In January 2008 , it was announced that the group had qualified for the Grand Prix Vorentscheid , the German national pre-selection of the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 . Following several weeks of promotional appearances , No Angels entered the competition in March with Remee-and-Troelsen-produced " Disappear " , competing against all-male groups Marquess and Cinema Bizarre , and singers Tommy Reeve and Carolin Fortenbacher . Widely considered as early favourites by the media , the band eventually finished first , having earned tight 50,5 % of the audience vote over Fortenbacher in the second and final election round . Released on February 29 , 2008 , " Disappear " reached number four in Germany , where it became the band 's biggest-selling single in years . With Germany being one of the biggest financial contributors to the European Broadcasting Union , No Angels were allowed to skip the contest 's semi-finals and automatically qualified for competition with 24 other countries in the finals of the ESC in May 2008 . An estimated 100 million fans watched the final contest , and viewers from all 43 participating nations voted for their favourite performers via text message and telephone . No Angels eventually ranked 23rd place out of the 25 countries that participated with a total of 14 points – taking 12 points from Bulgaria , band member Lucy Diakovska 's native country , and 2 points from Switzerland only . Only the United Kingdom and Poland placed below the four-member female band
