REACTION TO GERMAN POP "SCHLAGER" MUSIC | Helene Fischer, Andrea Berg & Peter Maffay

[@Finndu]

I think if you listen to Helene Fischer you need to listen to Herzbeben or Atemlos. I think with Schlager it is that the most Germans say they hate it but when they go to a party 90% party to hard to Schlager. There is a clear line between Party-Schlager and Schlager. The songs are just really catchy, mostly simple text everyone can scream or sing the song along and it goes good with beer.

That is new Volksmusik , look at that ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmGsd3mmhdBlaNE

Yeah, you are right. Schlager is german popular music (pop music).

[@kuessebrama]

@@gabrieleghut1344 yeah that would be more accurate.

[@publicminx]

Schlager is actually a Central European thing (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Poland, Czech; Northern Italy, parts of Belgium (in a way the Holy Roman Empire) and so on - with of course also some impact on others - and vice vs.).

[@imrehundertwasser7094]

There are lots of people dissing Schlager music in Germany. But the truth is those singers are very very successful. The real venues for this type of music are not clubs however, but concerts and festivals like Oktoberfest. Maffay is not so much a Schlager singer anymore, if you want him singing Schlager, look for his early 70s stuff (like "Du"). For a contemporary male Schlager singler, look up Michael Wendler, a real classic (and very good IMO) Schlager singer was Udo Jürgens. Finally, Helene Fischer is a bit like Germany's Taylor Swift IMO: quite polarising. Her most successful song is probably "Atemlos durch die Nacht" from 2014 kzbin.info/www/bejne/npKodIdjiMqlfs0 - which is basically a pop number sung in German, written by another successful Schlager singer, Kristina Bach.

[@imrehundertwasser7094]

Here's one of Helene Fischer's early songs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5KuhXmJoN6Wfac - much more typical Schlager music than her later pop numbers.

[@MrTobiization]

Imre Hundertwasser I wouldn’t say that Schlager are super successful in Germany. You‘ll find them in the Top of German Charts and German Album Charts as the German Charts are measured by money turnaround. Those Schlager-Singers are making by far more money than a pop singer with young listeners using Spotify...

[@imrehundertwasser7094]

So topping the charts is not successful enough by your definition?

[@MrTobiization]

Imre Hundertwasser Not super successful! There are songs which are way more successful - but the do not generate that much money as their listeners don’t buy expensive boxes and albums. Thoses Boxes are the reason which makes you find a lot of rapers in the charts, too. Those boxes are just made to generate a turnover > top the charts!

Helene Fischer’s music is more modern that real Schlager of Andrea Berg, Howard Carpendale or Roland Kaiser. Not everyone likes that music, but it is a fact that Helene Fischer is beautiful and talented, she can sing everything, just search for Helene Fischer Show on KZbin. She is versatile: She sings ballads, rock, English, German, ... she studied Musical and knows how to present herself. She is even brilliant in acrobatics, just search for Helene Fischer acrobatics and you’ll see what I mean. She is amazing and everyone else who disagrees is jealous. She is a star. She fills dozens of football stadions here, search for Helene Fischer Stadion Tournee Highlights and if I remember it correctly she is on the 8th place of the most successful female singers worldwide with regard to earnings.

Schlager music is a style of European popular music that is generally a catchy instrumental accompaniment to vocal pieces of pop music with simple, happy-go-lucky, and often sentimental lyrics

[@wallykaspars9700]

Much German Schlager music is comparable to middle-of-the-road American pop music, like from Cher, Bryan Adams, Bette Midler, Backstreet Boys, Whitney Houston, and the Brits that Americans like: Elton John, Phil Collins. The only difference is the language.

[@brockreynolds870]

@@DianaVerry This newer Schlager music is very "Americanized", IMO... meaning they have lost much of what makes it sound uniquely German. Schalger of the 70's and 80's had a much more bouncy feel, with uses of dramatic insturmental flourishes many times. This is a great example of that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZWmlWWDoN54aqM

[@andreask.3048]

Many young people like Schlager mainly Helene Fischer but also other artists. Since 2010 Schlager became popular at all generations.

[@nilsbro410]

Helene Fischer's most popular Song is "Atemlos" and much better than these 3 ones. Moreover if ur looking for german Schlager try also Udo Jürgens ( but his success he gets from his really good lyrics, maybe difficult to understand) and Mia Julia ("Mallorca da bin ich daheim", "Meine Gang"). If ur searching for german music try "Augenbling" by Seeed, "Astronaut" by Sido and Andreas Bourani, "Traum" by Cro and definitly check out "Was du Liebe nennst" by Bausa. Also a big part of german music is rap, if ur interessted in try Kollegah, Sido, Peter Fox.

Helene Fischer is a HUGE star in Germany and one of the most successful singers in Europe, even though she's just famous in German speaking countries. She sells out stadiums just like Taylor Swift. Her fanbase gets younger and younger because she doesn't make that oldschool schlager like Andrea Berg. Check out Herzbeben. Her live shows can easily compete with international stars, don't get fooled because of some haters 😊

[@holydiver73]

Schlager music is brilliant. It’s so catchy and very happy music for the most part…..and I’m a heavy Metaller from England. If you watch the Eurovision Song Contest, it’s full of Schlager music. It’s definitely a European wide thing, but the German’s just do it best by an absolute mile.

[@ArminiusvanLand]

Schlager and Country Music there is Nothing more different

[@skyscraperfan]

Peter Maffay has achieved something that no other singer worldwide has achieved. His songs where in the Top 100 in a large music market for more than 1000 weeks. There are of course many artists who were in the TOP 100 in several different countrys, but not even Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson where so successful in a single music market.

[@MrHelenefan87]

[@helloweener2007]

If you listen a Peter Maffay song than you should listen to his most popular ones. "Es war Sommer" where he sings about his "first time" as a teenager with a women double as old as him. Another popular song is "Nessaja". It is from his musical Tabaluga that he did for kids. This is a very good and deep song. Peter Maffay was never a typical Schlager singer. If you want to listen to real cheesy and typical Schlager that were played on TV for the older people, listen to Nana Mouskouri (she is Greek but did many songs in German), Ronny (Wolfgang Roloff) and the German songs from Roger Whittaker. This was real cruel for me as a kid when the grandparents and grand aunties insistent on playing Ronny. Udo Lindenberg did a song about people who secretly listen to Schlager but don't admit it. It is called "Nana M.", the M stands for Mouskouri. I don't think that you can compare Schlager with country music. Actually, I like country music like from Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson. But I can't stand this Ronny and Whittaker stuff.

[@peterdoe2617]

I'm 58 now. Schlager has been and still is traumatic to me. Still I was curious about your opinion. Here is my point of view: I agree that country music should rather be compared to Volksmusik. But I'm not really familiar with the country vs western definition. So Schlager is still close, I believe. Maffay was Schlager and today is "something different", for sure. I agree with your comparison of Shania Twain to Andrea Berg. And I would add Helene Fischer into that same equotion. If both are "Schlager", then their influence took Schlager to another, more modern level. And I heard people say the same about Shania Twain. On the US side of things I think of Alison Krauss, modernizing country music. I don't know how many people in the US hate her. Dissing Helene Fischer, over here: I think it's only for her huge success. German's have issues with others, beeing successful. Typical "old school Schlager" is rather the below mentioned Wendler. I think many also define this kinda stuff as "Ballermann-Mukke". Nothing to do with guns. It refers to that beach on the spanish island Mallorca. Some are joking about Mallorca, beeing the 18th state of germany. I do listen to few german music. My last buy was Alina: "Die einzige". Great song. Fantastic voice. Some call her "the german Adele". That is a VERY high level! But worth listening to her when it comes to german popular music. Not very much in focus anymore: Anne Haigis. One of the best german female voices, ever. Try maybe "sexual healing" to find out about her voice, then go on to songs sung in german. And one of old in Rock from germany: Jule Neigel and her song: "Die Seele brennt". Simply beautiful! But I'm loosing my way. Schlager makes me shiver. One last funny note: there have been many singers from other countries who became extremely successful here, singing Schlager. If you wanna dig deeper into it, go look for Demis Roussos from greece, Mirelle Mathieu from france, Roger Whitthaker and also Eireen Sheer from the UK, just to name a few. Have fun to look up some of those!

I love the Schlager music, it's just happy uplifting party music, but I also love Scooter and Rammstein. American country music is totally different, I listen to Jim Reeves, Carl Belew all the way up to Toby Keith. I really don't think they are the same kind of music. Schlager music is really it's own category, bands like ABBA, Modern Talking, Bad Boys Blue are all have influenced by Schlager.

[@jeromeseibert]

I wouldn’t say not a lot of people like Helene Fischer, otherwise she wouldn’t have sold that many records. But she is controversial for sure. You either love her or hate her. She’s the pretzel sprouts of German music.

[@loydgravitt7733]

Whereas American pop has become totally focused on rhythm, Deutsche Schlager still is focused on melody and tonality (the Discofox variety does have a strong beat). So yeah, if you still line the idea of having a melody you can him, give Schlager a try. I love it! I recommend some Nicole Freytag, Mara Kayser, and the late Andreas Fulterer.

Ich bin nicht so festgelegt in meinem Musikgeschmack. Ich habe seit den siebziger Jahren Udo Jürgens gemocht und Reinhard Mey aber sonst kaum etwas aus der Richtung. Ich mag auch Rock und Metal. Gehe auch schon mal in ein Musical oder Oper. Manche Metal Lieder sind nicht weit von Oper entfernt nach meiner Meinung. Zur Zeit finde ich Dimash Kudaibergen ist der beste Sänger überhaupt. Er singt crossover Pop/Oper. Viele Lieder in verschiedenen Sprachen. Sein englisch hat sich seit letztem Jahr verbessert. Unglaubliche Bandweite f2 bis e6 gelegentlich einige Noten aus dem Pfeif Register bis D8. Von Bariton über Tenor und Sopran! bis countertenor. alles klingt voll und rund nicht gequetscht wie bei manchen Opernsängern in gewissen Regionen. Dazu eine erstaunliche Kontrolle, und sagenhafte Bühnenperformance. Eines der letzten, the love of tired swans (russisch), eine performance von Anfang letzten Jahres, SOS (französisch). Alles live. Auch ein Ausschnitt aus Diva dance von einem Konzert in Bastau (Diva dance, bastau) wäre interessant. Am Ende eines langen Konzerts die Alien Arie aus dem Film "Das 5. Element".

everything got a little mixed up here...schlager is not to be compared with country music or folk. And then again not everything german language is schlager... Peter Maffay is probably more pop/rock and Andrea Berg and Helene Fischer are modern schlager, check Atemlos by Helene Fischer, the biggest recent schlager tune. Then we do have schlager kult songs as part of our musical history from the 60's and 70's, which is very different from todays schlager music. Then we did have NDW, Neue Deutsche Welle in the early 80's breaking with traditional schlager and mix it up with more modern sounds. Over the last 20 years it became much more common to do german language pop rock hiphop etc... schlager still keeps a profil on it's own with only a few songs crossing over. Schlager, at least from my point of view, these days is a little bit stuck with more or less a very similiar rhythms tempo and beat. That used to be very different in the 60's and 70's and with NDW. But there you go. German country music or better Volksmusik again is a very different genre that features local regional traditional music, sometimes or often in dialect with traditional instruments and costumes. Most famous from Bavaria and Austria. This indeed is something usually only elder people get into. Schlager is not necessarily generation binded.

[@christopherb.2986]

schlager lyrics are always primitive and predictable like "i met you at the bar and fell in love with your blue eyes and then you melted my heart" yadda yadda, nationalistic undertones are common too, like how pretty the landscape is in bavaria etc. :D peter maffay is not schlager at all; and unfortunately a lot of people like helene fischer & andrea berg, mostly lower class/lower middle class people id say.

[@imrehundertwasser7094]

Calling a landscape pretty is a "nationalistic undertone" to you? Oh well ... Peter Maffay _did_ start by singing Schlager, though that was in the early 1970s.

[@topspin4456]

Sorry, but this is pure nonsense.

[@mr.pac-man386]

Sry that Not german....that for grannys

[@gerhardclement863]

Love from Germany 💖🌻🥂

Don´t say Schläger-Musik. (at 0:11 min)

[@imrehundertwasser7094]

Music to beat up people to :-)

[@bema1908]

No, I didn't unsubscribe because of this video. I subscribed! :-)

[@DianaVerry]

haha thank you!! :)

[@pgmreallaw]

Careful! The white nationalist movement also loves Schlager because it’s deemed the antithesis of American rap, which they detest!

[@vivia9975]

You must React to Lena Meyer Landrud!

[@gruennagel]

Jemand Nices j6ll

[@RichardCranium.]

Make a video reacting to Heino's music.

[@vbvideo1669]

Nice Video! :)

[@kuhpunkt]

Better listen to something like Toni Kater or old Olli Schulz songs ;)

[@DianaVerry]

Ah cool, I’ll check it out 😊

[@kuhpunkt]

"Jetzt gerade bist du gut" by Olli Schulz - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6vZf4ppncSAl6s "Dann schlägt dein Herz" by Olli Schulz - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpW4q2SQrLqtrLM "Verwirrt" by Toni Kater - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWjPl519h6qaa7c "Raubtier" by Toni Kater - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fomyqHhubNp7ras "Kalte Augen" by Toni Kater - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJLVZ2qwfql2q7s Lovely songs

[@mdjey2]

That is definitely not Schlager! Schlager is this thing kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnnboqGInJdshrs Basically first few minutes of"Krautrock - The Rebirth of Germany" would give you perfect understanding.

[@rd412]

So what kind of songs are those, the sons that sing Andrea, Peter?

[@friederikenehring8071]

It's no shame to like Schlager

[@bloederhennes1302]

Schlager is not that bad at all listen too Bosse ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnawiJhtpq10eas And not all eng. Musik ist top of the pop. So blaming on Schlager ist .... not needed. Most Schlager ist been produced in the same way "Foxtrott" rhythm and nearly the same "Text". Thats why most people do not really like it. BUT even if it is bee running they can sing it by them self ;)

[@svennnieh8810]

Alter regt die mich auf wie die die ganze zeit redet haha

[@chaofan2675]

The best song from Helene Fischer is mitten im paradise

[@DianaVerry]

Thanks for letting me know 😊😊

You need to hear Kontra k please

Schlager ist für Opas

[@argovar1923]

Cute she say . Schleiger music ^^

[@imrehundertwasser7094]

The singer "Heino" might be what you're looking for in German folksy music. But be warned: He may be even more unpopular than Schlager among certain crowds :-)

[@peterlyon8424]

Is Heino controversial?

[@imrehundertwasser7094]

@Peter Lyon Many people don't like his type of music.

[@loydgravitt7733]

@@imrehundertwasser7094 Like him or not Heino is a survivor. Did you know he actually was performing in public before Elvis. He is still going well into his 80s. And he has sold in excess of 50 million records. Most singers would give their right arms for juste fraction of that kind of "controversy"

[@ninastl]

OMG i love Andrea Berg😍

[@DianaVerry]

Haha me too 😘😂

[@loydgravitt7733]

@@DianaVerry Andrea's most popular song is probably "Du Hast Mich Tausendmal Belogen". "Ich Liebe Das Leben" is another classic. Both of these songs are worth checking out. Her latest single Mosaik is prerty awesome as well

[@ilkaoberhaus6880]

Haha Schlager beste😂
