“Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS)” is a German casting show that was first broadcast on November 9, 2002 by the television channel RTL. It is a spin-off of the British show Pop Idol, whose concept has been licensed worldwide since 2002. In Germany, the program is produced by UFA Show in Studio 30 / 31 at MMC Studios in Cologne.
In 2002
Dieter Bohlen
was commissioned by Gerhard Zeiler of RTL to develop the German version of Pop Idol. According to Bohlen, the name “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” came about after the music producer
Frank Farian
had secured the German naming rights to “Pop Idol” and only wanted to use them on the condition that he was allowed to be part of the DSDS jury.
The content of the program is to find a singer in a talent competition. Candidates are found through auditions and applications, the number of which is reduced in several rounds (recalls) by the judgment of the jury. The candidates who remain after the qualifying rounds appear in the following programs, the so-called “live shows”. After each performance, the jury evaluates the participants’ singing and appearance. From the mottoshows onwards, the viewers will decide via telephone voting, text messages and the Internet who will progress and who will be crowned the winner. A fee of 0.50 euros is charged per vote. Until the final, the participants with the fewest votes are eliminated. The result of the voting will be announced the same evening.
