The Bundesvision Conspiracy - Thuringia - Hannes Kinder und Band - Deja Vu

So, I was checking the Bundesvision Wikipedia de page yet again (yes I keep checking up on it. Yes that might be a little obsessive), and found out that Thuringia's song has now been filled in, meaning that as of this moment two song titles have been revealed. The second is Thuringia's Hannes Kinder and Band with Deju Vu (or Déjà-vu if you want to get pedantic.) This was a song I wasn't able to find, so I thought I'd make a poor attempt at being a detective yet again. Looking on google there is a cached page of the Hannes Kinder Musik youtube page, which links to this video, a video of deju vu. However, this has now been mysteriously made private. I guess deja vu will remain a mystery.

You can however, check out this other song of Hannes Kinder's, 'Wir hören unsere Lieder'.

Updaaaate: Deja vu, deja vu... Britski turned super sleuth for y'all, and managed to find Hannes Kinder's Soundcloud! And yes, this has Deja Vu! It's also here. So yes, now there are two songs from the Bundesvision that we know of so far. And it's a pretty strong showing from Thuringia this year, I must say.

Bundesvision Song Contest 2013 - Bosse - Istanbul

So I couldn't help but notice today that on the German Wikipedia article for Bundesvision, all of the artists are now filled in, meaning that we now have a complete list who is representing which state. I didn't actually know that many of the people, but I guess they're all way more famous in Germany. Bosse was one of the names I did recognise as they represented Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) back in 2011 with Anna Loos, with the song 'Frankfurt Oder'. Bosse are back representing Lower Saxony again, this time with the song Istanbul. In fact, 'Istanbul' is the only song title that has been filled in on the article, meaning that we don't know what the other songs in this year's contest will be. Not yet, anyway.

So, let's have a little look at their song, Istanbul. I would say that this is a lot stronger than their 2011 entry, it's got a very nice ethnic Turkish feel to it, and the chorus is very strong. I would say that the first song revealed for this year's contest is very good indeed.
