 Unser Song für Malmö finally takes place today (14th February) from the TUI Arena in Hanover. Unser Song für Malmö will be hosted by Dusseldorf 2011 host Anke Engelke and will air on ARD at 20:15 CET (19:15GMT). 

The winner will be decided in three stages… The public vote, the Jury vote and also the online voting that has been open since February 7th.

 The Jury has already been confirmed as consisting of five members: Mary Roos, Tim Bendzko, Peter Urban, Anna Loos and 2012′s entrant Roman Lob.

The show will begin at 20.15 (CET) tomorrow night, but the webcast on Eurovision.de will already be available from 18.45 (CET). They will air preliminary reports, interviews etc. for one and a half hours before the show itself begins. After the song has been chosen, the webcast will still continue, showing the press conference, analyses, reactions etc. until around midnight. There will be two guest performers during the show itself; 2010 and 2011 German representative Lena, and 2012 winner Loreen from Sweden.

The running order can be seen below:

1. Die Priester ft. Mojca Erdmann
2. Finn Martin
3. Mobilée
4. Blitzkids mvt.
5. Betty Dittrich
6. Ben Ivory
7. Saint Lu
8. LaBrassBanda
9. Nica & Joe
10. Mia Diekow
11. Söhne Mannheims
12. Cascada

The Eurovision Times poll that has been running for the last 24 hours has Cascada easily in the lead with over 39% of the votes, and Ben Ivory in second place with 18%. The winner of tomorrow’s final will, of course, go directly to the final of Eurovision 2013 on 18th May as Germany is one of the ‘Big 5′ countries with an automatic ticket.

A preview of the stage from today’s rehearsals can be seen here. Fans from abroad will be able to watch the German National Final on the official Eurovision.tv website here. Make sure you come back tomorrow to comment on the show as it happens.
