The DSDS recalls are in full swing, but one scene spoils the good mood: After Dieter Bohlen had once again dealt properly, there was no stopping Lawa a little later – she just fell motionless to the ground.
Bangkok – For four DSDS candidates, the dream of becoming Germany's next superstar came to an end on Saturday evening (March 4th).
The pressure was correspondingly great: the sweaty recalls in Bangkok pushed the young musicians to their limits, the criticism from the head of the jury, Dieter Bohlen (69), did the rest.
Dieter Bohlen hands out tough – 007 comparison hits ailing DSDS candidate hard
"Deutschland sucht den Superstar" is heading unerringly for the live shows (starting on April 1), but before the possibly last winner of the casting show can even be chosen, Dieter Bohlen and Co. still have to sift through a lot.
"The people who don't deliver today have to go home," the pop titan threatened his protégés, who, despite the luxury hotel and the sunny weather, hadn't come to Bangkok for vacation.

Finally, on the roof of a skyscraper, there was a singing competition.
Even before her appearance, DSDS candidate Lawa (25) noticed that something was wrong: "I don't know how you are doing.
But I've had a cycle for hours," said the Giessen native to her fellow campaigners Natalie (29) and Dilara (17) - but it didn't help: The trio delivered more poorly than right, Lawa in particular was then washed by Dieter Bohlen.
"It was 007-like: no feeling, no voice, seven crooked tones," the modern-talking star railed against the 25-year-old.
She was completely upset after her performance, burst into tears backstage and had to be comforted by her girls.
"We're in the heat, and then you get feedback like this," said Dilara, who understood her competitor's situation.
After harsh criticism from Dieter Bohlen – DSDS candidate faints a little later
But the worst was not over yet: After Dieter Bohlen's verbal smack, the three DSDS candidates were given a warm welcome by their other competitors, but Lawa seemed to have the last reserve of strength: while the others applauded, the 25-year-old
left suddenly passed out and lay there motionless.
However, she was immediately looked after by the RTL team and the other participants in an exemplary manner.
A little later she felt visibly better.
Candidate Lorent (19) then revealed that Lawa drank too little despite the heat and that's probably why he collapsed.
Despite Dieter Bohlen's harsh words, the 25-year-old was happy at the end of the episode: she barely made it into the next recall.
Zeno (22), Andrea (26), Adriano (22) and Nikolaos (23) had to leave the show.
But the show also causes a stir behind the scenes: RTL Dieter Bohlen could apparently have fired because of a sexism clause in his DSDS contract.
