Fanny Stapf and Andi Knoll each welcome ten talents who will come with a new one perform. Singer/songwriter Thorsteinn Einarsson, who was already part of the three-person jury in the first and third editions of “The Big Chance – Let’s Sing and Dance”, will be a permanent juror in all four live shows.
Thorsteinn Einarsson: “Ten years ago I had the honor of performing in the finale of ‘The Big Chance’ with my own song ‘Leya’. This event marked the beginning of my musical journey – a dream that may have remained unfulfilled without this show. Now, ten years later, being part of the jury of this successful show feels like coming home to me. I’m really looking forward to meeting numerous outstanding talents.”
