Bushido instead of Pietro Lombardi on “DSDS”?
Further speculation about jury change
Pietro Lombardi is supposed to be replaced on “DSDS”. He and jury boss Dieter Bohlen seem surprised by this. RTL is cautious.
Germany’s new superstar 2024 will be chosen on Saturday, November 9th, in a big live show from 8:15 p.m. on RTL (). According to “Bild”, it could possibly be Pietro Lombardi’s (32) last appearance. Apparently RTL wants to replace him with rapper Bushido (46) in the next “DSDS” season after he had a heated argument with his fiancée, including police action and a hospital stay. The rumors about the change in the jury have been causing a stir since Friday evening. How Lombardi, his mentor Dieter Bohlen (70) and RTL react…
RTL does not want to comment on “speculations”.
The exchange is not yet official. An RTL spokesman spoke cautiously to the news agency spot on news at the weekend: “We are not commenting on the speculation.”
The broadcaster probably doesn’t want to comment publicly on this until next week. According to the newspaper, Pietro Lombardi himself doesn’t know anything for sure: “I only think I’ll be out of DSDS when RTL calls me and tells me. So far this hasn’t been the case. I’m now concentrating on our live show next Saturday our great participants deserve a great finale.”
Pietro Lombardi: The show is “like family”
But the rumors “didn’t feel good to me” and caused a “lump in my throat.” “If that were the case, I would be very sad,” he is quoted as saying. Because: “DSDS is more than just a job for Dieter and me. It’s not about making money for me. DSDS is a matter of the heart for me. Dieter and I have been doing everything we can for years to ensure that the show is successful. It’s like family for us me.”
The singer has been closely associated with the show for many years. In 2011 he won the eighth season and started his career. He also met his first wife Sarah Engels (32), with whom he had son Alessio (9), through the show. Lombardi sat on the jury for the first time in 2019 and is currently a juror for the fourth time alongside Dieter Bohlen.
Dieter Bohlen emphasizes: “RTL determines the jurors”
The pop titan is considered a close confidant of the singer and is said to have long campaigned for Pietro Lombardi to be on board with “DSDS” in the 22nd season. He is also said not to have known about a change on Saturday: “Pietro called me last night and the truth is: RTL determines the jurors. I have not yet been informed who will be on the jury in the future.” Meanwhile, Bushido, the alleged new guy, has not yet publicly commented on the news.
