Should Germany represented at the Song Contest: Xavier Naidoo. Photo: AP / Archives
The ARD returned without Vorausscheid successful singer Xavier Naidoo for Euro Vision Song Contest, the criticism of his conspiracy theories political statements they persuaded small. Naidoo himself appears to have quite different motives.
This coup was initially backfired. Because of this year’s “Euro Vision Song Contest” for Germany ended with a tough disgrace and zero points, the ARD wanted to come up with a very large number. You could convince none other than Xavier Naidoo, 2016 to compete in the song contest: Germany’s most successful pop star who has sold the most number-one hits, five million plates, huge hits like “This way” or “I know nothing” – and also in the TV successfully
clear that Naidoo was nominated directly by its commitment without Vorausscheid to compete at the final in Stockholm -. as last Lena that directly after their victory in Oslo in 2010 the following year still was allowed to begin again while the spectators were allowed to vote only on her song. So it is still running even with Xavier Naidoo.

But what the program makers with plenty of pride, sparked the public no cheers. But indignation, at least on the Internet. Thousands Twitter users commented on the nomination already in the morning alone in Twitter, the most reluctant – as well as readers of the ESC Web site
. Political stimulus figure
At the latest since last year Naidoo is no longer just the Germans favorite cuddly singer, although he remained. Because of public appearances on questionable demonstrations and his obscure, more openly flaunted worldview, Mannheim became also a political stimulus figure.
The first irritation there was 2011 when Naidoo in ARD television on the question of how free he felt, remembered: “We are still an occupied country.” That is the core of the ideology of the right “Reich Citizenship”, which celebrated him as soon as possible for it. The scene is observed and maintained by the intelligence services, the German Reich continues to exist, occupied by foreign powers.
Personal
Xavier Kurt Naidoo was born in 1971 in Mannheim, is a German soul and R & amp; B singer. . He has the band Söhne Mannheims co-founded, is co-founder and former lecturer at the Mannheim Pop Academy
A rate of success was the TV show “Sing My Song – The Exchange Concert” on Vox, also juror when casting shows like “The Voice” and at the ESC preselection Naidoo was already.
A year later, the passionate Christian Naidoo grabbed suddenly not only declarations of love and revival messages in his lyrics. In a song with rapper Kool Savas he spread out violent fantasies against men who “Children and fetuses kill” love “no cunt” and. The youth wing of the Left Party accused him he mixed child abuse and homosexuality and filed charges of sedition, inconclusive. Naidoo said the song was directed against ritual murders of children, “on the one ever reported.” In the debate it also anti-Semitic texts were relied on, such as that of “Get out of the Reichstag”, in which he sang in 2009: “Baron Totschild sets the tone … the schmuck is a fox”
But it was only last year tipped Naidoo’s public image. Since he joined the Unification Day as a speaker at a right-wing populist rally in front of the Reichstag, which had “Reich Citizenship” organized. Naidoo presented again questioned that Germany has a valid Constitution, was fit to a T-shirt with the slogan “Freedom for Germany,” he vorzeigt also at his concerts on stage, asked that one must “re-creating order in this country “. “September 11, 2001 was the warning shot,” he cried. “Who has the accepted as truth what was told there was a veil before the eyes.”
Conspiracy September 11th
On criticism of his performance he reacted first with excuses, he later pleaded in a long, authorized interview in “star” to his statements: “. Germany is not a sovereign country, we are not free” by the NPD and Pegida he distances himself, but his performances at Empire citizens and vigils he not regret. The attacks on the World Trade Center, he is spreading the conspiracy theory of a “controlled demolition” from. In his TV show “Sing My Song” on Vox he showed anything but repentance: In one episode, he played smugly on his “other trips” to, a political clean slate let certify
The ARD does not hide the controversy. In an interview at the company’s own site, however ESC entertainment coordinator Thomas Schreiber rejected criticism back offensively. “Xavier Naidoo enters 2016 for Germany in ESC and could be another savior for German ESC statistic by Lena. After all, he is the German artist with the most number-one Hits.Naidoo is neither quite populist, nor homophobic or anti-Semitic, “he says and mentions that Naidoo was discriminated against as a child because of his skin color. Of the singers told in interviews. Naidoo sat down “for years for the German-Israeli friendship one, is committed to refugees, works with numerous people together who live in the most diverse lifestyles,” says Schreiber.

It is the confusing at Naidoo’s world view that all that is true – and he nevertheless repeated and defended all the other expressions. So far, anyway. Because maybe do not want to just Naidoo ARD doing you a favor. Perhaps he is now even sorry to be less and less associated with his music and also promises to give yourself a bit of peace and rehabilitation of the ESC performance. He’ll “so beautiful and so good to sing like never before in my life,” he explained on Thursday anyway. On stage, he wanted to show, “what I stand for – for love, freedom, tolerance and coexistence”
