  • On Saturday, Dieter Bohlen surprisingly announced that the 21st season would take place in 2024.

  • The age limit falls, anyone over the age of 16 can take part in the castings.

  • In the show on Saturday, Lorent Berisha from Lucerne made it to the next round.

The casting show “Germany is looking for the superstar” (DSDS) should actually have gone into their hot phase for the last time. The first live show was on Saturday, DSDS should be history in mid-April. RTL has announced that it will end the format following season 20.

But Chief judge Dieter Bohlen dropped the bomb on the live broadcast. DSDS will continue in 2024. RTL also assures that this is not an April Fool’s joke. «There is a 21st season. I’m happy!” says Bohlen. He spoke of an “incredible spread” of “DSDS” not only on linear television and via streaming, but also on Instagram and Tiktok – that’s why you want to continue. In the planned 21st season, according to him, there should no longer be an age limit: anyone over the age of 16 can apply. So far, only singers up to the age of 30 have been able to participate.

age limit falls

Inga Lescheck, the new program director of RTL and RTL+, says: “Together with my team, I started to inspire our viewers with our programs. With the 20th season of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” this has already been achieved very successfully. Both on RTL and on RTL+, the popularity was above our expectations and significantly above the previous year’s values»

This positive response has prompted RTL to continue with DSDS in 2024. “And last but not least, because RTL is celebrating its 40th birthday next year, we are opening the doors to talents of all ages – anyone and everyone can apply! We are looking for the absolute superstar across all generations,” Lescheck continues. So the age limit is falling. Anyone over the age of 16 can come to the casting. “Apply now,” calls Bohlen. Previously, the age limit was 16 to 30 years.

The appearance of the former “DSDS” judge Bruce Darnell seemed a bit bizarre, but funny. The 65-year-old walked across the show stage like a catwalk and fell into Bohlen’s arms. The subsequent dialogue between the two (Bohlen: “You smell good. Where were you?” – Darnell: “Dieter, you great person!”) made up for numerous musically questionable performances by the top ten candidates. All ten performed winning titles from previous seasons. But neither Rose Ndumba (24) nor Aileen Sager (23) and Peris Achilleas Grigoriadis (25) might convince Bohlen and his jury colleagues Krasavice, Pietro Lombardi (30, “Call My Name”) and pop singer Leony (25) vocally .

Lorent Berisha one lap further

According to the jury, the best performances of the evening came from Lawa Baban (26), Lorent Berisha (19), from Central Switzerland, Sem Eisinger (29) and Monika Gajek (21). Gajek is “the best female voice in the competition,” enthused Bohlen. Lucerne’s Lorent Berisha meanwhile made it to the next round. On April 8th he has to prove himself to the jury once more – but according to the “Luzerner Zeitung” he is already thinking regarding the final.
