Joachim Llambi was a guest judge in the DSDS semifinals, but instead of harsh criticism, there were only constructive words for the candidates.

A fact that not only surprises the network, but also divides it.

A fan is even sure that Kerstin Ott was the trigger for it.

Cologne – The DSDS semifinals on Saturday (April 30, 2022) were all about love.

Appropriately, guest judge Joachim Llambi surprised with his criticism of the top 7 – there were none.

In "Let's Dance" Llambi is known for his brutal honesty, in DSDS he was like a different person, you could almost say tame.

Does the surprising change of heart have anything to do with the sharp criticism from pop singer Kerstin Ott (here all hit news on the topic page)?

Bullying allegations against "Let's Dance" juror Joachim Llambi: hit star Kerstin Ott demands expulsion

A few days before the DSDS semifinals, Kerstin Ott (private life and sudden singing career – this is how the painter became a hit star) made big headlines.

This time, however, not with their music, but with allegations of bullying against "Let's Dance" hardliner Joachim Llambi.

Compared to the podcast “Aber Bitte mit Schlager”, the pop singer even asked for his expulsion.

Kerstin Ott knows exactly what she is talking about.

In 2019 she danced herself on the "Let's Dance" dance floor and sometimes had to endure quite severe criticism from Joachim Llambi.

Criticism that often had nothing to do with her dance style, but hit her on a personal level.

Criticism that she has not forgotten to this day.

"Let's Dance" icon Joachim Llambi will be the new DSDS juror alongside Florian Silbereisen

Almost at the same time, RTL announced the guest judge in this year's semifinals: Joachim Llambi.

He immediately made it clear: "Llambi remains Llambi.

He won't bend over backwards to be nice."

At the same time, however, he also made it clear that he could only evaluate the singing in an amateur way.

So DSDS fans expected nasty sayings and someone who talks Tacheles – almost a second Dieter Bohlen – but surprisingly got exactly the opposite.

Joachim Llambi only had kind words and encouraging praise for the candidates in the semifinals.

A fact to which the network reacted very mixed.

A fan is even sure that he took the harsh words of Kerstin Ott (The most successful German pop singer of all time) to heart.

"Has Kerstin Ott's criticism heard": Joachim Llambi surprises DSDS fans with unusually tame ratings

A fan is sure: "I think Llambi heard Kerstin Ott's criticism and wants to show today that he can also be nice".

"Mr Llambi is much less critical of DSDS than of Let's Dance".

Another Twitter user writes: "Llambi sounds like a parody".

"Mr. Llambi is much less critical of DSDS than of Let's Dance," writes a third viewer.

However, there are also viewers who appreciate Joachim Llambi (The Way of the "Let's Dance" juror) as "the nice one" on DSDS.

Another fan says, for example: "Lambi should stay!

Really good reviews!”.

And this fan also has a similar opinion: "Great idea from my RTL to get Mr. Llambi on the jury today.

I like it very much".

Andy Borg again quota bringer: Schlager fun clearly ahead of Florian Silbereisen and DSDS semi-finals

With or without Joachim Llambi, Florian Silbereisen simply does not come up with a green odds branch.

The hit star is still stuck with DSDS in the ratings low.

Andy Borg, who presented the Schlager fun at the same time, can look forward to dream quotas.
