History

edit

During the live shows of season 12, it was announced that the castings for season 13 would start in August 2015. In late 2014, RTL gave closer details to the changes of season 13. The live shows are replaced with pre-recorded concerts in clubs in Germany. Only the announcement of the results will be broadcast live. Like the season before, the final will not take place in a TV studio in Cologne, but in the ISS Dome in Düsseldorf.

In 2015, RTL announced that DJ Antoine, Mandy Capristo, and Heino won't return for the thirteenth season. The new jury consists of Dieter Bohlen, H.P. Baxxter, Michelle and Vanessa Mai. Prince Damien Ritzinger was announced as the winner on 7 May 2016, with Laura van den Elzen finishing as the runner-up.

Auditions and "Recall"

edit

Start of the season was on Saturday, 2 January 2016. In the casting rounds, each candidate selected before the show from a Golden CD with the name of the juror, whose voice should be the deciding factor for advancement or leaving a draw jury voting. Menderes reached the fourth time the "Recall". There is a "Quick Pick" was held where each candidate had to sing again. RTL did not broadcast this Germany-Recall. Instead, only a short scene was shown in which piles announced that the 32 pre-worn Recall of the 110 candidates in Thailand-Recall were.

"Re-recall"
