Deutschland sucht den Superstar

Germany seeks a Superstar - TV program

Toytown Germany > Discussion forum > Germany-wide > Life in Germany

Okay then,

Anyone wanting to make a foray into deep German culture can watch this TV programme on Saturday nights about 9.15pm.

It is hosted by a guy and a somewhat tasty blonde who seems to possess no brain. Every week I wind up my wife about how much or little she is wearing!

The panel of experts include a guy called Dieter Bohlen who seems to be on every three minutes on Deutsch TV. Used to sing with Modern Talking, perhaps until Grunemeyer or Nena Germany's only pop band.

Last year a guy who lools like Schumacher, named Alexander, won it. He is good looking and sings okay. Even better we both thought was Juliet who was dead sexy, and sang fabulous. Sympathy votes from dopy Deutsch viewers put Daniel Kulbibock (sp?) in third place. He is black haired and looks about ten.

This weekend they savaged a poor 20 year old girl who ran off crying.

Gripping entertainment!

Jeremy.

Doesn't that happen at least three times per show?? But then maybe girls who are younger and are convinced that they can sing and want to make a career in singing. And when you listen to it you know already that the panel is going to take a piss out of them...

She was effing terrible though.
I watched some of the repeat on Sunday morning.
She wailed like a kicked dog in a mincer.
Juliette is on her second pair of breast implants and has had several nose jobs.
Her new single is also very bad in a Sarah Connor style.
I liked Aida's performance best even though her singing wasn't all that.
It is Big Band next week - god knows what Philippe will do. Mack the Knife probably, can't see anything else fitting really.

Being too sick to do much else, I watched a full episode last week for the first time. The girl they savaged was 17 and by far the worst that night. I don't know how she sang in the past, but she did an extremely crap version of "Material Girl". Her dance teacher should be ashamed to show her face too.
Keydeck
So Katrina, you've seen the show then smile.gif
Katrina
I think that it is important to keep in touch with German Leitkultur.
What else will I discuss with my manicurist? wink.gif
Keydeck
Just checked and thingamajiggy, bimbo-boobs is called Michelle Hunziker. Thick as a plank or not, she's quite fine to look at.

When I was in Australia, I was at my sister's place on the night they showed the finals of 'World Idol'. Apparently, in Germany, the winner is declared a superstar, in the rest of the world, they are an Idol. It is obviously the exact same show though. My sister was right into it, so after dinner we sat down to see the best the world had to offer. The German guy was absolutely savaged by the judges. One called him a karaoke singer. But he really was crap. I heard later that the Norwegian singer won. He had funny teeth, but at least he had a good voice and appeared to have a likable personality.

I don't know what the point of my post was, but it's 5 minutes of my life I'm never getting back...
Keydeck
I saw that world idol thingy when I was in Spain.

It was an absolute joy to see Alexander getting slated by the judges. Probably not very rational but the guy just incites anger in me. One look at his annoying scrunched up face and I want to beat 7 shades of shite out of the fucker.

Aside: I'm off cigarettes at present so may appear to be a touch more testy than normal
jeremy
I saw the Word Idol thing. They were a bit unfair. Alexander is not that crap. I mean hang on...they are ALL crap.

The Norwegian with the teeth looks a bit like Jimmy Osmond grown up.
Keydeck
No, by comparison to the rest of the contestants that I saw on that show, he was crap! The dancing he was doing looked stupid and he was concentrating so hard on getting the steps right that his vocals were going all over the place. If he stays still he's got a very good (albeit annoying to me) voice but with the messing that he was doing he just didn't have a chance. Having said all that, the slating that he got, deserved as it was, will probably be good for him as he may step down off his high horse and realise that he still has a lot to learn.
Big C
yes i too saw bits of it!
I was really pleased that the ugly norwegian guy won, because he was amazing, the guy could really sing. it's good to see that it's not always fake looks and a cheesy dance routine that win these things.
flogger
@keydeck...believe that michelle bird was married to eros ramozzzzzzzzzzzzzzotti or such like ..until he traded her in for a newer model.

not that i watch it you understand.
jeremy
Well how old do you reckon the blonde bimbo is?
Big C
"Michelle Hunziker wurde am 24. Januar 1977 in Lugano, Schweiz, geboren."
says the website under Biografie!

so that would make her...
Keydeck
Start shopping Jeremy if you wanna get her a birthday present. By my estimation she'll be 27 on the 24th (but I could be wrong)

Beaten to it by Big C. Darn & Drat!
jeremy
@Keydeck:

You mean Drat, drat and double drat!

Now which cartoon would that be from?
Keydeck
Was it the "Catch the pigeon" one?
Big C
yeah darstadly (sp?) used to say it, and also in "Wacky races"
jeremy
Now that was quick!

My brother could laugh like Muttley!
Big C
but this is all off topic, let's get back to the wonderful michelle!
mdfbayern
Hey - she shares the same birthday with me - wonder if she would want to pop round and help me blow... out my candles !! rolleyes.gif
profundo
I wouldn't call her a bimbo... she doesn't show nipple- and I searched her entire site. Things are probably hard as the bread from Tengelmann.

I have noticed that Germans use the word 'Super' when they really only mean 'cool' or 'nice' so it is not suprising.
Big C
i'm sure i remember one pic where she is wearing a see through top and you can see her nips. i dunno if that counts thought, as it's not nude nip, but still visible!
jeremy
@Big C:

Can you at all provide this picture of the Nips for us all to see? This would indeed fulfill the requirements of the definition Bimbo.
Keydeck
Do a Google image search for "Michelle Hunziker" and that should satisfy your curiosity.

http://images.google.de/images?hl=de&ie=UT...=N&tab=wi&meta=
Big C
@jeremy - both these pics show her nips and are from the link posted earlier, gotta keep those eyes open.

http://hunziker.curvedspaces.com/63.jpg
http://hunziker.curvedspaces.com/75.jpg
However the google search provided by keydeck provides a lot more. The first pic is a nice paparazzi holiday snap!

Then again seeing this picture:
http://www.allcelebrity.it/Hunziker/14.jpg

makes me wish she wasn't showing her nips - eurgh!
Jimbo
Keydeck pushing the envelope there again mate - good work.

A new TT record - TT'er with a bird, yet most overtly supports pornography? It's got to be Keydeck, surely?

Oh, and lads, nevermind the nips, look at that arse!!!
Keydeck
No fair Jim. Admiration of the female form and quick Googling skills doth not the pornographer make.

Again, just as pootle said in another thread:

@Keydeck - does your Missus know you host such blatant filth on your site???
Big C
@sparty - well i did mention that the pics contained nips!
Keydeck
Dats not filth man!! If I felt it was or was given reason to think that there were objections to it, I'd remove it all quick-smart.
jeremy
Only us non-Germans get hung up on this stuff!

When I worked for the US military I had this bikini screensaver on my PC. I was asked to remove it as it was "offensive" to women on the base! Hey the women were fully covered, and absolutely gorgeous glamorous models! Not sleazy at all!
Keydeck
Me's got the 2004 Aubade calendar at home in the office. Very classy it is indeed. And given to me by herself.
Katrina
I think yer missus was just after some new undies actually.
Is bloody dear that Aubade stuff (though if anyone has a print ad can I have it because I could hang it up in fron of my exercise bike as motivation? At the moment my DVD set of the first series of "Alias" is keeping me pedalling...).
wink.gif Katrina
PS Huniziker is more famous in Italy for her backside and legs than her breasts and was in fact a Coppertone girl (as in the logo with the girl's bikini bottoms being pulled down by a dog).
Keydeck
Katrina, ask and you shall receive. This is the ad that you're likely to see around town.

The stuff is very expensive for what you're getting. The only shop I've seen it in so far is the little place by the Frauenkirche as you come around the corner from GAP and Bodyshop run by a most unfriendly middle-aged biddy.

Jimbo
Agent Provocateur - great stuff they make, albeit expensive. Walking into their shop on Berwick St in W1 was one of the most interesting experiences of my life. Group of girls were stood down the back, trousers on the floor trying knickers on over their 'normal' knickers. Must have been 5 or 6 of 'em. I almost passed out.
Keydeck
If you're in the market, I'd also recommend Intimissimi. Don't seem to currently have an outlet in Munich though.

Jesus, I appear to know more about this subject than I realised.
Katrina
Ta for that!
I now need to go and get a copy of the Otto catalogue for the Heidi Klum bits too ha ha, 3kg off already! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Hertie am Hauptbahnhof also stock stock some Aubade styles too BTW and the fitting women are extremely good. That woman is bloody unhelpful isn't she?
One good thing about Aubade is that they have a permament collection of basic styles which are never deleted so if you find something that suits you can repurchase.
Have you tried that place in the Fünf Höfe as well? Called Mohrmann Basics, that and their main outlet may well be worth a visit but only if she is small(er) of size.
The company Sixty Eight (google it) might also be of interest to you.
AP stuff isn't all that and is frankly common now (I am an undies snob ha ha).

@Keydeck and Katrina:

Do you mind awfully if I print this picture and sellotape it on a pole 3 feet from my bike? It might make me cycle faster to work. Lord knows I needed motivation to cycle the 7k through Perlacher forest in the sleet this morning!

Jeremy.
Keydeck
Whatever gets you through mate.
Katrina
Who watched on Sat/Sunday morning?
Come on admit it!
Philippe was great. I am a tragic Philippe fan and am not ashamed of this.
Honestly.
Well, ok a little bit.
wink.gif Katrina
jeremy
Is Philippe the one who has a head as big as his body? I think I also saw him. No this big band thing was crap I am sorry.

I saw a bit but I was busy trying to learn video capturing on my PC (unsuccessful)
