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.
