Thomas Godoj

Thomas Godoj is a German rock-pop singer and songwriter of Polish origin. He was the winner of the fifth season of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS), the German version of Pop Idol.

The judges enjoyed his rock style and attitude and each one voted him on to the next round, and later to the top 15. In the first live show, Thomas performed Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol and received over a minutes standing ovation from the audience while the jury gave him overwhelming praise. Week after week, Thomas performed until he reached the Top 2. Godoj won the final contest with 62.2%. Although Thomas was a front-runner from the start of the competition, he landed in the bottom groups twice during live result shows. But after the voting results were published, it was shown that Thomas received the highest percentage of votes every week. This places him in the DSDS history, along with Mark Medlock, as a contestant with the highest number of votes each week. Now he has already released several studio albums after his victory in 2008. He has more and more indulged into the genre of German rock.
