“Sing My Song”: Naidoo bites his lip when it comes to politics – THE WORLD

It has now become careful with what he says when he the show for the TV channel Vox “Sing My Song – the exchange concert” moderates. Xavier Naidoo bites his lip when it becomes political. He dodges when he speaks with the other musicians of his lyrics and asked him the prince, as for its relationship to freedom is. It’s a rhetorical limbo, and he will not come out here.

But after all the criticism of his person seems to have arrived even with him now, because leaves the seventh episode of the show no doubt. It’s all about the songs his band Söhne Mannheims: As the host to Naidoo heard how colleagues hits like “Get them out” interpret The Prince, for example, Hartmut Engler or Yvonne Catterfield

It is also a little something about, for example, why he always chooses so brutal metaphors of mercenaries and war, as noted smugly Sebastian Krumbiegel of the prince. But Naidoo holds back remarkably. Maybe they told him at Vox, Xavier, Look here, the odds are great, but the journalists are now looking towards double attention.

The are noisy become because of this confused speech that you have held on the Day of German Unity 2014 the Federal Chancellery, on the edge of a demo of Empire citizens. Who said the September 11 attacks were a propaganda lie of the Americans, and the Americans would occupy Germany still. Such sentences, we do not want to hear in an entertainment show. And they were as moderator slipped you during an ongoing broadcast on ARD or ZDF, every bet you were flying. Think it twice So what you’re saying. It’s not only about your credibility, it is also about our own.



It’s Naidoo to intense moments of great magic

But that there has been such collusion, denied a Vox spokeswoman on request of the” world “. She says: “The criticism of Xavier Naidoo and his utterances is known to us, and of course, we deal with it.” But guidelines do not give him one, and cut, no, not one would cut his statements also.

What just says, when it comes, to take a format in protection, otherwise actually one of the best of what’s happening on German television. A nostalgic throwback to the good old days, when even music was there, where music television it was, at Viva or MTV.

eight musicians, a villa in the South African Cape Town, and Xavier Naidoo as host. Alternately interpret the candidates the songs of their colleagues. To give the songs an own stamp, that’s the thrill in this show. This gives you moments that have become rare on television. There are moments of great intensity and magic.



Naidoo has the necessary empathy

It’s the second Season. Naidoo does its job as you would expect from a professional who has previously coached the youth already in the talent show “The Voice of Germany” (ProSiebenSat.1). A bit loudmouthed indeed, but also with the necessary dose of empathy. Naidoo had a penchant for hugging, says the Austrian pop singer Andreas Gabalier, who was in the first season there. From morning to night will hearted and cuffed.

His reputation as a Christian distraught Fundamentalist sold for three million hurried him, the gifted soul singer, there already ahead, plates , a trial of its discoverer Moses Pelham and a criminal complaint for a song text which called for violence against child abusers. And you wondered how the passe to his biography.

As a child, the son of two immigrants from South Africa had learned kickboxing to fight back when he was teased at school in Mannheim for his dark skin.

How much have hurt him the hostile, give an idea of ​​his lyrics. The music journalist Marcus Staiger once wrote, Naidoo’s complete works by draw “the homage of a certain ‘Highlander’-romance, a folkish heroism, in the incessantly stand one a shining light that sweeps the masses and leads into battle”. The singer Messiah.



Is there a third season?

Naidoo has a penchant for pathos and great pose. Both became his trademark. With his band, Söhne Mannheims, he created a court. Here he reigned, here played all 17 members by its rules. Billy Davis – – As a dictator he had sometimes behaving in this band, one of them has the transmitter Vox said. The quotation is from a documentary about the Söhne Mannheims, showing the stations following the seventh episode of “Sing My Song”.

It is the only critical O-Ton, which is probably slipped through somehow. Neatly Vox has otherwise erased all clues that cast a dark shadow on his hopefuls Naidoo. The criminal charges against a vulgar lyrics against child molesters for example, or even the fact that Mannheim’s Lord Mayor Peter Kurz (Alliance ’90 / The Greens) now publicly distanced from the man who had built his band times with the aim of the image of the former polish industrial city. Naidoo represent “anti-state positions, with which the city could identify in any way,” says Short.

In the Vox is different there. In the documentary about the children of Mannheim you can see how to thank the city fathers with Naidoo and his colleagues Michael Herberger in a ceremony for their commitment. The question remains how long the transmitter this balancing act even join in. Whether there will be a third season with the controversial singer, had not yet been decided, it is at Vox.
