Pure disappointment: Helene Fischer's show causes massive criticism!

On Christmas Day, the “Helene Fischer Show” was broadcast on ZDF, which was recorded a few weeks earlier in Düsseldorf. Numerous colleagues from the hit industry were guests on the show, including Florian Silbereisen, Giovanni Zarrella, Maite Kelly and Marianne Rosenberg. The appearance of Marianne Rosenberg, who presented some of her best-known hits together with Helene Fischer, was particularly controversial. After just a few minutes, audience members expressed their complaints about Rosenberg's singing, with the criticism primarily relating to the use of playback during her performance.

On social media, the singer's vocal performances were called "bad" and "terrible." Viewers drew comparisons to “ZDF- Fernsehengarten” presenter Andrea Kiewel and pointed out that ZDF used various technical tricks in the show, which questioned the quality of the live performance Mercury reported.

Helene Fischer herself also received critical feedback for her performance with Robbie Williams. Users criticized Fischer's singing style and its influence on her performance, such as TV feature film stated.
