Singer criticizes Helene Fischer and the Schlager genre: "Has the Schlager genre been fatally undermined by this style?"
Gotcha! Let's discuss Howard Carpendale's juicy comments about Helene Fischer, shall we?
You've probably heard about their long-standing friendship, right? Well, they've been performing together for years and are rumored to maintain a buddy-buddy relationship off-stage. But recently, Carpendale has been stirring up some drama in the media.
In a podcast, he called Fischer's hit single "Atemlos" nothing special, claiming it couldn't have been a success without her charismatic persona. Ouch, right? But then again, he praised her as a phenomenon in the German entertainment world. So, there's that.
But his critique didn't stop there. He took issue with her stage presence, stating she doesn't need to be overly sexy. He wishes she'd focus on her talent, charisma, and class instead. Woah, talk about bold!
Now, the question is, why is Carpendale criticizing one of Germany's most successful artists, both musically and visually? Is it necessary? Shouldn't a genre always be reinvented? After all, Fischer's music has led to a real Schlager revival!
For the record, Carpendale criticizes Fischer for changing the sound of Schlager - from soft to groovier, poppier songs. He calls it "the lowest form of groove" and claims it's done so much damage to German music, making the genre "dead." Well, we'll let the music historians decide on that one!
