Thank you so much for this reaction. This was her berlin concert day without the thunderstorm and rain. If you can find that rain day, you will be blown away. How she dealt with it. Getting soaked like the audience. It‘s a different beast, seriously
I learned German in honour of my German companion who died under most unfortunate circumstances. Now that I was able to communicate with her German family and friends, I came across a whole bunch of very lovely, sophisticated people. Unanimously they *_all_* recommended Helene Fischer to me! I think Taylor Swift is the American Helene Fischer! 😂
Great performance! Really enjoyed the song even though I do not know German! I could feel the very positive emotion. I tried the translation in Closed Caption but of course it didn't do the song justice. She is very impressive as well as the band behind her! Enjoyed your Reaction/Analysyis! Thanks for this Joe in Vegas.
great reaction👍,Helene Fischer is Germanys Top superstar. She plays the biggest female concerts in europe 💥💥💥. Her concerts are world class🤩🤩 Suggestion : Helene Fischer - Achterbahn Live die stadion tour. Greetings from Germany
You need to see her live performance in rain. I am no fan of her (more AC/DC, Slayer, Led Zep, LS...) but she was an absolute prof, weather forecast predicted a thunderstorm - and they had a heavy rain squall - i mean basically they but 30-70mm per sqm on the ground. She had to end earlier her concert - but did this as her last song - great show - even better as many of the great performances of the real big singers. And she controlled the crowd as good as Freddie in Wembley in 1985.
Kristina Bach wrote this song in 2 minutes in her kitchen! She is a Schlager singer herself, but has also written many songs for other artists. Kristina Bach first wanted to sing the song herself, but when Helene Fischer asked her if she had a new song for her, she gave Helene this song!
❤ I love your reaction. She filled that stadion two days in a row. At the second day she sang this song in the pooring rain. And it was a huge party. Yes, you can say the German Taylor Swift. But basically she's more of a mix of Taylor, Pink and Celine Dion. She has an incredible voice and was ranked No. 8 on Forbes' list of the best-selling female singers in the world in 2018. Before Celine Dion and Britney Spears. Her concerts are amazing. Not only because of her magnificent voice but also through show, dance and acrobatics. Her stage presence is huge. She trained with artists from Circe de soleil. Her biggest concert was in front of 130k people. She has sung many great duets with world stars. Such as Tom Jones, Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams, Bryan Adams, Josh Groban, Nick Carter, Placido Domingo, Michael Bolton, Luis Fonsi, Take That and many more.

You will hear the term 'SCHLAGER' very often! This was established between 1960 and 1970 as a term for German-language 'soft pop'! And yet that's not really true, because 'SCHLAGER' is a socio-historical term for German-language music that has always changed over the last 7 decades and 6 post-war generations and yet has remained the same! Simply put: 'SCHLAGER' is difficult to explain and VERY controversial in Germany [German-speaking EU]! 🙂 ---

Some comments, corrections and, in my opinion, corrections. Is she the German Taylor Swift? Yes and no. What they have in common is that both are the biggest artist of their country and both started in their country's conservative genre. Schlager in Germany and country in the USA. Musically they are quite different, but both genres aim pretty much at the same demographic in both countries and their reputations are very similar as far as I know. Most controversial genre, people that love it love it and people that don't think it's the worst music in existence. In the course of their careers both switched to pop, but in Germany for whatever reason >90% of the people somehow don't recognize this or don't want to believe that Helene has become a pop singer. Even the person that recommended or requested this video to you did that. I would say that Atemlos durch die Nacht is even indeed her first pop song which is the reason it was such a hit. Only today however I saw a comment of the partner of one of Helene's guitarists under a video where someone said that she likes Schlager and plans to go to Helene's concert in 2026 and she, the partner, said that Helene's last album is pure pop and not Schlager which is what I think as well, but most people don't and I think that's wrong. Schlager and pop are musically very similar which makes distinguishing much more difficult than country and pop and in the last decade with Helene's success it got much more mixed into so called Popschlager after Helene modernized the genre as her original plan was to become a pop singer in the first place which she finally did. If you want to know what Schlager really is like, you would have to watch Helene before 2017, except this song, better then before 2013 or other, real, Schlager singers like Andrea Berg or Maite Kelly. Beatrice Egli is doing very "poppy" Popschlager recently, but did very schlageresque Schlager before that as well. What fundamentally differs Helene from Taylor is what kind of pop singers they are. Taylor is the typical singer/songwriter whereas Helene up until her second to last album had very little influence on the songs. There she got a bit more involved, but still after that has only worked herself on one of her songs or two. Only with her last album it changed and she was working on 2/3 of the songs and even wrote at least one pretty much by her own. What makes Helene so great is that she is a much much more capable performer than Taylor. What you have seen here is nothing compared to what she is capable of. This was from 2015, in 2013 she started, with emphasis on started, her transition to pop. It's the year Atemlos was released. The big step came in 2017 and in 2021, when her last album released, it has nearly completed. What you said that you would know her if she was American is what I think as well. If she would be American and sing in English she would be in a league with Taylor and Beyonce because she is such a complete and whole package. She isn't absolutely overly exceptional in anything, but simply so good in so many things. She isn't as crazy good of a singer and dancer as Beyonce, but her mass compatibility is easily on Taylor's level and with the right producers she would have been so incredibly huge. What Helene can do what Beyonce can't or hasn't done is that, like Pink, Helene can do acrobatics and even had her first acrobatic performance on TV before Pink. Helene in 2008, Pink in 2009. Pink is pretty safely better in that than Helene as well, but still and Helene has sung in at least 9 different languages up until now, even if she releases music nearly exclusively in German. Italians for example have complimented her Italian pronounciation. In 2018 however she was the most successful singer in the world that doesn't sing in English and is one of the most successful female singers of this century in general, even if her market is super limited compared to all the others English singing singers. She also has her own annual TV show. And what the person said about this video, what a lot of people say under other reaction videos as well, that this had an attendance of 120.000 people is wrong. It's according to the source 60.000 - 70.000. The video you watched was from the 1st day, there is one of the 2nd day as well where she said 120.000, but those people don't get that she meant the attendance of both days combined. There isn't a stadium in Germany that could hold an event with that many people and if it can, not 120.000 for sure. Helene did a concert in front of 130.000 people in 2022, but that was at an exhibition ground in Munich, the same Adele had her concerts at last year.
Opinions on Schlager are deeply divided. If you love it, Helene is one of the genre's greatest icons. If you can't stand it, chances are you enjoy "Hurrikan" by Electric Callboy.

Ok, last com today! :-) It shows that Helene can sing EVERYTHING from Classic to Heavy Metal... Helene Fischer & Udo Jürgens - Merci Chérie (Die Helene Fischer Show 2014) th-cam.com/video/47-hea1oCXs/w-d-xo.html I don't know how deep you are in the history of the ESC [formerly 'Grandpix']? Udo Jürgens is Austrian and won the ESC in 1969 with this song. Afterwards he had a career in Germany and German-speaking Europe that can only be compared with Frank Sinatra. Nobody had ever dared to do a cover of this song because the lyrics and tone were too difficult. On October 18th, 2014, ZDF TV put on a show for his 80th birthday in which national and international singers covered his songs from 60 years [There is a whole musical with his hits] and Helene dared to do it and received praise from Udo and from all over the world. On December 12th, she invited Udo to record her Christmas show and performed the song again with him on the piano. Udo died suddenly and unexpectedly on December 21st and this was broadcast on December 25th. Since then, Helene has refused to sing the song live again...

German Schlager, half of Germany loves it (uge industry), my half hates it. It is a very simple type of music, many songs sound the same, always similar topics in the text. As a German you can tell, that this was written in a kitchen in no time. Sometimes I'm jealous of people, that can enjoy such simple stuff.

'Hand in Hand'
How often I wanted to stop and yet change everything
How often I told myself: "I feel better than yesterday"
My lips were silent, but the inner voice loud
I waited, but waited for what?
How often I wanted embers, but there was nothing but ash?
How often, I was grateful, for all the good things I had? My thoughts are hardly still, my inner voice so loud
I've been waiting, now I know, on what
Now I'm standing here and you see me too
I'm ready to follow you blindly without fear
I can feel it under my skin
This is a new beginning with YOU hand in hand
I know there is such a thing as destiny
So I am thankful, no longer miss you
I see myself in you, the thoughts are getting loud
And I stopped waiting, everything here I need now
Now we are standing here hand in hand
Our ways, we are going together now
You can feel me, we are soul mates
And it gets stronger every day, our bond
Hand in hand we will accompany each other
With every stone that lies before us,
oooh-oooh-oooh
Through you I believe in miracles and signs
Oh, you give so much of yourself
You only deserve love from me,
oooh-oooh-oooh
So we stand here hand in hand
Deeply connected, a whole Lifelong (whole lifelong)
We can feel each other, endure everything
We get stronger every day, hand in hand
We get stronger every day, hand in hand
I am stronger now because of you,
by your haaannnd

Please make a reaction to Achterbahn live
I have learnd lately the term "Average Joe" and "Wal Mart Americans". Thats Helenes audience..at least for those who can afford the costs for trip and tickets.
I can feel you Jeff. Stay strong😂
You will hear the term 'SCHLAGER' very often! This was established between 1960 and 1970 as a term for German-language 'soft pop'! And yet that's not really true, because 'SCHLAGER' is a socio-historical term for German-language music that has always changed over the last 7 decades and 6 post-war generations and yet has remained the same! Simply put: 'SCHLAGER' is difficult to explain and VERY controversial in Germany [German-speaking EU]! 🙂

Many ABBA songs with German lyrics would be 100% classified as Schlager! ABBA also sang a few titles in German.
"Achterbahn" [Rollercoaster]- My English lyrics! Hi, PLEASE don't cry because of the incorrect English grammar! I tried to convey the meaning of the German rhyme as best as my understanding of English allows!

Helene Fischer - Achterbahn (Live - Die Stadion-Tour 2018) • 28 Mio Clicks
Helene started with 'Schlager', like Kylie with soft pop!
But this one, from the 2018 stadium tour, is like Brit-Kylie with 'I can't get You out of my Head', a straight, hard pop song!

'Achterbahn' [Rollercoaster]
There is a rollercoaster in my head
I fall asleep alone, wake up alone
And in between I dream of you
Day in, day out, the same day
I wonder if you even really exist
But everyone says,
that you find the best things
If you are not looking for them
The answer to all questions
My main prize, yes, that's you
Suddenly you standing there and smiling at me
In my head there is a rollercoaster
Everything surround us becomes quiet, no people there
And the lights shine in a thousand colors
Tell me, do you feel that? Feelings out of plan
In my head there is a rollercoaster
Totally off the ground, no more gravity there
Only you and me and a sea of lights
And a sea of lights
Feelings out of plan
Like on a rollercoaster
Feelings out of plan
Like on a rollercoaster
This is my new self, it shines in new light
Like fireworks to New Year
Only you and me, nothing more I need
If you believe, then dreams come true
Yes, everyone says
that you find the best things
If you are not looking for them
After all these lonely years
Everything makes sense, and that's you
Suddenly you stand there and smile at me
In my head there is a roller coaster
Everything surrounds us becomes quiet, no people there
And the lights shine in a thousand colors
Tell me, do you feel that? Feelings out of plan
In my head there is a rollercoaster
Totally off the ground, no more gravity there
Only you and me and a sea of lights
And a sea of lights
Feelings out of plan
Like on a rollercoaster
Feelings out of plan
Like on a rollercoaster
There is a roller coaster in my head
(Uuuhh-ooohh, ooohh ooohh)
Feelings out of plan
It's a rollercoaster in my head
Tell me, do you feel that?
(Uuuhh-ooohh, ooohh ooohh)
Tell me, do you feel that?
(Uuuhh-ooohh, ooohh ooohh)
Say, can you feel that?
No more gravity
Only you and me and a sea of lights
And a sea of lights
In meinem Kopf ist eine Achchch...ter...baaaahn
[It is a rollercoaster in my head!]

Some comments, corrections and, in my opinion, corrections.
Is she the German Taylor Swift? Yes and no. What they have in common is that both are the biggest artist of their country and both started in their country's conservative genre. Schlager in Germany and country in the USA. Musically they are quite different, but both genres aim pretty much at the same demographic in both countries and their reputations are very similar as far as I know. Most controversial genre, people that love it love it and people that don't think it's the worst music in existence. In the course of their careers both switched to pop, but in Germany for whatever reason >90% of the people somehow don't recognize this or don't want to believe that Helene has become a pop singer. Even the person that recommended or requested this video to you did that. I would say that Atemlos durch die Nacht is even indeed her first pop song which is the reason it was such a hit. Only today however I saw a comment of the partner of one of Helene's guitarists under a video where someone said that she likes Schlager and plans to go to Helene's concert in 2026 and she, the partner, said that Helene's last album is pure pop and not Schlager which is what I think as well, but most people don't and I think that's wrong. Schlager and pop are musically very similar which makes distinguishing much more difficult than country and pop and in the last decade with Helene's success it got much more mixed into so called Popschlager after Helene modernized the genre as her original plan was to become a pop singer in the first place which she finally did. If you want to know what Schlager really is like, you would have to watch Helene before 2017, except this song, better then before 2013 or other, real, Schlager singers like Andrea Berg or Maite Kelly. Beatrice Egli is doing very "poppy" Popschlager recently, but did very schlageresque Schlager before that as well.
What fundamentally differs Helene from Taylor is what kind of pop singers they are. Taylor is the typical singer/songwriter whereas Helene up until her second to last album had very little influence on the songs. There she got a bit more involved, but still after that has only worked herself on one of her songs or two. Only with her last album it changed and she was working on 2/3 of the songs and even wrote at least one pretty much by her own. What makes Helene so great is that she is a much much more capable performer than Taylor. What you have seen here is nothing compared to what she is capable of. This was from 2015, in 2013 she started, with emphasis on started, her transition to pop. It's the year Atemlos was released. The big step came in 2017 and in 2021, when her last album released, it has nearly completed.
What you said that you would know her if she was American is what I think as well. If she would be American and sing in English she would be in a league with Taylor and Beyonce because she is such a complete and whole package. She isn't absolutely overly exceptional in anything, but simply so good in so many things. She isn't as crazy good of a singer and dancer as Beyonce, but her mass compatibility is easily on Taylor's level and with the right producers she would have been so incredibly huge. What Helene can do what Beyonce can't or hasn't done is that, like Pink, Helene can do acrobatics and even had her first acrobatic performance on TV before Pink. Helene in 2008, Pink in 2009. Pink is pretty safely better in that than Helene as well, but still and Helene has sung in at least 9 different languages up until now, even if she releases music nearly exclusively in German. Italians for example have complimented her Italian pronounciation. In 2018 however she was the most successful singer in the world that doesn't sing in English and is one of the most successful female singers of this century in general, even if her market is super limited compared to all the others English singing singers. She also has her own annual TV show.
And what the person said about this video, what a lot of people say under other reaction videos as well, that this had an attendance of 120.000 people is wrong. It's according to the source 60.000 - 70.000. The video you watched was from the 1st day, there is one of the 2nd day as well where she said 120.000, but those people don't get that she meant the attendance of both days combined. There isn't a stadium in Germany that could hold an event with that many people and if it can, not 120.000 for sure. Helene did a concert in front of 130.000 people in 2022, but that was at an exhibition ground in Munich, the same Adele had her concerts at last year.
Opinions on Schlager are deeply divided. If you love it, Helene is one of the genre's greatest icons. If you can't stand it, chances are you enjoy "Hurrikan" by Electric Callboy.

'Atemlos, durch die Nacht'
We roam the streets and clubs of this city
This is our night, for the two of us made!
Ohooo, ohooo
I close my eyes, erase every taboo
Kisses on the skin, like a love tattoo
Ohooo, ohooo
Whatever it is between us, images we never forget
And your look showed me, this is our time
Breathless through the night
Until a new day awakens
Breathless, must get out
Your eyes strip me down
Breathless through the night
Feel what love does with us now
Breathless, with full balance
Big movie for the two of us
Tonight we are eternal, a thousand happy feelings
Everything I am, I will share with you
We will be inseparable, somehow immortal
Come take my hand and go with me
Come let's climb the highest roof in this world
To just hold on what holds us together
Ohooo, ohooo
Are you addicted, skin to skin, completely intoxicated
Stumble into my arms and the parachute opens
Ohooo, ohooo
Everything I want is here, pure freedom, very near
No, we don't want to leave from here, were everything is perfect now
Breathless through the night
Feel what love does with us now
Breathless, with full balance
Great movie for the two of us
(wooh!)
Tonight we are eternal, a thousand happy feelings
Everything I am, I will share with you
We will be inseparable, somehow immortal
Come take my hand and go with me
Breathless
Oohhh, hooo
Lust pulsates on my skin
Breathless through the night
Feel what love does with us now
Breathless, with full balance
Great movie for the two of us
(wooh!)
Tonight we are eternal, a thousand happy feelings
Everything I am, I will share with you
We will be inseparable, somehow immortal
Come take my hand and go with me me
A.....temmm...looossssssss...
Thanks! I'm quite fluent in German so this song is easily understood, but putting it into English isn't easy.
OK, you asked who He_le_ne is, I'll overwhelm you with info :-)
Sorry, a few info coms about 'SCHLAGER', about Europe's greatest entertainer, her talent and my lyric translations for some songs!
Ok, last com today! :-) It shows that Helene can sing EVERYTHING from Classic to Heavy Metal...
Helene Fischer & Udo Jürgens - Merci Chérie (Die Helene Fischer Show 2014)
th-cam.com/video/47-hea1oCXs/w-d-xo.html
I don't know how deep you are in the history of the ESC [formerly 'Grandpix']? Udo Jürgens is Austrian and won the ESC in 1969 with this song. Afterwards he had a career in Germany and German-speaking Europe that can only be compared with Frank Sinatra. Nobody had ever dared to do a cover of this song because the lyrics and tone were too difficult. On October 18th, 2014, ZDF TV put on a show for his 80th birthday in which national and international singers covered his songs from 60 years [There is a whole musical with his hits] and Helene dared to do it and received praise from Udo and from all over the world. On December 12th, she invited Udo to record her Christmas show and performed the song again with him on the piano. Udo died suddenly and unexpectedly on December 21st and this was broadcast on December 25th. Since then, Helene has refused to sing the song live again...
G'day from Australia! If you reckon that was epic (and it was!) you should check out a couple of her other epic performances:
Achtebahn, where she really did turn the concert venue into a nightclub: th-cam.com/video/U1lTgyeSapE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xECOEZ_6GJKGz5Lo
Hand in Hand (with her real life husband, and no safety net!): th-cam.com/video/0bZfGUQnXzM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=x8qa84N9AHBfAYXe
German Schlager, half of Germany loves it (uge industry), my half hates it. It is a very simple type of music, many songs sound the same, always similar topics in the text. As a German you can tell, that this was written in a kitchen in no time. Sometimes I'm jealous of people, that can enjoy such simple stuff.
Helene is talented AF thought. I would absolutly love her in another gengre, I guess.
Корни свои забыла и будет забыта.
