ProSieben show - Semi-final of "The Masked Singer": Who is Klaus Claus?
He was Klaus Claus, Santa's brother: German singer-songwriter Tim Bendzko was eliminated in the semi-finals of the ProSieben show "The Masked Singer" on Saturday evening. The pop singer - dressed as Santa's brother - complained afterwards to singer and guessing team member Rea Garvey, who was right with his tip, that his bumpy English skills had been skewered. However, Bendzko took the criticism of his pronunciation with a smile. "It was very exhausting to be under the costume, but it was a lot of fun," said the 38-year-old.Klaus Claus, whose costume consisted mainly of a beard, was the first to sing "Stronger (What doesn't kill you)" by Kelly Clarkson on Saturday evening. For Rea Garvey, the peculiar English suggested his colleague Tim Bendzko. Ruth Moschner guessed pop singer Mickie Krause, comedian Rick Kavanian Gregor Gysi.
In the guessing show, which originated in South Korea, celebrities dressed in elaborately oversized costumes perform as singers. Some are professionals, others have a soft spot for music. The celebrities are revealed as soon as they don't get enough votes or win at the very end.
The final on December 23 will now feature the favorite Ice Princess, the Lulatsch, the Troll and the Mustang. The Ice Princess had initially won a three-way battle against Lulatsch and Klaus Claus - and was the first finalist to enter the next episode of the music show with the most viewer votes. Klaus Claus still had to fight. His second song "Let it Snow" by Dean Martin obviously didn't win the hearts of the viewers. In the end, he had to admit defeat to the mustang. The wild horse thrilled the audience with hits by Guns 'n' Roses and Kenny Loggins and won the last ticket to the final.
Actor Uwe Ochsenknecht, who appeared as Kiwi, was revealed before Bendzko. Other participants in the current season included singer Katja Ebstein, model Eva Padberg and journalist Jenke von Wilmsdorff.
