Voting controversy

edit

Annemarie Eilfeld demanded a redo after she was eliminated in the Top 3 show.[1] RTL admitted that a speaker in the "reminder" trailers following the show had told viewers to vote 03 for Eilfeld and 02 for Daniel Schuhmacher.[1] She called this problem a "scandal".[1] The mistake was not considered big enough for RTL to bother with. After the initial show, Eilfeld had 19.3% of the vote and ended up with 19.8% with the second place contestant receiving a much higher total.[1] Angry DSDS fans complained and demanded either a repeat of the Top 3 show or a three-way final between Eilfeld, Schuhmacher and Sarah Kreuz.[1] Eilfeld's father was outraged over the error and reportedly considering taking legal action against RTL.[1]

Holger Göpfert

edit

Holger Göpfert (born 13 May 1981 in Würzburg) worked as an administration employee in Würzburg and is a soccer player. He auditioned in season 3 but did not make it through to the recall. At 13, Holger began to teach himself keyboard and to sing pass after songs. He also taught himself to play piano and guitar. He is a huge fan of the Beatles, Queen and Elvis in which he had sung songs in the show by these artists. His favorite song is "Oh Darling!" by the Beatles, in which he sang on the "Top 15" show and was selected further by call in votes. He was a fan favorite due to his excellent performing and entertainment rather than his voice. Although considered a joke contestant, he was well known for being a favorite and possible winner of the competition until his elimination.

Benny Kieckhäben

edit

Benny Kieckhäben (born 11 February 1990) is known for his unexpected audition due to way he looked. He was put through by all three judges after singing "If I Ever Fall in Love". Since, he has become somewhat of a favorite in the competition, although has been in the bottom every week, due to his good-sounding voice and his use of props (such as a cage in his performance of "Don't Cha"). He is openly gay. Throughout the competition, he was known to sing songs by female artists.
