Enthusiastic fans, a spectacular show and emotional performances – Andrea Berg’s stage anniversary in Aspach, her adopted home in Baden-Württemberg, was a reflection of the past 30 years.
The singer has been delighting her followers for so long. Berg is a “hit icon” and the “queen of hits,” said the Italian singer and presenter Giovanni Zarrella, who, according to a spokesman, presented the anniversary show in front of 12,500 fans.
Three decades on stage
In fact, hardly any German artist has been as successful as Berg in the past three decades. Her best-known hit “You lied to me a thousand times” is a real catchy tune and is hardly missing at a hit party. According to the market research company GfK Entertainment, the 56-year-old holds several records: For example, no other German singer has had as many number one albums as Berg – a total of eleven in her career.
This record could be out of date in just a few days. Because Andrea Berg is preparing to storm the top of the German charts with her twelfth album. “I would do it again” is the title of her new album, which was released on Friday. It is an album that Berg was able to inspire many stars for – most of them were on stage with Berg on Friday evening in Aspach. “I invited a lot of people who are close to my heart,” said Berg.
Song mit Vanessa Mai
In the run-up, Berg had promised that the 30th stage anniversary would be “magical” – and she tried to keep this promise. Duets with Beatrice Egli, Maite Kelly, Nino de Angelo or DJ Ötzi as well as a Cologne song with the Cologne music group Höhner created a relaxed atmosphere in the arena. The celebrity guests paid tribute to Berg’s previous career. That moved the pop star to tears. “It’s just crazy!” Said Egli about Berg’s career. ZDF will broadcast the highlights of the evening on August 6 at 8:15 p.m. on television.
A premiere in Aspach was Berg’s appearance together with Vanessa Mai. They introduced their song “Unendlich”, which is also part of the new album. “I have to collect myself a bit right now,” said an almost speechless Mai after the premiere. Berg said she is proud of her younger colleague, with whom she connects more than just music. Because the 30-year-old Mai has been married to Andrea Berg’s stepson Andreas Ferber since 2017.
