Voting Controversy
Annemarie Eilfeld demanded a redo after she was eliminated in the Top 3 show. RTL admitted that a speaker in the “reminder” trailers following the show had told viewers to vote 03 for Annemarie Eilfeld and 02 for Daniel Schuhmacher. She called this problem a "scandal". The mistake wasn't big enough for RTL to bother with. After the initial show Annemarie Eilfeld had 19.3% of the vote and ended up with 19.8% with the second place contestant receiving a much higher total. Angry DSDS fans complained and demanded either a repeat of the Top 3 show or a three-way final between Annemarie Eilfeld, Daniel Schuhmacher and Sarah Kreuz. Annemarie Eilfeld's father was outraged over the error and reportedly considering taking legal action against RTL.

Famous quotes containing the words voting and/or controversy:
“It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting.”
—Tom Stoppard (b. 1937)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
