I’m so sorry, I totally misread it. So so sorry, so let’s disregard my statement about you ridiculing Helene, and the rest still remains true. Thanks for letting me know. It probably was just too surprising for me hearing someone German not talking bad about Helene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlue 784 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Cro is awesome (my avi). He has really a good taste in fashion (imo) & he's kinda mysterious (the mask thing). I really enjoy his songs. It's rap but we can say it's pop & rap (King of RAOP) for some songs When I was younger (& in the "emo" era) we were listening a lot to Lafee with a friend.

Partially because “Ew Schlager”(even tho she isn’t actually THAT Schlager-ish. That’s just the sound she started with, and now she does huge sold out Stadium tours and tv productions, so basically “Schlager to pop” like Taylor went “country to pop”. ) and partially because that’s how German showbiz works kinda. It’s bizarre. It’s kinda like Gaga has said several times, that we in general want to see the Popstar Fall and we love a good Phoenix rising from it’s ashes story. But in Germany we just really really hate everything that’s popular and big. Heidi Klum, Tokio Hotel (back in the day we really really hated them while they were crazily popular), Helene, Angela Merkel, Sarah Connor (kinda the German Britney Spears/XTina, she used to sing English tho, that’s why I didn’t mention her. But she started doing German Pop Stuff in later Years, so give her a try.), you name it. And that isn’t a new thing, Marlene Dietrich was never near as liked here as she was globally, German media basically hated everything Marlene related, even long after WWII.

After listening to her most popular song I thought that’s something people would generally like and would get huge radio airplay No family’s safe when I sashay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Katja Krasavice, the German queen of pop. OT: Well, German music is not good for learning the language. I mean, we have rap artists and some pop and songwriter artists, but they mostly use the language in a very non-standard German way (for example, the sentence "Ich möchte nicht mehr" (I dont wanna anymore) becomes "Ich will nich mehr") which may be confusing for learners (to the Germans: I know this example is pretty easy and lame, but we learnt it ). Also consider that these artists all have their own way of singing it ("ich" becomes "isch" is pretty common ) You should really consider to listen to Schlager (like Helene Fischer or Andrea Berg) or even Volksmusik (folk music), bc these artists have pretty easy songs to sing along and understand and usually they use standard-German. Lastly, here are some songs I consider easy to understand (even tho Germans hate it with a passion, me being included ): And the infamous And I wish you ofc the very best for learning our beautiful language . Here are the most important phrases (please, for your own well-doing, don't take them seriously ): "I'm hungry" --> "Currywurst her, aber schnell!" "I honestly don't know" --> "Lass mich mit dem Rotz in Ruhe. Ich habe eh keine Ahnung." "I wish you the very best" --> "Bitte stirb." "Wig snatched" --> "Perücke geschnappt" Ew, David!
