Andreas Meyer-Landrut
, the
Baltic German
-born West German ambassador to the Soviet Union in Moscow from 1980 to 1983 and 1987 to 1989,
[5]
[6]
and Hanna Karatsony von Hodos who was born in
Bratislava
, Slovakia of
Hungarian nobility
.
[7]
She grew up as an only child,
[5]
and started taking dancing lessons at the age of five; initially doing
ballet
and later practicing various modern styles, including
hip-hop
and
jazz dance
.
[8]
Meyer-Landrut grew fond of singing and appeared as an
extra
in several German television series,
[5]
though she never received any formal acting or vocal training.
[9]
In June 2010 she graduated from IGS Roderbruch Hannover, a
comprehensive school
, receiving her
Abitur
diploma.
[10]
Career
[
edit
]
2009?2011:
Unser Star fur Oslo
and Eurovision Song Contest
[
edit
]
Meyer-Landrut decided to take part in the talent show
Unser Star fur Oslo
, a newly created national television programme to select the German entry for the
Eurovision Song Contest 2010
.
[9]
The show was organised by public broadcaster
ARD
and private television station
ProSieben
, as well as entertainer, music producer and former Eurovision entrant
Stefan Raab
. From 4,500 entrants, Meyer-Landrut was picked as one of the 20 contestants for the show. Asked about her motivation to apply, she said, "I like to test myself. I wanted to see how I am perceived, and I wanted to hear what people with knowledge have to say about it. I personally can't judge myself at all."
[6]
After her first appearance, performing "
My Same
" by British singer
Adele
, Meyer-Landrut received much praise from the show's jury panel and was instantly considered the favourite.
[9]
The following week, Adele's "My Same" entered the
German singles chart
at number 61.
[11]
Meyer-Landrut reached the final of
Unser Star fur Oslo
, mainly performing lesser-known songs by international artists
The Bird and the Bee
,
Kate Nash
,
Paolo Nutini
and
Lisa Mitchell
. Of her eight
cover
performances, five of the original songs subsequently charted in Germany, with all but "
Foundations
" reaching their peak chart position.
[12]
[13]
[14]
[15]
In the final, on 12 March 2010, Meyer-Landrut sang three songs specifically written for the contest, "
Bee
", "
Satellite
" and "
Love Me
". Through
televoting
the audience chose "Satellite", written by American
Julie Frost
and Dane John Gordon, to be her designated song in the event she won the show. In a second round of voting Meyer-Landrut was chosen as Germany's entry for the 55th Eurovision Song Contest, beating the last remaining contestant,
Jennifer Braun
.
[16]
Throughout the show, Meyer-Landrut was seen as the clear favourite.
[17]
One day after winning
Unser Star fur Oslo
, her three songs from the finals topped the German
iTunes Store
sales chart,
[18]
making her the first singer to accomplish this.
[19]
[20]
"Satellite" sold over 100,000
downloads
in its first week, becoming Germany's fastest-selling digital release ever.
[21]
Her three songs entered the top five of the German singles chart reaching positions one, three and four. No artist had achieved this since the charts were first established in Germany in 1959.
[20]
"Satellite" was certified gold after the first week and platinum after the fourth week of its release.
[21]
[22]
The song remained at number one for five consecutive weeks in Germany.
[23]
The music video for "Satellite" was shot during the night of the final and premiered on German television stations four days later.
[24]
While competing at
Unser Star fur Oslo
, Meyer-Landrut continued to attend school. The last show was held one month before the start of her final exams.
[5]

, on 7 May 2010.
[25]
Produced by Stefan Raab, it
includes the singles "Satellite", "Love Me" and "Bee", as well as two cover songs and eight unreleased titles. Meyer-Landrut is credited as a co-writer for the lyrics of five songs.
[26]

German albums chart
.
[27]

Austrian albums chart
, and at number three on the
Swiss albums chart

[28]
[29]

double Platinum
, and the album has been certified five times Gold for sales of over 500,000 units.
[23]
[30]
[27]
Representing a "
Big Four
" country, Meyer-Landrut automatically qualified for the final of the
Eurovision Song Contest 2010
. Germany received a wild card during the running order draw, allowing the German representatives to choose the country's position for the final. They chose position 22 out of the 25 spots. Meyer-Landrut arrived in Oslo one week before the show and completed five rehearsals of her song "Satellite". Before the final, she was considered one of the favourites.
Bookmakers
regarded her as the second favourite behind Azerbaijan's
Safura
, while
Google
projected she would win based on search volume in the participating countries.
[31]
According to Norway's
Aftenposten
she received the most media attention of all the participants.
[32]
The final was held on 29 May 2010 at Oslo's
Telenor Arena
. Appearing fourth from last, Meyer-Landrut wore a
simple black dress
and performed on a bare stage with four backing singers. Her pared-back presentation was a break from recent Eurovision trends, as it did not feature any choreography, dancers or an elaborate stage show.
[33]
"Satellite" received a total of 246 points, giving Germany its first win since 1982, and the first victory as a
unified country
.
[34]
[35]
The song won over Turkey's entry "
We Could Be the Same
" with a margin of 76 points, the second largest in Eurovision history, second only to
Alexander Rybak
's margin of 169 points in the
2009 contest
. (It would later be eclipsed by
Loreen
's victory in 2012, sporting a margin of 113 points). "Satellite" was awarded the maximum of 12 points nine times and received points from all but five countries.
[35]
The
BBC
called "Satellite" the first "contemporary pop hit Eurovision has produced in decades," ushering in "a new era for the annual music jamboree".
[36]
Meyer-Landrut's victory received much attention in Germany and the show was seen by 15 million viewers on German television (a 49.1 percent market share).
[37]
She returned to
Hanover
the following day, where she was greeted by 40,000 people.
[38]
In June, "Satellite" regained the top spot on the German singles chart for one week and also peaked at number one in
