| Season chronology | |
During the live-shows of season 13, it was announced that the castings for season 14 will start in August 2016. In late 2016, broadcaster RTL gave closer details to the changes of season 14. The pre-recorded concerts in clubs in Germany were replaced by the "Mottoshows" (theme shows) which were used from season 1 to 10.
In 2016, RTL announced that H.P. Baxxter, Dieter Bohlen and Michelle would return, while Vanessa Mai was replaced by YouTuber Shirin David. Oliver Geissen returned as the host of the live shows. The season marked an all-time high because there was a "final 14" which was the highest amount of Mottoshow contestants ever. Also for the first time a wild card voting was introduced where the public voted Alphonso Williams who was eliminated just before the Mottoshows back in the competition. Alphonso Williams was announced the winner on 6 May followed by Alexander Jahnke, Maria Voskania and Duygu Goenel. With 54 years Williams is the oldest winner to date.
Auditions and "Recall"
[edit]There were changes in the rules: New casting candidates were also present during the "Recall" phase, which takes place in Dubai this year. In addition, the groups' Recalls are now treated as those of casting candidates: Each group has to select the Golden CD of a juror before the performance. Directly after the performance, the jurors individually assess the members of the group and agree on their continuation; in the case of a 2: 2 the voice of the jurors, whose Golden CD was selected, counts twice. In the squadrons before the jury met again after all the appearances of a round, decided together which candidates to leave and announced this before all candidates.
Finalists
[edit]The Finalist were announced just before the first Mottoshow where only 13 of the last 16 contestants proceeded.[1] Just before the second Mottoshow, it was announced that either Alphonso Williams or Benjamin Timon Donndorf would be returning as a wild card. Alphonso Williams was chosen. Which made it a final 14 in total.
