“What do Katja and Leony allow!?” Giovanni Trapattoni would have said. Hard to believe, but on the second DSDS evening there were contradictions from the two new judges, Katja Krasavice and Leony, against the one and only Titan Dieter Bohlen. And there were other cute surprises too.

Thanks to Huy Nguyen! Well, the joy that the 27-year-old candidate presented a very special, namely beautiful version of the modern-talking hit “Atlantis Is Calling”, may have been limited for most people who are not called Dieter Bohlen. But at least it is thanks to him that in the second episode of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” (RTL) learned new things worth knowing about the pop titan.
Because Nguyen, originally from Vietnam, lives in Tostedt. “Do you know that?” he asked shyly. And Dieter knows it! “Sure, I got divorced.” What a beautiful memory it seems. That’s right, now Nguyen remembered: “Yes, I saw you with your red Ferrari.” It’s great when you have something in common. By the way, also the fondness for “Atlantis Is Calling”. The pop titan: “You have a great taste in music. Of course it’s great that you play the song that has been giving me money for 30 years.”

Annoying: The permanent promo clips for format and jurors
So DSDS for the second time. There’s nothing live, everything is snipped together, but it still resonates when watching that the season start brought a ratings defeat in direct comparison with Silbereisen’s “Schlagerfestival” (ARD), but probably an indirect triumph in the long-distance duel season start 2022 vs. season start 2023. With Dieter was doing better for DSDS. Let’s see if it stays that way.
RTL doesn’t seem to trust the roast yet. In any case, the self-adulation of Format and the jurors is overwhelming. To put it into perspective, one has to say: That was also done in 2022. but Even then it was annoying that you had to keep telling the viewers in promo clips how awesome and super-successful these jurors all were. Of course, especially those next to Dieter and Pietro (because you know the two as well as you know Silbereisen). But it comes across as incredibly trying. Motto: “You may not know them, but they smell really great.”

Dieter nags: “You can also find a frog there”
The two less well-known singers, Leony and entertainer Katja Krasavice, are in the process of building up their profile as jurors. Because for the first time there was not always the expectant “What will Papa Dieter say?” look to the left, but own opinions. yeah
Katja’s joker voice led candidates to the recall twice – and even once, although Bohlen was really against it. What the titan found to be nagging about. The two girls helped a unicum, the anonymous artist “Esopios”, appearing with a mask, to the next round, although Dieter (and Pietro) considered his voice “not sufficient”. Katja, meanwhile, found her “pretty scratchy” and Leony “special”.
What Dieter then grumbled about: “I don’t know what the girls heard there, you can also find the croaking of a frog in particular.” Yes, he may like it more when things go like candidate Lara Loeff (21). The bestowed planks after three seconds a lightning-fast, record-breaking early exit: “It won’t work,” said Big Bohlen, “Chancentod. Your voice has nothing. Four times no!” And that, although the others said nothing. Titans are not only omniscient, they can also read minds.

“We have a dream”: Dieter’s heart warms
It was also an evening of colorful surprises. A candidate choir sang “We Have A Dream”, which was sung by the candidates and Dieter (on the piano) in the first season and which made Dieter’s heart really warm (“I’m touched. “). Then he confessed his penchant for old age mildness. But the best surprises were presented by the candidates.
Who would have thought that the two self-confessed nerds Linus “Klang der Noodle” König (18) and Raphael “Ultra Raphi” Chassé (18) from Bergheim would make the recall? But the two were so self-deprecating and weird that there were four yes votes in addition to helplessness. There was an absolute novelty with Sascha Wilhelm. He became the “first candidate to get five yeses,” as Pietro noted. The jury was enthusiastic about Sascha’s “Rebel Yell” (Billy Idol), the fifth yes was given by Sascha’s daughter Cassia, who sat on Pietro’s jury chair and pressed ladies during her dad’s presentation. Cute!

“Mister Germany”: Strong as a bear on the ground, unfortunately weak on the chest
Rose Ndumba (23) from Essen also surprised positively (Leony: “Wow, what energy!”) and Monika Gajek (21) from Salzgitter (Katja: “You sing how you look: beautiful!”) and Ange-Bienvenue Dadjo (27), the singing nurse and honorable person (“My passion is to help others”) from Bielefeld. Negative – at least unfortunately vocally – Raphael Merkt. The former “Mister Germany” (2018) was not only given to the girls (Katja: “You have a lot of star potential”) because of the perfect six-pack. But the victory in the push-up challenge against Pietro did not help against his voice, which was unfortunately too thin. After the singing, he spoke his verdict with almost a little relish: “You can’t sing, my brother.”
Celine Derler (23) from Klagenfurt also surprised. First her parents with the confession “I’m not learning a ‘real’ job, I’m a full-time street musician” and then the jury with a very decent voice. Still, it got exciting. In a 2:2 draw between yes (Katja and Dieter) and no (Leony and Pietro), Katja’s joker vote was the decisive factor. So move on for Celine. And hopefully with new chapters “Useless knowledge about Dieter Bohlen”.
