In Real Life (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Even with 79 years Udo Jürgens still plays with in the International League. He is now rightly in newspaper articles as the "last great entertainer". More and more people realize that just Udo is a professional musician and -Komponist with claim and just not pop singers.

Essential elements that Udo has now procured in the "masses" respect and recognition, are probably his unusual, sometimes bombastic compositions and his sometimes lyrical, sometimes humorous lyrics, but at least in most cases, significantly from the " masses "stand out, the themed variety now is almost limitless - there are hardly any life situations to which Udo not have created a song.

As for the compositions, Udo is consistent with its current "record" as lovable even in an official interview called his new work, his work in every way. Not least because he has spared no expense or effort and again great "real" musician has brought into the studio, very big, partly bombastic arranged songs have arisen again.

Under musical aspects I always love when Udo shows that he belongs to the "swingers club". In this drawer fits this time only the song "All for Love", the music to something "now or never" reminds me musically and in my opinion not quite comparable to my songs like "When a song so would like you" or "Schenk a dream "reaches as - yet there is a strong song, on its live implementation, I am pleased.

In the category of pathetic songs fall my two favorite Slider Album: "My goal," and especially "Ten to eleven." At the thought that this very personal song will probably serve in live version as the final song, makes me goosebumps. In the studio, my knowledge Udos grabbed friend and star violinist Julian Rachlin the violin - I'm covered, who will take over this function "live".

Lyrically I like the song "Where is the love when she goes" good, but the idea is not new - a song of the same name sang Alexandra Maria Lara in the film "Searching and finding love". Perhaps Udo's disposed towards this issue probably because there Moritz Bleibtreu plays a major role? (Sorry, little insider ;-)) .. - back to the topic: Also a bestseller called "Where is the love if it is through his stomach" had already a similar theme (!). Still, I love the poetry of Catherine Gerwens, which is also responsible for the lyrics of beautiful interludes on the CD and keep the song for one of the (textually seen) better on the CD.

Lyrically (!) What I like most of the "bird in a cage". Interestingly, Udo is (with) mentioned in this song as a lyricist, which indeed is not often and expresses how much he just identified with the subject of sitting in a cage bird that so much "free" would be.

Brings us to the issue that needs to subjectively for me cause a star deduction (and thus determined for many "Dislikes" - well, I can on no account take) - the lyrics of the new songs. In particular, the supposedly "satirical" Songs I think lyrically far below Udos level. Previously, "in the good old days", the narrow-minded Germany was the talk of the "wild marriage in honorable House" and the Pope, which prohibits the pill - which gave friction points that are now left out completely in favor of a possible broad-audience, where you certainly the Helene Fischer and Andrea Berg fans anpeilt.

Texts of this sort can be found on chumming Udos new CD unfortunately majority. Absolute low in my eyes is the song "The Transparent Man". That Udo of modern technology does not think much and especially when it comes to Internet and as concrete "Facebook" nothing lasts, is really nothing new. The issue is so important to him that now on each CD at least one song in this direction comes ("Fully networked," "You're seen through") and now "The Transparent Man"); where the subject as sideshow of songs like "Love staying Love" is taken up (the latter song, incidentally, the first text by Frank Ramond for Udo Jürgens Schade, whose songs of Cicero, Schöneberg, Louisan and Co. I love -. but Udo has In my opinion he wrote a rather weak text - "from Marx was botch"; "from Raider is Twix" .. - So that's very hit custody and not typical of Jürgens yet for Ramond - both can it actually classes better.

Even with the song "The vast greed" I quarrel - one has the impression that everything is to be bold and simple. The flat ranting on modern technology or the bankers etc. is perhaps also due to his age. That the two (subjectively for me) and worst anbiedernsten texts just come from Oliver Spiecker, who has the great song "word" is written, I find very disappointing. I wonder if Spiecker Udos has operated default or wrote on their own such populist-striking. However, "My goal," also one of the best texts of authors with this.

The bottom line is Udo also with 79 years an anomaly, a still to be taken seriously musician who still does not works as a "cat caressing pensioners". I think it's great that he is still part of the pop scene and certainly can have a say in the charts - unfortunately it is also likely to be calculus, allowing very little experiments, which as I said is the music perfectly okay, but lyrically but partly disappointing.

My personal wish would be if Udo would again seek other lyricists (Michael Kunze happens to have a lot of great songs for Udo written, but I miss names like Uli Heuel (only with a "half" very good song represented), Rainer Thielmann (this time not here) and .. well, Friedhelm Lehmann is unable to write, but whose texts have naturally set standards.

Despite all these "easy" criticism I am excited about what is Udo with nearly 80 years still to make able. Even if it is trite - "..where criticism from love comes .." - Udo, I hope we can still enjoy your great art for many years!
