 The group 'Elaiza' caused an upset winning a televised National German Eurovision Song Contest over well-known favorites like Unheilig and Santiano. Elaiza were a wildcard addition to Thursday's German Eurovision nationals. Elaiza along with over 2,100 other performers submitted applications via Youtube, from which 10 acts were selected for a filmed competition on the 27th February. Elaiza won that public vote and a place in the German Eurovision finals. The other artists for the German Eurovision finals were selected by industry insiders. The German finals were broadcast live from Lanxess Arena in Cologne on the 13th April and of all the acts, German TV audience gave the biggest support to the group 'Elaiza' to represent Germany at the Eurovision finals in Copenhagen. Eurovision Semi-Finals are set to take place on Tuesday 6th and Thursday 8th May, the Final is scheduled for Saturday 10th May. Some 170 million people from over 40 countries are expected to view the televised event. Elaiza consists of German-Ukrainan singer-songwriter Elzbieta (Ela) Steinmetz (21). Her fellow band member Yvonne Grunwald (29) plays the accordion (she apparently has 15 accordions!) and Natalie Plöger (28) the string bass.
