on February 27, 2014 in Edelfettwerk in Hamburg occurred. This club concert was broadcast on NDR television and on various platforms on the Internet. The viewer determined the winner of the wildcard via televoting.
