yeah i know what some might be thinking, only 2 ladies yes not a good year for women here, but these two girls are really good anyway so good choices made


my personal faves are Jan-Marten, ugh he got this mix of ronan keating, rag'n'bone man sound, and Karl Jeroboan, he is the remaining golden cd also left in competition, Dieter's golden cd

also Dieter Bohlen is not at the live shows because of illness, and he has been sacked by producers because he got a too expensive salary of 2.5 million a year (so budget cuts)


so it will be a duo judge panel for these live shows, Maite Kelly & Mike Singer

and the host again will be Oliver Geissen, returning after having given hosting duties last year to Alexander Klaws (but he wants to focus on family and making new music)

it will be three judges after all
