Criticism

It is criticized a "complete modesty " of the format which it shares the Superstar (DSDS ) with similar programs, such as Germany investigated. Furthermore, it is already negatively evaluated by the jury that partially young children to participate in the performances. In part, the diversity of the performances is perceived positively. Especially in the second season have been criticized, RTL promote the eventual winner shepherd, with the already recordings were completed. So Shepherd was allowed to play twice in a row as the last, which probably represents the most favorable position. Furthermore, apparently not only RTL, but also the Bild newspaper had in their reporting a stronger emphasis on the life history of the participants more than on talent in the real sense.

For Quotenmeter.de Christian Richter wrote: " [ ... ] The performances are artificially drawn in season 3 in the length [ ... ]. Every candidate now receives its own superfluous singleplayer and may underlaid it with dramatic piano music to tell his personal ( suffering ) history. In appearance after every little hesitation the jury with a brutal bang, seemingly endless silence and an artificial heartbeat is amplified. Cheaper and uninspired you can not produce tension and feelings. If a number is then sometime over, follow countless reps from all perspectives in crude black-and- white look. A tiny appearance can be extended to a quarter of an hour. Thus, in the two-hour editions shockingly little applicants have space. Completely unnecessary, almost 41,000 people have yet applied this year. Where are all just gone? What have personal misfortunes at all to do with the evaluation of a talent? Why must this be so publicly flogged? Without the loss of a loved human being [sic ] or an incurable disease, no candidate seems to be able to come to the show. This one is still in search of excellence and not at " Germany's most tragic stories ." "

It is also pointed out that it can lead to serious injury if performances like the swallowing of foreign bodies of onlooking children and adolescents be copied.

Several participants reported to have been specifically addressed in the fourth season to take part in the show and some will have it also get salaries.

On September 25, 2012 Moderator practiced Jürgen Domian in his telephone talk show Domian sharp criticism of the show, by describing them as "dirty program".

David Grzeschik of Quotenmeter.de praised the achievements of Host Daniel Hartwich during the first live show of the sixth season: "He [ Hartwich ] takes what RTL often dramatized to all measurements, not so serious, a time allows a small blow against Dieter Bohlen and his music very much criticized and loosens with casual sayings on the atmosphere. A Marco Schreyl he does not need the big stage is the new RTL - purpose weapon already grown. Ever makes the interaction between him and the jury fun. "
