Who Dieter Bohlen wants for DSDS
When it comes to ambitions, Bohlen knows no limits. To the question after a potential favorite jury, he promptly names superstar Justin Bieber. For the pop singer, however, he would have to dig deep into his pockets, as Bohlen is aware:
So I mean a Justin Bieber, he’s laughing his head offI would have to give him 100 million euros

Dieter Bohlen also has a guess as to why so many celebrities turn him down. This is what he says in the interview:
So most artists just say I want to don’t judge other people. It’s not easy for them to do this. And then of course not a correct opinion anyway
This also includes Helene Fischer, who turned him down a few years ago for exactly this reason.

The celebrities would then be more likely to “think about their followers”. But Bohlen defends himself against the accusation that he sometimes makes comments that are too harsh and pointed:
You have to be honestI agree. You can’t leave people with no opportunities on the wrong path for years.
Bohlen adds that he is in his long life TV career on DSDS “never been wrong” and always made the right decision when evaluating the candidates.
