Hard to believe, but true – while other casting shows have long since passed away, “DSDS” has been keeping the TV nation in suspense since 2004. Although the jury carousel has turned many times, one thing remains: unforgettable moments that make “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” a TV legend. We have summarized the five most spectacular highlights from the casting show for you.
1. The dream couple Sarah & Pietro
2011 was the year of love: Sarah Engels and Pietro Lombardi found each other and were on stage in the finale in their wedding outfits. RTL didn’t spoil anything and the viewers got a real couple highlight. The two actually got married later – a former “DSDS” fairy tale!

2. Dieter Bohlen’s emotional surprise
Normally ice-cold, the pop titan actually shed a tear in 2018. One candidate moved him so much with her version of “Love can hurt so much” that even Dieter Bohlen became sentimental. Bohlen later said that her version of the hit single reminded him of his youth. A rare sight that went down in DSDS history!

3. Wendler Gate: A scandal beyond compare
In 2021, Michael Wendler caused a stir as a jury member. His conspiracy theories led to his expulsion, and his comments on Corona measures caused a media tremor. RTL pulled the ripcord and completely pixelated it from the broadcast. A scandal that will not soon be forgotten!
4. Menderes: The King of Tenacity
Menderes Bağcı, the DSDS cult candidate, tried an incredible 14 times. His persistence made him a legend and even the king of the jungle. A prime example of never giving up!

5. Juliette Schoppmann’s big bang
In 2003, Juliette Schoppmann swept the stage with her performance of “Big Spender” and a split. Although she thought she would be eliminated, she made an unforgettable performance. A highlight that remains unique to this day!
RTL will show the grand finale of the 21st season on Saturday evening (November 9th) at 8:15 p.m.
