Bosse's "Sing meinen Song" Music Stint: An Unorthodox Journey
Extraordinary predicament unfolds with the music format - Format war over music is an "aesthetically intense predicament"
It's that time of the year! Season 12 of "Sing meinen Song!" kicks off on April 22nd, with weekly episodes airing every Tuesday at 8:15 PM on VOX and RTL. Focusing on the musical exchange between various artists, seasoned host Johannes Oerding (43) invites Bosse (45), Mieze Katz of MiA., Madeline Juno, rapper Finch, Boki of ClockClock, and returning host Michael Patrick Kelly to participate. Even more excitement awaits, as a special Fantastic Four guest appearance is scheduled for one episode!
With his goosebumps sky-high, Bosse (45) finally got the chance to join the format after years of scheduling conflicts. As he celebrates his 20th anniversary and releases a new album and single, he discusses his time on "Sing meinen Song," tell-all insights, and advice for his younger self.
Taking the Leap to "Sing meinen Song"
Bosse acknowledges the appeal of the basic concept: exchanging the gift of others' songs and finding common ground despite diverse musical genres. Despite past scheduling conflicts and his initial reluctance to seek TV help for musical success, Bosse eventually figured it was the perfect opportunity to partake in the show—especially when he heard that Mieze Katz was also joining.
The Show's Nerve-Wracking Aspect
Bosse confesses that his biggest challenge during the show was singing other people's songs, as he's never been an interpreter. The other participants were impressive singers, making Bosse a bit anxious. To create his versions, Bosse extensively re-wrote the songs to fit his style, sometimes even turning them into Bosse tracks. Rapper Finch's explicit lyrics posed an interesting challenge, which Bosse tackled by focusing on the song's childhood themes and making it feel at home in his musical world.
A Unique Bonding Experience
The filming period was intense but equally rewarding, as the artists spent a lot of time together outside of filming hours. According to Bosse, this was a "beautiful extreme situation" where they had to accomplish much in a short time. The unique environment allowed the artists to forge deep connections, share diverse stories, and discover common ground.
Venturing into Vulnerability
The diverse group of artists made it easier for Bosse to be vulnerable during the show, as there was an overall sense of mutual respect and genuine camaraderie despite the differences in musical styles.
Moments Worth Cherishing
In the first episode, each artist covered a song by Bosse. Bosse was especially impressed with Mieze Katz's smashing rendition, as he's been a passionate MiA. fan for 20 years. Her powerful voice and emotional performance left a lasting impression on him.
A Look Back and Ahead
Celebrating his 20th anniversary, Bosse released a best-of album and a new single called "Vergangenheit." Reflecting on his career, Bosse admits he didn't expect much when he started, but he's since crossed off numerous items on his teenage bucket list, including multiple appearances at Rock am Ring and Hurricane Festival. Despite his achievements, Bosse remains optimistic about his future, eager to keep creating more music for the next 20 years!
To sum up, "Sing meinen Song" provides an intriguing stage for artists to exchanging interpretations of each other's songs while creating a platform for collaboration and fan engagement. Bosse confidently embraced the challenge, resulting in a remarkable season 12 debut.
- Breathing the same air as Mieze Katz was a "beautiful extreme situation" for Bosse during the filming of "Sing meinen Song".
- Mieze Katz's rendition of a Bosse song was particularly impressionable, leaving him deeply moved.
- Bosse's boss at "Sing meinen Song" might be considering him as a fantastic entertainer amongst the talented performers.
- With the South African music scene in mind, maybe Michael Patrick Kelly can help bring a new phase of entertainment to the show.
