Although many “Wetten, dass..?” viewers were disappointed by the power duo Helene Fischer and Shirin David, the two are polarizing. This is particularly proven by a look at YouTube.

Offenburg – November 25, 2023 will go down in TV history – and for several reasons. On the one hand, Thomas Gottschalk (73) finally said goodbye to his successful show “Wetten,dass..?” after 36 years. On the other hand, Helene Fischer (39) presented the new edition of her hit “Atemlos durch die Nacht”, which she released ten years ago and has now spiced up with rapper Shirin David (28). Her appearance caused divided opinions among viewers, but garnered a lot of interest on YouTube.

Many people criticized on social networks that the experienced musicians did not sing live, but only delivered their show with full playback. Quite apart from the fact that the duo itself is also seen as controversial: While some think that David’s rap interludes destroy Helene Fischer’s cult hit, others celebrate a contemporary modernization of “Atemlos”.

And there was also praise for the performance that the two women put on in eye-catching glittery outfits. In any case, one thing is certain: the appearance will continue to be a topic of conversation for days afterwards – and real click records.

As controversial as the singer duo is, interest is obviously huge even after the broadcast. An exchange of blows on the show also caused a stir: Shirin David had Thomas Gottschalk appear with a feminist slogan on “Wetten,dass..?”. Sources used: schlagerprofis.de
