Comeback - Die Große Chance

Limahl is one of several former pop stars competing in Germany for the chance of a comeback. The winner will get the chance to record an album with a top producer and tour Germany

The other contestants are Haddaway, Chris Norman, C.C. Catch, Coolio, Emilia, Markus, Benjamin Boyce, Jazzy and the Weather Girls.

The series of shows is being broadcast on TV channel Pro-7. For each round of the competition the contestant has to perform an assigned song (which might be one suggested by the artist themselves) from a particular style of music. A panel of judges vote on how well each artist performs and viewers from Germany, Switzerland and Austria also get to contribute by voting by phone. Gradually the number of contestants are reduced with the lowest vote each week dropping out.

The Shows

On March 8th a single titled "Survivor" was released by the artists involved as "Comeback United". Following on from that is a double CD, one of which is best of originals -the artists hits from the past (for Limahl his track will be NeverEnding Story) and best of show (Limahls performance of 'Can your feel the Love Tonight' from the Ballad show) The album is scheduled for release on March 22nd .
