Popstars – Das Duell
Popstars – Das Duell ("Popstars – The Battle") was an interactive reality, talent show broadcast in Germany during late 2003. It is the third German season of the international Popstars franchise. Unlike the first two seasons of Popstars, which resulted in the formation of one winning group (No Angels and Bro'Sis), Popstars – Das Duell created two rival groups who competed against each other for the most records sold. This show created Overground and Preluders. This season's catch phrase is "Lebe deine Traum" which means "Live Your Dream". Winners were the male band Overground. From 11 August 2003 to 3 November 2003, there was a special magazine about Popstars on TV called "taff. – Popstars Special" every Monday at 6 pm. The show consists of three phases. First phase is audition phase in which young aspiring singers can apply on six German cities (Stuttgart, Cologne, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Berlin). After the contestants had gone through a casting, a "Re-Call" and a "Re-ReCall", they united in a decision show in which the best 30–40 contestants were allowed to pass through to the next phase, the Workshop, in which two groups were formed. The groups battle in a Roadshow in which both bands promote their single and a tour. After the Roadshow the winning band was crowned in a big Live-Finale on 3 November 2003.
