Sascha SchmitzTialda van Slogteren Room2012 is a German pop
quartet , which originated in the late fall of 2007 on the sixth installment of the German version of the international television talent show "Popstars".History
Formation
Under the motto "Wir suchen den heißesten Live-Act Deutschlands" ("We are looking for Germany's hottest live act") "Popstars" returned with a sixth installment in the summer of 2007, this time searching for Germany's best live performers. Hopeful singers and dancers attended open television auditions in a couple of German cities, judged by choreographer and dancer Detlef "D!" Soost,
music producer Dieter Falk , techno veteranMarusha , singerNina Hagen and singing coachJane Comerford . Over the course of several recalls and re-recalls the judges reduced the contestants to a smaller group that immediately travelled toFüssen to get trained in singing, dancing, and fitness. Considering the contestants for too weak, ProSieben decided to hold auditions in the Netherlands, where a few more dancers and singers were casted. In the end dancers and singers started working on their performance and publicity skills together. While the dancers suddenly were separated from the singers and put into a separate band, calledPopstars Dance Company , the singers continued the competition.On the season's finale on Thursday,
December 6 ,2007 , four of the six were chosen to make the band: Cristobal Moreno, Sascha Schmitz, Julian Kasprzik, and Tialda van Slogteren beat out Norman Ramazan and Marcella McCrae - and eventually formed the group "Room2012".Room2012 became the first German Popstars band whose debut single and
debut album did not reach number 1 in the charts.Actually both the first single and the album reached only the top 10 of the official single charts
