Voll Geil du geile Sau!

Just taking the opportunity to express myself like a true German, who appreciates what "Tomzilla" has done with his song/video 'Love Is You'. Impressive and rockin'.


Thomas Godoj - Love Is You

VOLL GEIL DU GEILE SAU!

And the Winner Is...

FINALE, ooohhhoohhhh!
FINALE, ooohhhoohhhh!

And guess who won?! THOMAS GODOJ! =) Yooooooohooooo! My predictions were right all along, AND Germany finally picked someone well worth it. In the past, the people who won were for some reason most of the time gay (no offense to gay people, but just not my style) and left the spotlight within minutes -- one exception: last year's winner.

But FINALLY someone who sings in my kind of style, is worth looking at, and is as natural as BIO can get [note: Germans love anything "BIO" (organic); bread, socks, plants, phone calls, cars etc.] He's got a lot of potential and according to RTL's Voting Results, he was everyone's favourite from the beginning, with always ca. 50% of the votes. =)

His first performance: 'Fairytale Gone Bad' by Sunrise Avenue

DSDS Thomas Godoj: Love Is You - Singing as DSDS' 2008 Superstar

I know, I know...I think I've tired everyone out with DSDS. Again, I am not usually such a big supporter of the show, but Thomas always took my breath away, as he did with Germany. Does that mean I have something in common with Germans?! ;) I hope you at least enjoyed it as much as I did -- and look out for him in the international charts!

Semifinals!

So it's finally coming to an end. Three candidates left and three songs each.

First up: 'In The Shadows' by The Rasmus.

His second song was 'Let It Be' by The Beatles, but changed "slightly" to fit his style.

...and lastly 'Easy' by Faith No More.

Germany vs. England

At DSDS' 7th Mottoshow, the theme was Germany vs. England. Each of the final remaining candidates needed to sing two songs: one in English and the other in German. Thomas' picks were 'Wonderwall' from Oasis and 'Mensch' from Herbert Grönemeyer. I absolutely love the song Mensch and Thomas' interpretation was actually pretty good! I love the way he really tries to entertain the audience and always comes up with some creative way to perform the song - not like the others, who mainly just walk back and forth. He's the only candidate who really uses the stage, looks relaxed, and is believable.

The English theme (sorry, couldn't find any video that was just of him singing + all of the jury's comments, therefore it's a little long):


DSDS Thomas Godoj: Wonderwall by Oasis 7. Mottoshow 2008

The German theme:


DSDS Thomas Godoj:Mensch by Herbert Grönemeyer 7. Mottoshow 2008

In my opinion, Germany won this round by far! I didn't like the way he sung Wonderwall at all, and Mensch just brought out the best of him.
