Popstars 2015 is the eleventh season of Popstars (Germany), in which young and aspiring female singer compete for a place in a new band. The show returns to its original broadcaster RTL II, which aired season 1 and 2 of the show. With the previous bands lacking success the production intends to return to the shows roots and focus more on the singing and look for different types. The show aired Mondays on 8.15 pm. Due to very low ratings, the show was moved to 9.15 pm. In the end the ratings were that bad, that the show was kicked off the prime time and was moved to a slot airing Saturdays at 6.00 pm.
This year the casting phase was skipped, instead of that the producers looked for talented girls all over Germany, including social media and YouTube. At the end 27 girls were invited to audition in front of the Jury. After a solo singing performance and group choreography the jury choose 18 girls to enter the Popstars-Academy.
"Popstars Academy"
Instead of the Workshop phase introduced in earlier seasons, this year the girls enter the Popstars Academy. During their 8-week stay at the Academy, the girls will work on their singing and dancing skills, work on songs for the future band, perform as groups in front of the judges, face eliminations and get ready for their future life as a band.

After an intensive selection process 27 young women compete to kick off the new "Popstars" season and compete for the coveted places in the academy. Some candidates get right away an opportunity to sing for the jury, while others still have time until the next day to prepare. Friendships start to blossom - but the nervousness increases. The next day after the audition Bella Garcia checked the dance talent of the young women. During an intense choreography training some of them stand out, others have little experience in the dance hall and find it difficult. The candidates rehearse the choreography and eventually perform the choreography in groups in front of the jury. Following Stefanie, Miss Platnum and Bella retire for deliberation to decide which 18 girls will enter the Academy and which 9 will be eliminated.
