Too much fog around Xavier Naidoo
Alone against all – for the sense of mission is not enough for that. Not with the singer Xavier Naidoo and not in the entertainment coordinator of the ARD, Thomas Schreiber. Last Thursday it was announced that Xavier Naidoo starting in May of next year for Germany at the Euro Vision Song Contest in Stockholm. Forty-eight hours later, it was said: Naidoo is stationary. They had underestimated how much he polarises. The Song Contest is a fun event where “music and international understanding should be the focus,” said the ARD man Schreiber. This objective may be detrimental to the ongoing discussions. Therefore, the retreat. The Xavier Naidoo took a shrug note and said: agree

Something else remained the parties do not remain, otherwise the reputation Naidoo would have suffered even more and it would be in the ARD – the such critique is difficult to endure and their flags hanging like after the mainstream – have come to considerable frictions. Too violent was the reaction of the local ESC community that the Internet within hours it agreed that Naidoo was an unworthy candidate: supposedly racist, homophobic, antisemitic, right-wing. Who will be covered in the public discourse with such attributions, starts at below zero – like they are true or not

A seeker
The fact that they apply to Xavier Naidoo Not at all, say not only his concert-goers, but also a number of fellow musicians. You will experience a singer with soul in his voice, whose mission is alone, of Christian charity and love to sing to God. What Naidoo does not arrive at all. For stir he has caused but especially with conspiracy theories submissions. About a year ago, he appeared at an event of the “Reich Citizenship” that cling to a Germany in the borders of 1937 and keep the federal government as illegitimate; Germany was still occupied by the Allies, Naidoo said once in ARD “Morning Magazine”; On another occasion, He revealed doubts about the course of events of the September 11 attacks 2,001th And then there is of him a very explicit lyrics that Naidoo was interpreted as homophobic, but probably told the truth from the treatment which should be a child molester to part.
What Naidoo had processed a painful experience from his own childhood, as he sings about racism, which he was exposed as a child of a family with roots in South Africa and India itself. His message was “freedom, tolerance and love,” Naidoo said now, the developed as a singer on stage large presence, privately but is more of a seeker. He often makes a rhyme on the world Läufte, one can hardly understand, and comes in such weird ideas about how on his own in the Ukraine to go to find out what is really going on there.
The method Raab
For the ARD and the entertainment coordinator writer but it was about something else entirely. He wanted a good artist. Germany has failed miserably in the final laps of the Euro Vision Song Contest. The singer Ann Sophie ended this year with zero points in last place in 2014, the Women’s Trio Elaiza had just achieved with a messed-up stage show to eighteenth place. Have liked the local community on the ESC preselection pleased at the international final saw Germany – however one assesses the scoring – amateurish from

With Xavier Naidoo, it is assumed that Germany would not end at “zero points”. But will the close-knit German Fanclub it does not just let take to select the candidates, no matter by what chances he or she then takes up the finale. This resistance has underestimated the direct nomination Naidoo ARD. The singer had most recently shown at the commercial broadcaster Vox in the show series “Sing My Song” that he can successfully organize from the pop business a moody child’s birthday for adults with colleagues, a how to celebrate it the local ESCler well – they want However even determine who they amused.

This need to use and to give the whole thing yet seemingly casual one direction, which is the last entertainer Stefan Raab succeeded. He brought the singer Lena Meyer-Landrut forward, the ESC then known in 2010 also won yet. In a procedure à la Raab ARD would now come probably to steer the debate on the German contribution to the Euro Vision Song Contest back in differently-peaceful channels.
