“When Trude from Buxtehude turns Shirin David” – that’s how Laura Müller’s first music video can be summed up, says Dieter Bohlen. Michael Wendler’s wife’s singing performance also met with criticism online.
This shot backfired: with much fanfare, Laura Müller announced a “clip”, which, after further research, turned out to be Music video turns out. “Superstar” is the name of the song by pop singer Michael Wendler’s wife. In the comment column for the video, many users ridicule the start of their singing career, and pop titan Dieter Bohlen even makes a devastating verdict.
“I’m almost at a loss for words,” Bohlen told the “Bild” newspaper. “I really feel sorry for Laura that she allows herself to be pulled into the Wendler cart like that. Poor girl, if she thinks she can make money with a song like that.” The song sounds the way Wendler would imagine a modern song would today. “As if Trude from Buxtehude thinks she has to go after Shirin David. Laura, something like that won’t work,” said Bohlen.
After watching the video, Bohlen summarized it again: “The video is great, the singing is terrible, the title has no chance.” It’s all so “amateurish”. Numerous comments under the video also criticize Laura harshly. “I didn’t expect anything and was still disappointed!” writes one user. Another: “Cheapest OF advertising ever. Completely autotune in the chorus and otherwise just read-out rhyming shit with no sense of tact. That’s embarrassing.”
Laura Müller raps rather poorly in the song “Superstar”. Lines like “Look at my body, do you think I’m hot? Your eyes are undressing me, Martini is on ice” seem clumsily rhymed and more like something from the Onlyfans universe, where Laura now collects the money for the Wendlers. The video production also comes more from the area of cost-benefit efficiency: In front of a white background, the 23-year-old lounges in her underwear on a sports car and in bed with two fit male models.
There had previously been speculation that Laura would venture into the porn industry for Onlyfans. The fact that it has now become music is also surprising. They had already made an attempt four years ago and sang a few lines in an episode of the RTLZWEI documentary about the Wendlers. Even back then it wasn’t exhilarating. But the 23-year-old also admitted that singing is not her passion. “I’m only doing it because I have to,” she said at the time. “I don’t feel anything when I sing. I won’t become a singer either. I’m just decoration.”
