Schlager icon's performance met with criticism
'Don't take it personally': Public expresses disappointment over Mouskouri's performance
Legendary Greek singer Nana Mouskouri's recent appearance on the German ZDF show "Willkommen bei Carmen Nebel" has sparked controversy among viewers. Many have expressed disappointment over her performance, criticizing her choice of songs and overall demeanor.
Mouskouri, 88, performed two of her classic hits, "Weißt du, wo du hingehst" and "Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein." However, some viewers felt that her voice was not as strong as it once was and that her performance lacked energy.
Others took issue with her choice of songs, arguing that they were not suitable for the occasion. "Weißt du, wo du hingehst" is a somber ballad about lost love, while "Guten Morgen, Sonnenschein" is a more upbeat tune. Viewers felt that the latter song was not appropriate for a show that was supposed to be a celebration of life.
Mouskouri's appearance has also been criticized for her perceived lack of enthusiasm. Some viewers felt that she seemed bored and disinterested in performing. This was in stark contrast to the high energy performances of other guests on the show, such as Helene Fischer and Andrea Berg.
In response to the criticism, Mouskouri has said that she is "disappointed" by the negative feedback. She has defended her choice of songs, saying that she wanted to sing songs that were meaningful to her. She has also said that she was not feeling well on the day of the show, which may have affected her performance.
Despite the criticism, Mouskouri remains a beloved figure in the German music scene. She has sold over 300 million records worldwide and has received numerous awards, including the Bundesverdienstkreuz (Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany).
Mouskouri's appearance on "Willkommen bei Carmen Nebel" is a reminder that even the most beloved artists can be subject to criticism. However, it is also a testament to her enduring popularity that she continues to perform and release new music at the age of 88.
