Season 12

The eleventh season of Deutschland sucht den Superstar was broadcast on German channel RTL from 8 January to 3 May 2014. The winner received a recording contract with Universal Music Group and €500,000. Participants had to be between 16 and 30 years old and could audition in 30 cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Kenneth "Kay One" Glöckler, Mieze Katz and Marianne Rosenberg served as the judges.

For the second year in a row, the season featured a female final top two and produced a female "superstar" for the third time in the show's history. Aneta Sablik was announced as the winner on 3 May 2014.

History[edit]

On 13 March 2013, RTL announced that there will be an eleventh season.[1][2] The judges from the previous season, with the exception of Dieter Bohlen, were replaced by rapper Kay One, singer Mieze Katz of the band MIA., and Schlager singer Marianne Rosenberg. Nazan Eckes returned as the host of the eleventh season, however, without Raúl Richter. Bill and Tom Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel and Mateo from Culcha Candela left after the completion of season 10. The season started on Wednesday, 8 January 2014, on RTL.

The season's headline was "Kandidaten an die Macht!" ("Candidates, take over!"). Therefore, it was the first season that the contestants were completely in charge of their song choice and their stage performance. This also enabled them to choose an original song.

The season premiere attracted 2.70 million viewers, which makes it the least-watched season premiere in the history of Deutschland sucht den Superstar.[3] However, ratings improved up to 3.33 million viewers by episode three, which made it the most-watched episode of the season within the demographics between ages 14–49.[4]

"Re-Recall"[edit]

The top 30, which consisted of 15 female and 15 male contestants, were brought to Cuba for the further competition. In the top 20 round, the judges chose the top 10 to compete in the live shows. Five of the ten eliminated contestants were given a wild card by the judges and made available for public voting. The two with the highest votes by the viewers will be joining the top 10.
