Helene Fischer: Not only for Schlager fans a star
Helene Fischer brought national team and fans to the World Cup celebration of jubilation: "Breathless through the night ..."
© imago / Future ImageWhy is only Helene Fischer on everyone's lips? If you look closer, you see that our world is made up of nothing but parallel universes. Gothic fans, Porsche drivers, stamp collectors, the FDP - they all live in the middle of us, but hardly an outsider knows about these microcosms. It's different with the world of the hit song. The vast majority know about their protagonists. Howard Carpendale, Andy Borg, Andrea Berg, Florian Silbereisen - we all know each other from the colorful gossips in doctors' waiting rooms or the TV teasers for the "Welcome to Carmen Nebel" show. A big parallel world, the world of the hit song. But she usually circles in her own galaxy. And never a hit star gets lost in another world.
Until now. Until Helene Fischer. This is a pop singer, yes. "There are people who do not even like to say the word 'Schlager'," says the 28-year-old, "but I've got my audience with it." A big one: she has sold five million albums since her debut about eight years ago. Their concerts in the largest halls in Germany are notoriously sold out and gigantic productions. She has long had her own TV show, played in the "Dream Ship" and crossed the line between hit and pop for the first time in March when she hosted the "Echo" award - she did a very good job.

Since then, she has obviously been called to greater things. Channels vie for the on-screen presence of the all-encompassing Gesamtkunstwerk. It is rumored that she could bet "that ...?" by Markus Lanz, oh, actually, the station chiefs could imagine everything when it comes to Helene Fischer. A movie with her in the lead role is in preparation. It seems that she should keep the German entertainment machinery running on her own.
The shoulders on which everything weighs, are quite narrow. But the woman, 1.58 meters tall, has a weight that can not be measured in kilos. Helene Fischer, born in Siberia, emigrated to Germany at the age of three and a half, is the upcoming superstar in this country. "It was clear to me from the start that I did not just want to be perceived as a pop singer," she says. She studied music, can dance, is acrobatically gifted. "I never wanted to just sing people off, but entertain them," says Fischer, "but it does not matter what that's called." Anyway, this drawer thinking!
Of that, she believes, there is far too much in Germany. That's why she does not even think she has to get out of anyone. She, herself a fan of the American indie rock band Kings of Leon, is gradually expanding her boundaries. This is best seen on their stage shows, which have the best international entertainment format.
Not less than two and a half hours Helene Fischer entertains her always frenetic audience, They sing their acoustic repertoire with a really good voice, but also covert Lady Gaga, Queen and other pop greats. Their twelve dancers are almost all from Los Angeles. She changes clothes half a dozen times during the show. And sometimes she puts it in outfits, with which she would make a sensation even on erotic fairs, such as in a skin-tight latex body suit.
That's why Robbie Williams is just right, pretty sexy. And yet Helene Fischer surrounds a strangely pure, almost virginal aura. Anyone who sees them can not help it, no matter what you call what they do. "Everything is open to me, and my audience goes with it," she says, "and there are always newcomers, young people, rockers - I discover the weirdest guys in the audience."
I do not let negative thoughts get to me. That's a law for me.
But her talent obviously also lies in the interpersonal sphere. You have never heard a bad word about her or her. For her fans, she is a saint, and even reputable journalists from "star" on "F.A.Z" to "Tagesspiegel" who want to illuminate by profession any dark abyss, find nothing wrong with her. Nothing! Not even her relationship with Florian Silbereisen, with whom she has formed the crown prince couple of the German Schlager for five years, is subject to greater speculation or even ridicule, as is otherwise quite common in media circles. You do not hear much of both.Fischer does not tell anything private; And yet nobody has the feeling that it is closed or inaccessible. That's an art.
Fischer can take people for themselves, no matter what they do where. Why is that? "I do not let negative thoughts get to me," she says, "that's a law for me." Be damn addicted to harmony, try to clear up all friction before they can grow into a fight. Down-to-earthness: That's one of the key words she likes to use - but also people who talk about her. "No one around me treats me as a star, and I'm extremely good," she says, "as soon as I get off the stage, I leave the fake world behind me, but to get into normal life, not all through Seeing the show fog is already taking its time. "
This helps their home. "Schlager fans like being in the comfort zone and sticking to what they know geographically," says Helene Fischer, "that's not the case with me." Her sense of home is not tied to any place, not to Krasnoyarsk in Siberia, where she was born, not to Woellstein in Rhineland-Palatinate, where she grew up. Home are her Russian-German parents, her sister, the silver-traveling Flori. And in a way, the hit.
She was in her early 20s when she was thrown into this hit world. Come on, her manager said. "And I actually only experienced positive things, I was accepted into this little family, they helped me, and at some point I swam free," says Helene Fischer.
The fact that her immaculate friendliness is reduced to her has something to do with it: in the eight years of her career there has not been a single kink, no setback, no crisis. The only direction was: up. Everyone has gone through all their border extensions. This is remarkable, and it seems that there are no limits to Helene Fischer. As if the world were open to her. Not their parallel world. But the big one.
Cross-singer
Born in Siberia and raised in Rhineland-Palatinate, Helene Fischer, 28, is one of the top stars in German hit music, but also covert pop or rock songs. In March she moderated the awarding of the "German Music Prize" and got two "echoes". Her last album "For a Day" (2011) has sold more than 800,000 copies so far.
