The fifth season of Deutschland sucht den Superstar live shows began March 8, 2008. It is currently hosted by Marco Schreyl and jury panel, Dieter Bohlen, Anja Lukaseder, and Andreas "Bär" Läsker also star. This season, instead of making Top 20 Shows (where the boys and girls are split up in 2 groups of 10 and the viewing public voting for their favorite), the producers decided to make Top 15 Live-show "Now or never" and chose the top 10 live to premier in the mottoshows for the upcoming season.
