Lena Meyer-Landrut won the German national final Unser Star Fu"r Oslo and will now be the country's hope in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest.
It’s a story that only pop music could write. Lena Meyer-Landrut from Hanover is actually right in the middle of preparing for her high school exams. She’s doing Biology, Sport and History and she’s got a lot of revising to do. But now she’s going to be representing Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest in the Norwegian capital Oslo. On the 29th of May, 2010, just after her 19th birthday, she’ll be up on the big stage performing the song Satellite. “It’s going to be hard going up to the exams in April, but I’ll manage,” she says with a sigh. “Then it will almost be relaxing to head off to the Eurovision final.”
Pretty much out of nowhere – apart from the homemade dance videos and a few attempts with the school band – she conquered the audience’s heart. “I didn’t tell my friends about my first casting, so there wouldn’t be any stupid comments if I got kicked out straight away,” she says, thinking of her terrible stage fright. Even though Lena danced regularly during her childhood – from Ballet to Jazz and Hip Hop – she made her way to music without piano lessons or vocal training. But she got her chance, grabbed it and developed rapidly.
Directly after the German national final, her single Satellite went already to the top of all the most important download portals. Lena even created a new German download record: never before has a song sold so well in such a short time!
I went everywhere for you
I even did my hair for you
I bought new underwear that?s blue
And I wore it just the other day
Love you know I'd fight for you
I left on the porch light for you
Whether you are sweet or cool
I'm gonna love you either way...
Love, Oh, Love
I gotta tell you how I feel about you
Cause I, Oh, I
Can't go a minute without your love
Like a satellite I'm in orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can't go a minute without your love
Love I got it bad for you
I saved the best I have for you
You sometimes make me sad and blue
Wouldn't have it any other way
Love my aim is straight and true
Cupid's arrow is just for you
I even painted my toenails for you
I did it just the other day?
Love, Oh, Love
I gotta tell you how I feel about you
Cause I , Oh, I
Can't go a minute without your love
Like a satellite I'm in orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can't go a minute without your love
Love oh love
I gotta tell you how I feel about you
Cause I oh I
Can't go a minute without your love Where you go, I follow
You set the pace we take it fast or slow
I follow in your wake
Oh oh oh
You got me, you got me
A force more powerful than gravity
It's physics... there's no escape
Love my aim is straight and true
Cupid's arrow is just for you
I even painted my toenails for you
I did it just the other day
Love, Oh, Love
I gotta tell you how I feel about you
Cause I, Oh, I
Can't go a minute without your love
Like a satellite I'm in orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can't go a minute without your love
Love, Oh, Love
I gotta tell you how I feel about you
Cause I, Oh, I
Can't go a minute without your love
