Helene Fischer fans have probably been waiting for this evening for weeks. Because on Saturday evening (November 2), the pop legend will compete against his biggest fans on the ARD show “Small vs. Big”.
The pop singer is known for her amazing vocal performances, amazing choreography and amazing athleticism. She celebrated her breakthrough with the hit song “Atemlos“. But in a straight “small versus big” duel, the superstar no longer cuts a good figure.
Helene Fischer must admit defeat
On Saturday evening, Kai Pflaume will host the game show “Small versus Big” and announce the big duel between Helene Fischer and little Johanna at around 9:30 pm The 10-year-old is a big fan of the pop icon and he has already attended one of the singer’s stadium concerts. Now the girl wants to demonstrate her skills live in the studio and is eager to enter the ring against the musician.
But before he starts, Johanna gives her idol a pink bracelet that is supposed to serve as a good luck charm. The task of the duel is extremely easy: three children who play the violin play a song by Helene Fischer at the same time. The singer and little Johanna have to guess the three songs being sung at the same time within a very short time. The pop star’s horror at this task is almost written on her face.
When the game starts, it quickly becomes clear that Johanna seems to be the biggest Helene Fischer fan in this country. The 10-year-old confidently identifies every song the singer plays, and in a total of four rounds she gets it right every time. The pop star herself, however, struggles with the challenging task. The musician admits without envy: “How you can figure it out from this confusion is a mystery to me.”
The superstar also reveals himself: “These are the older songs, I don’t know them anymore, I have to be honest.” Given the number of songs Fischer has released over the past twenty years, that’s no surprise. Sometimes the 40-year-old hides behind his desk in shame.
Johanna was able to prevail against the pop star with a score of 12 to 7. Helene Fischer reflects on the match with the words: “It was very, very difficult for me.” However, the singer seems to be totally begging her little fans to win her over and invites Johanna and her family to one of her next concerts.
