“Das Supertalent” is the show of surprises and causes a lot of excitement among young and old. The RTL program, which brings unknown people with their bizarre talents onto the stage, took a break in 2022 and 2023.
The current season of the varied casting show started on RTL last week. Back as chief juror: pop titan Dieter Bohlen. He is supported by his friend Bruce Darnell, who became known as a model coach on “GNTM”.
“Das Supertalent” – new faces in the show
The Russian-born professional dancer and former “Miss Volgograd” Ekaterina Leonova, who has been a permanent member of “Let’s Dance” since 2013, is also at the podium. Anna Ermakova completes the four-person jury for “Das Supertalent”. Boris Becker’s daughter wants to gain a foothold in German show business. She won the 2023 “Let’s Dance” season alongside Valentin Lusin.
The first candidate on Saturday (February 3rd) is Peter Eckstein from the Fichtelgebirge. The pizza supplier wants to impress with Dieter Bohlen’s first “DSDS” anthem “We have a dream”. His big dream: He wants the golden buzzer from Poptitan. But the 61-year-old misses his performance and his voice is also more than poor. “It starts off very badly,” complains Bruce. Shaking heads in the audience too.
Peter sings crookedly – and wins Dieter Bohlen’s heart
Peter starts again. He sings completely crookedly and too quietly. The jury looks embarrassed, but the audience supports him and finally even Dieter, Bruce, Anna and Ekaterina wave to the beat. Suddenly Dieter Bohlen jumps up from the pitch and sprints to the golden buzzer. There is a commotion in the studio, his colleagues run after him and are just able to stop him from pressing the buzzer. “He’s a fan of mine!” Dieter explains his impulsive action. “No, no, no, don’t think about it!” Bruce warns him. Peter hugs his idol: “Dieter, I say thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope. I made you proud.”
He suspects that he might not be able to continue with the “super talent” today. “I don’t necessarily need the golden buzzer. For me, my childhood dream has come true…my children will be proud of me. I didn’t want to achieve anything more than that.” The jury is touched, but it still gets a no three times. Dieter also has to be honest: “Peter, it wasn’t really good, but you’ll still get a YES from me.” It was already clear to everyone beforehand: Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to move forward.
