Sürpriz were a six-member German-Turkish musical group who represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999 in Tel Aviv with the song "Reise nach Jerusalem - Kudüs'e seyahat", which finished in third place. Their good showing at the Contest failed to translate into substantial sales, and "Reise nach Jerusalem - Kudüs'e seyahat" failed to chart in Germany. The group recorded a self-titled CD, which was released in Turkey only in 2000, and continued through several personnel changes before disbanding in 2002.
