I'm having my personal day off the main ESC Arena covering the newcomer competition for Dusseldorf artists called Tontalente. The show seems to be amazing as the show for me first of all are the 10 participating acts. They have been chosen from 168 applicants aged 12-35. The jury lead by music producer Dieter Falk, Ex-Monrose-singer Bahar, Tina Muller from ESC-Sponsor Schwarzkopf and ESC-Author Jan Feddersen will choose the winners tonight together with the voters.

Live show is taking place at 19.30 at Tonhalle and is broadcasted by local Center TV.

I had interviewed 9/10 of participating artists, though because of the connection speed of my USB stick, the interviews are uploaded very slowly.
