The national final featured 20 competing artists and consisted of five heats, a quarter-final, a semi-final and a final held in February and March 2010. Contestants were selected to advance in the competition via public televote. Two contestants qualified to compete in the final where the winner was selected over two rounds of voting.

As a member of the "Big Four", Germany automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 22, Germany placed first out of the 25 participating countries, winning the contest with 246 points. This was Germany's second win in the Eurovision Song Contest; their first victory was in 1982.
Background edit
Prior to the 2010 contest, Germany had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest fifty-three times since its debut as one of seven countries to take part in 1956.[1] Germany has won the contest on one occasion: in 1982 with the song "Ein bißchen Frieden" performed by Nicole. Germany, to this point, has been noted for having competed in the contest more than any other country; they have competed in every contest since the first edition in 1956 except for the 1996 contest when the nation was eliminated in a pre-contest elimination round. In 2009, the German entry "Miss Kiss Kiss Bang" performed by Alex Swings Oscar Sings! placed twentieth out of twenty-five competing songs scoring 35 points.
The German national broadcaster, ARD, broadcasts the event within Germany and delegates the selection of the nation's entry to the regional broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). NDR confirmed that Germany would participate in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest on 20 July 2009.[2][3] Between 1996 and 2008, NDR had set up national finals with several artists to choose both the song and performer to compete at Eurovision for Germany, while the broadcaster internally selected both the artist and song for the contest in 2009. On 25 May 2009, ARD and NDR was revealed to have approached music producer and three-time German Eurovision participant (as singer and/or songwriter) Stefan Raab and private broadcaster ProSieben to collaborate in preparing for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest with a view of creating a possible winning combination of artist and song. While ProSieben had accepted the offer, Raab had refused the request.[4] Along with their participation confirmation, it was announced that Raab would in fact work with the two broadcasters in preparing for the 2010 contest.[2][3]
Before Eurovision edit
Unser Star für Oslo edit
Unser Star für Oslo 2010 (English: Our Star for Oslo) was the competition that selected Germany's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. The competition consisted of five heats, a quarter-final, a semi-final and a final that took place between 2 February 2010 and 12 March 2010 at the Köln-Mülheim Studios in Cologne, hosted by Matthias Opdenhövel and Sabine Heinrich.[5][6] The competition was co-produced by the production company Brainpool.[7] The shows were broadcast alternatively on ProSieben and Das Erste; the heats and semi-final were broadcast on ProSieben, while the quarter-final and final were broadcast on Das Erste as well as online via NDR's official website ndr.de.[8][9]
Format edit
The competition consisted of eight shows: five heats between 2 February 2010 and 2 March 2010, a quarter-final on 23 February 2010, a semi-final on 9 March 2010 and a final on 12 March 2010. In each of the first two heats, 10 of the 20 contestants performed and five were eliminated from the competition. An additional two contestants were eliminated in each of the third and fourth heat, while one was eliminated in each of the fifth heat and quarter-final, respectively, and two were eliminated in the semi-final. The remaining two contestants proceeded to the final where they each performed their three songs bidding for Eurovision and the German entry was selected. The results of all eight shows were determined by public televoting, including options for landline and SMS voting.[10][11]

Jennifer Braun's song "I Care for You" took fourth place in the chart, followed by her versions of "Bee" and "Satellite" in 7th and 14th position respectively. A maxi single featuring Lena's three songs was released on 16 March.[52] "Satellite" entered the German singles chart at number one and has been certified platinum since.[53][54] On 16 March, the official music video of "Satellite" premiered on Das Erste right before Germany's most watched evening news bulletin Tagesschau. Shortly after, it was simultaneously shown on four private stations (Sat.1, ProSieben, kabel eins, N24) before the start of their evening prime time programmes.[55] As of July 2021, the two officially uploaded YouTube videos of the song have jointly generated more than 109 million views since their release.[56][57]
At Eurovision edit
According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. As a member of the "Big Four", Germany automatically qualified to compete in the final on 16 May 2009. In addition to their participation in the final, Germany is also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals. During the semi-final allocation draw on 7 February 2010, Germany was assigned to broadcast and vote in the first semi-final on 25 May 2010.[58]
In Germany, the two semi-finals and the final were broadcast on Das Erste which featured commentary by Peter Urban. The final was also broadcast on NDR 2 which featured commentary by Tim Frühling and Thomas Mohr.[59] The final was watched by 14.73 million viewers in Germany, a market share of 49 per cent, which is the second-highest viewership in absolute numbers ever registered for a Eurovision final in Germany.[60][61] The German spokesperson, who announced the top 12-point score awarded by the German vote during the final, was Hape Kerkeling.
Final edit
Lena took part in technical rehearsals on 22 and 23 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 28 and 29 May. This included the jury final on 28 May where the professional juries of each country watched and voted on the competing entries. During the running order draw for the semi-final and final on 23 March 2010, Germany was drawn as one of the five wildcards and therefore the country chose to perform in position 22 in the final, following the entry from Armenia and before the entry from Portugal.[62]
The German performance featured Lena performing on stage in a short black dress with four backing vocalists. The stage was predominantly dark with flickering blue lights and additional turning spotlights along with small blue bubbles hanging from the ceiling.[63][64] The four backing vocalists that joined Lena on stage were Anji Hinke, Cheri Kedida, Grace Risch and Maya Saban.[65] Germany won the contest placing first with a score of 246 points. This was Germany's second victory in the Eurovision Song Contest; their first victory was in 1982.[66]
Voting edit
Voting during the three shows consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent: Jochen Rausch, Mary Roos, Hadnet Tesfai, Johannes Oerding and jury president Hape Kerkeling.[67]
This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Germany had placed first with both the public televote and the jury vote. In the public vote, Germany scored 243 points and in the jury vote the nation scored 187 points.[68]
Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Germany and awarded by Germany in the first semi-final and final of the contest. The nation awarded its 12 points to Belgium in the semi-final and the final of the contest.
