The twelfth season of Deutschland sucht den Superstar was broadcast on German channel RTL from 17 January to 16 May 2015. It was won by Severino Seeger.

History

During the live shows of the previous season, it was announced that the castings for season 12 would start in August 2014. RTL's Head of Program Frank Hoffmann stated that he wants to keep the series for the years the come, although the ratings continued to fall, especially in the live shows. He further explained that the live shows would be cut to an "absolute minimum".[1] In late 2014, RTL gave closer details to the changes of season 12. The live shows are replaced with pre-recorded concerts in clubs in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Only the announcement of the results will be broadcast live. In contrary to the seasons before, the final will not take place in a TV studio in Cologne, but in the ÖVB Arena in Bremen.[2] For the first time, auditions will be held in the Czech Republic, Poland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium.[3] In October 2014, RTL announced that Marianne Rosenberg, Mietze Katz, and Kay One wouldn't return for the twelfth season. The new jury consists of Dieter Bohlen, Swiss disc jockey DJ Antoine, Schlager singer Heino and singer Mandy Capristo.[4] The winner of the Deutschland sucht den Superstar 2015 was announced as Severino Seeger, with Viviana Grisafi finishing as the runner-up. The winner song, "Hero of My Heart", was produced and written by juror Dieter Bohlen.

Auditions and "Recall"

the start of the season was on Wednesday, 7 January 2015. In addition to longtime juror Dieter Bohlen, Popstars winner Mandy Capristo, DJ Antoine, and pop singer Heino were part of the jury. In the casting rounds, each candidate selected before the show from a Golden CD with the name of the juror, whose voice should be the deciding factor for advancement or leaving a draw jury voting. Menderes reached the fourth time the "Recall". There is a "Quick Pick" was held where each candidate had to sing again. RTL did not broadcast this Germany-Recall. Instead, only a short scene was shown in which piles announced that the 34 pre-worn Recall of the 110 candidates in Thailand recall were.[5]
