Writers: Michael Harwood, Ella McMahon, Tonino Speciale
24-year-old Ann Sophie won the German national final Unser Song für Österreich in a thrilling super final that made headlines worldwide. After three rounds of public televoting performer Andreas Kümmert won the public vote, however in dramatic scenes he declined the offer live on German TV. Luckily for Anne-Sophie she was second place and will represent her country with the song ‘Black Smoke’ in Vienna.
