The rumor mill is cooking: has Shirin David canceled DSDS?

Five years ago, Shirin David was on the jury for “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”. Now it was rumored that she could return to the final anniversary season of the RTL show. But nothing is said to come of it. That too is just speculation, of course.

Shirin David has already achieved fame and money as a YouTuber. But since the 27-year-old, whose real name is Barbara Schirin Davidavi?ius, has also joined the rappers, the ruble should really roll with her.

Maybe that’s the reason why she is said to have turned down a jury post in the 20th and final season of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” (DSDS), despite the alleged offer of millions. At least that’s what the “Bild” newspaper reports, which had previously advertised David as a hot candidate for a place next to chief juror Dieter Bohlen for several weeks.

As the newspaper claims to have learned, the influencer gave Bohlen and the broadcaster a basket after a long tug of war. According to the newspaper, this was also confirmed by David’s management.

But maybe it’s not because of the money that David, who was on the DSDS jury in 2017, is not interested in a comeback. “I wouldn’t do DSDS again,” she finally said looking back on the show in the past and added: “I don’t find television interesting anymore because the content is missing.” At the end of 2021, in the song “Bramfeld Stories”, she complained about her participation in the RTL format.

But maybe at least the other speculation that made the rounds on Wednesday is true. According to this, with singer Leony, there is already a juror for the upcoming DSDS season, which will start on RTL and RTL in early 2023. The 25-year-old, who was involved in a remake of the modern-talking hit “Brother Louie” two years ago, is said to have been one of the pop titans’ absolute favorite candidates. However, their participation is not yet official.

The return of Pietro Lombardi, on the other hand, is signed and sealed. RTL has confirmed that the 2011 DSDS winner, who was also a juror on the show in 2019 and 2020, will return to the cradle of his success. And we will also find out in good time who will actually join him and Bohlen on the show at the end.
