Deutschland sucht den Superstar - 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.

So Katrina, you've seen the show then

I think that it is important to keep in touch with German Leitkultur.
What else will I discuss with my manicurist?

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

@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.

Well how old do you reckon the blonde bimbo is?

"Michelle Hunziker wurde am 24. Januar 1977 in Lugano, Schweiz, geboren."
says the website under Biografie!

so that would make her...
