Why Helene Fischer’s first concert in Zurich was scary: Ex-employees of the Zurich road traffic office were corruptible

And then the blonde beauty floats down from great heights. Angelic, heavenly. Artists fly and buzz around them. Just like six years ago, when Helene Fischer last performed in Zurich, she conceived the show together with the famous group of artists of “Cirque du Soleil”. “Zurich, are you ready?” asks the hit queen. And or: 45,000 tickets were sold for the five shows. “Zurich, this is our day,” she shouts. The Hallenstadion is hers, Helene-Manie in Zurich.

Helene Fischer, now 39, has made an important contribution to changing and improving the image of the German hit. Under Queen Helene’s reign, the once unloved sloppy child of the entertainment industry was able to lose its cheapness and become socially acceptable. Fischer refined the hit and established solidarity with international pop music. But what is Helene F.’s secret? What does she have that others don’t? What makes her a hit queen? What is their magic? How and why did she enchant the Hallenstadion?

A very good, but not an excellent singer

Helene Fischer is a very good, but not an excellent singer. A great voice lacks the richness of color, facets and possibilities of expression. But she sings flawlessly. Song after song, no wobble, no crooked notes. And that with a marathon program of three hours and a total of 28 songs. How does she do that?

The ultimate Helene hit:

Her dancing is also appealing, but limited. But the dance group adapts to the pop star’s capabilities in the show. Just like the music, the choreography is not very original. As an artist and singer, she explores no boundaries and takes no risks. Even more impressive is the precision and speed with which she completes and executes the program. Perfection is the goal. Helen the Flawless.

She amazes Zurich with her artistic achievements. She allows herself to be whirled through the air again and again. And everything effortlessly, with a smile on your face. Even the most hardened music journalist is breathtaking. And the daring singer is actually trying out the trapeze again, although she was injured during a concert in Hannover in June and had to cancel the show. “Unbelievable, crazy!” you hear again and again from the audience.

Circus artist in her own circus

It is the interplay of music, dance, light, fire and video recordings and artistry that fascinates, enchants and leaves the audience in disbelief. Gigantic, breathtaking and somehow surreal. Helene Fischer sets the standard in German-speaking countries with this show.

She is a circus artist in her own circus. But in this circus it doesn’t smell like sawdust, it smells like Las Vegas. It’s no exaggeration: Helene Fischer is on par with Céline Dion and Adele. In any case, you can place bets on how long it will take her to realize her Las Vegas dream, despite her German language handicap.

She leaves nothing to chance

Helene Fischer waves, jokes and chats, takes selfies with fans and hands out multipacks of compliments. And of course she ate “Züri Gschnetzeltes” today, and of course she loves fondue. At the beginning of the second set she sings on a small stage in the middle of the audience. She seeks closeness to the fans, appears approachable, cordial and cordial, but remains distant, unreachable and distant. The woman is very professional and leaves nothing to chance. A control freak. In any case, the dialogue with the fans seems rehearsed and artificial. No, after all, a queen does not operate on an equal footing with the common people. The nobility obliges, the nobility obliges. Helene, the perfect one. Helene, the divine? A bit scary. (aargauerzeitung.ch)
