He is back. The only true Dieter Bohlen (68) is finally back on the jury panel of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”. His fans also think it’s great – a DSDS candidate is now telling about her very special connection to the pop titan.
One candidate took the line “You’re my heart, you’re my soul” by Dieter Bohlen very much to heart, because she feels a sense of warmth when she thinks of the pop titan.
Actress and singer Susanna Okonowski (30) wants to know: she is one of the candidates for DSDS.
For them, planks are part of the family! “I remember sitting in front of the TV as a little girl and watching DSDS. It gives me such a sentimental feeling, as if it were a family,” says Susanna to BILD.
AND: She even has planks hanging on her fridge, so he greets her every morning when she comes into the kitchen. A real fan love. “When I think of Dieter Bohlen, I see my parents dancing to Modern Talking on New Year’s Eve. They also grew up with music,” says Susanna.
So it’s no surprise that she chose Modern Talking’s “Cheri Cheri Lady” as the song. However, she sang her own version of it to the jury during the casting.
But what made the Berlin woman stand out right from the start was her sexy appearance.
She appeared in front of the jury wearing leather pants, a denim jacket and a crop top. “Very pretty,” Katja Krasavice marveled. Even Dieter Bohlen couldn’t resist a saying: “Are you into paint and leather?”
The jury’s comments don’t unsettle Susanna: “Of course it’s also a compliment and I accept it that way,” she admits to BILD.
Before DSDS, Susanna worked as an actress: She had various guest roles on “Fack ju Göhte”, “Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten”, “Nachtschwestern” and soon she will even be seen in “Tatort”.
In addition to acting talent, the candidate has also gained experience in singing. She learned to play the guitar at the age of eight, later became a member of a reggae band and completed a jazz course.
And her appearance? It was very well received – Pietro Lombardi (30) said during the song interlude: “Cool version, so sexy.” The pop titan agreed: “I’ll immediately rewrite the lyrics: Sexy Sexy Lady.”
The jurors unanimously sent Susanna to the next round. The vocal training probably paid off.
