Cool Calculation - zero authenticity

If someone "Mainstreaming" comes along, only to just to be mainstream and so no hurt, that's one thing.
But if anyone - and that we are dealing with Lena Meyer Landrut - specifically trying just to lie in several ways in addition to the mainstream, but yes at the same time still mass appeal to stay, is quite another.

The analysis in detail:

Dance style and gestures
A kind of highly reduced Pogo light, trimmed to ground compatibility. One can from Pogo keep what you want, anyway, he is exuberance, not for Ausgebremst awareness. With the handbrake on, because one eye always squinting at the audience, the performance seems to me put, strangely inhibited and uptight, but will probably have a slightly funky and convey joy of life. Then maybe any singing salt pillars such as Morten Harket (A-Ha) or David Gilmour (Pink Floyd).

Outfit
This time less Punk, Goth and more for Wave, but unfortunately here again only the title of "light". Yes, the clothes are mostly predominantly black and yes, the obligatory black tights not missing. And the lipstick effect in pale face beautiful gaudy, but just red instead of black. The mass appeal is not yet in danger, namely provide for the honest Braves Girl hairstyle and the lack of any piercings and tattoos. Calculation.

Voice and Accent
Technically, the singing more than below average. This fact alone would be but still not a very big problem. Much worse, I find the unspeakably silly because patch working-class accent, the Meyer-Landrut ausreizt on "Satellite" to the extreme. Which brings us to the punk would be back because of this strong accent was and is an essential feature of many British punk bands. For a non-native but totally out of place and with a socially critical protest song we have, after all, also not dealing. Embarrassing, especially in view of Oslo, when the British native will be compelled to Fremdschämen.

Song "satellite"
The same applies here as with the previous points. One would be a little weird and different, then dares but regarding mass appeal not really know, and ultimately ends up then again in slightly britpoppigen mainstream. Although I must say in fairness to have heard Übleres. That's why even 2 stars in the rating.

Conclusion:
So can non-conformists look mainstream and sound. Smart thinking, no question. The masses always firmly in mind surreptitiously you look way more sympathy from listeners with a certain affinity for punk, wave or Gothszene. Our success proves Meyer-Landrut and the actually active in the background figures in commercial terms, indeed unquestionably right. Only: the much-vaunted individuality or even authenticity Meyer-Landrut I can not see the best of intentions. Blendwerk its finest. Because, let's be honest: how many of us the song would it actually remained great memories, he would someday incidentally went on the radio and not been hyped by this monstrous media trappings sensation?
