Preparations are underway for the highly anticipated event, "Schlagerchampions – Das große Fest der Besten," which will be hosted by Florian Silbereisen on January 11, 2025, at the Berliner Velodrom. This grand show promises to bring together some of the most celebrated stars of the schlager music genre, making it a highlight for fans and artists alike.
This year's event not only features fantastic performances but also includes the presentation of prestigious awards across multiple categories. Among those set to be honored are competitors for the coveted titles of Singer of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, and the Hit of the Year.
The excitement builds as fans speculate on who will take home the awards. For the Radio-Eins der Besten, many predict Beatrice Egli will claim the trophy, backed by her popular track, "Du, Du, Du," which has topped the Airplay charts. Although, there’s bittersweet news as she may not be present at the ceremony due to other commitments. Fans are eager to see who will step up to seize her potential award.
Georg Stengel is another name making waves, as he is the frontrunner for Newcomer of the Year after his standout appearances at major performances like "Schlagerbooom" and as the supporting act for Roland Kaiser. The attention around his performances signals he could be taking his first major award home this January.
When it come to the prestigious titles of Singer of the Year, fans are divided between two past winners—Semino Rossi, who celebrated his 20th anniversary last year, and the ever-popular Roland Kaiser. Each artist brings their unique charm and following, making it nearly impossible to predict the outcome.
On the female side of things, the award for Singer of the Year sees tough competition between Kerstin Ott and Maite Kelly, waiting for the chance to shine. Interestingly, the legendary Andrea Berg, who previously held the title, is rumored to be set for another honor, possibly the Platinum-Eins der Besten.
And what about Lifetime Achievement? Nicole, having recently celebrated her 60th birthday and released the acclaimed album "Carpe Diem," stands as the likely candidate for this significant recognition—provided she is back to good health.
When it boils down to the Hit of the Year, Maite Kelly’s catchy number "Wer lieben will, muss fühlen" takes the lead after maintaining six weeks at the number one spot on the Airplay charts, but Sonia Liebing’s popular single, "Ich wünsche dir," also has fans buzzing.
The nominations extend to group efforts as well, with the potential collaboration of Thomas Anders and Florian Silbereisen expected to gain attention for the Duo of the Year title. Meanwhile, voXXclub holds strong prospects for being awarded Band of the Year, thanks to their impressive fan engagement and performances.
With the guest list continuously growing, it’s worth noting the rising number of high-profile artists set to appear. Among them are Michelle, Matthias Reim, Sarah Engels, Nino de Angelo, Melissa Naschenweng, and many more, creating what promises to be an exhilarating musical event. The group performances are expected to showcase their hits, making it irresistible for attendees and the audience at home.
Not only does the show offer entertainment, but there's also anticipation following its celebration of last year’s surprises, such as Anna Ermakova’s debut performance alongside Silbereisen. Fans are eager to see who will make stunning revelations this time.
All eyes will be on Florian Silbereisen as he orchestrates the festivities, guiding the audience through celebratory performances and award presentations with his trademark style. His ability to engage and captivate viewers transforms the event from just another awards show to something spectacular.
The Schlagerchampions 2025 are set to be not just memorable for its award winners but also for the collective celebration of the music genre's rich culture. If last year's festivities are any indication, viewers and attendees alike are not only set for fantastic performances but also creating memories with their favorite stars.
The excitement is palpable as January 11 nears, promising to be another unforgettable night showcasing the best of Schlager music.
