Tonight, the final of the German national selection Unser Star für Oslo was held in Cologne. The show was presented by Sabine Heinrich and Matthias Opdenhövel, who had already presented the seven preliminary heats in the past weeks. In those shows, a total of 20 candidates showed their talent, and in the end, the TV public decided who would go on to the next round. In the semi-final on Tuesday, Jennifer Braun and Lena Meyer-Landrut were picked as the finalists for tonight.
A jury panel commented on tonight's performances, but did not have the right to vote - televoting solely decided on the winner tonight. The jury members were Stefanie Kloß, lead singer of the band Silbermond, Stefan Raab and Xavier Naidoo.
First, each singer presented three songs to the public, out of which two were the same but have been arranged in a different way, while one of the songs has been written especially for Jennifer and Lena, respectively. In the first voting round, the public picked their one favourite song for each singer. This is the list of songs performed by each singer (in order of appearance, qualifying entries in bold):
Jennifer - Bee
Lena - Bee
Jennifer - Satellite
Lena - Satellite
Jennifer - I Care For You
Lena - Love Me
Each of the two winning songs was performed again afterwards by the respecitve singer. In the second voting round, the public then chose the German entry for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest out of the two final acts. In the end, Lena Meyer-Landrut convinced the TV public and won the televoting. Thus, she will sing Satellite in Oslo, a song written by Julie Frost and John Gordan. The song Love Me, which Lena Meyer-Landrut had written herself together with Stefan Raab, was not selected for the super-final by the public.
