The 16-year-old student Marie Wegener was chosen as the winner of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” by a huge margin

Marie Wegener is only 16 years old, but by no means should be underestimated. In the fourth casting show for “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” in 2018, she insists on singing the Whitney Houston song “I Have Nothing”. Dieter Bohlen doesn’t like that at all, but Marie remains adamant.

When Marie appears before the DSDS jury, at first glance she looks like a shy little girl. But appearances are deceptive, because the 16-year-old knows exactly what she wants. For example, she sing the song “I Have Nothing” by Whitney Houston.

Dieter Bohlen has had to listen to many unsuccessful Houston interpretations and thinks Marie’s song selection is not a good idea: “I know exactly how it will turn out.” But for Marie it is clear: “I am small, but I am still self-confident and I try.”
