The ninth episode of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” ended on Saturday evening with a huge surprise! Candidate Kiyan Sepehr Yousefbeik (25) had almost written off the recall note for himself. His performance met with a mixed response from the jury. Dieter Bohlen’s spontaneous action was all the more unexpected….
When Kiyan told what he does for a living, influencer Katja Krasavice (26) in particular took notice. The content manager about his job: “I work for TikTok.” There he has a very important task. Kiyan described it to the jury: “For example, if you upload a video, I’m the one who then corrects it according to the guidelines.”
Kiyan sang “Save Your Tears” by The Weeknd
Katja knows the procedure from painful experience. Her problem on the platform: “I’m really often revealing. I know that. And then when I’m most dressed, it’s banned for revealing content.” She jokingly called out to the contestant, “Fix it!” For the judges, he brought The Weeknd’s “Save Your Tears” with him. Bohlen beamed: “This is one of my favorite songs.”
Found Kiyan meeega: DSDS juror Dieter Bohlen
But could the young man from Hanover sing as well as the American superstar? Kiyan did his best, but couldn’t quite live up to the original. Pietro Lombardi (30) was not impressed. “I didn’t like it that much. I’ll tell you that in all honesty.” He voted no. Likewise singer Leony (25). “You sang it okay, but it didn’t touch me at all.” Until then, only Katja found the number quite acceptable.
So everything was waiting for the verdict of jury boss Dieter Bohlen. He received a surprising amount of praise. “I never thought you could do it that way.” After all, the song is difficult to sing. While Katja just wanted to ask who the candidate had previously chosen as a joker, Bohlen’s decision had already been made.
The hit producer reached under the table for a moment, took out his golden CD and threw it in a high arc to the young singer. With that, Kiyan was catapulted straight into the foreign recall and was really shocked. The lucky guy widened his eyes in total bewilderment and exclaimed, “Whaaat?! Oh my God! Never!” Even Bohlen’s jury colleagues were flabbergasted.
The candidate ran several laps through the studio completely off the roll. Pietro Lombardi already saw Kiyan well ahead in the ranking. Because, according to the singer: “Dieters Goldene have actually always come to the live shows.” Pietro about Bohlen’s spontaneous action: “That’s DSDS: always surprising.”
But now the pressure is increasing for Kiyan. It is a well-known fact that the competition never sleeps…
