The "DSDS" jury is complete - Beatrice Egli and Loredana next to pop titan
Dieter Bohlen (69) and Pietro Lombardi (31) were already set, now the complete jury for the 21st season of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" has been confirmed. Pop singer Beatrice Egli (35) and rapper Loredana (28) will also be taking part. This was announced by broadcaster RTL in a press release and via Instagram. In the last round, singer Leony (26) and rapper Katja Krasavice (27) sat next to Bohlen and Lombardi.
As different as the two women are musically, they do have one thing in common: they were both born in Switzerland.
Beatrice Egli wants to pay her respects to "DSDS"
Beatrice Egli wants to show her "respect" and "gratitude" to"DSDS" with her participation, RTL quotes the singer as saying. After all, the casting show remains the "origin" of her career. She won the 13th season of the show in 2013 and is one of the few winners to remain successful in the music business after "DSDS". Now she is looking forward to "finding the next talent on 'DSDS' in 2024 together with my fellow countrywoman Loredana, Pietro and Dieter".
Loredana also wants to give something back by taking part in the jury. "I owe a lot to music," the daughter of Kosovan parents told RTL. It has taught her that "you can achieve anything if you believe in yourself and work hard". "DSDS" is "the perfect introduction for talented artists to start a career in music".
What Pietro Lombardi says about the new additions
"I've known Beatrice and Loredana personally for a very long time and I like them both very much," explains Pietro Lombardi. According to the 2011 "DSDS" winner, the two of them "make our round perfect": "Both are very successful and know how the music business works."
RTL Program Director Inga Leschek also raves about the two new signings. "With Beatrice Egli and Loredana, we were able to win two very successful representatives of their respective music genres for the 'DSDS' jury," she says in the press release. Beatrice Egli has "made modern pop hits socially acceptable on 'DSDS' and established herself as a presenter". Loredana is one of the "most popular German rappers".
This is new in season 21 of "DSDS"
In addition to the involvement of Beatrice Egli and Loredana, there will also be a major change to the content in 2024. There is no longer an upper age limit. Now people over the age of 30 can also apply.
A victory for Dieter Bohlen, who had long fought against the "stupid age limit". "There are certainly people who didn't dare to apply in their twenties," said the head judge in an RTL interview in October. "Others may only realize that they have a talent for singing when they get older," said Bohlen.
The Germany-wide casting tour starts in Cologne on December 16. A broadcast date for the new episodes is not yet known. From season 4 onwards, all editions have always started in January. Dieter Bohlen has already revealed that it will be "a little later" this year.
