Superstar

Believe it or not,we are aware of all the hype that American Idol is creating over here in Germany. It is all over the internet and even CNN internation has stories about it. But were you aware that Germany has a contest that is fashioned after American Idol. It is called "Super Star". The format is very simular but I don't think that the fame is as great for the winner as it is in America. On a side note, in Switzerland, they just had their recent final in their version of this singing talent show. The winner this year was a graduate of BFA! Kind of cool! Here is another clip for you to enjoy and see a poor guy who just can't sing. I think you may enjoy his attempt even in a strong German accent. Count this as your culture lesson for today! Before he sings, he is telling the judges that he puts his whole heart into every performance. You be the judge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaknhSXE08o

    Ok, I did understand the last sentence - "not good". That pretty much sums up that performance. Kind of interesting to see the Idol backdrop in another cultural context.
