Kerstin Ott on Helene Fischer: No friendship, just fleeting encounters!
Kerstin Ott recently discussed her relationship with Helene Fischer in the podcast “Assenheimers Promitalk”. She made it clear that her encounters with the pop icon are extremely rare. Ott explained that she had only seen Fischer a handful of times and that they were not close friends. This clarification contrasts with common perceptions that often make romanticized assumptions about close relationships between pop stars. The singer emphasized that this view does not correspond to reality and described it as a “romantic story”.
The joint appearance of the two artists on the “Helene Fischer Show” in 2018, where they sang the duet “Rainbow Colors,” is the only highlight of their collaboration. This duet was a resounding success and stayed in the charts for 36 weeks. Despite this shared success, Ott emphasizes that private meetings or regular contact do not take place. She dispels the cliché that pop stars maintain close friendships backstage.
Behind the scenes of the pop world
As Ott explains, the reality during big shows is often one of hectic activity. Each artist is busy with their own preparations and the dressing rooms are usually untouched by personal interaction. This leaves little room for the kind of relationships many fans desire.
Despite the distance from Fischer, Ott has some close friendships within the industry. The artists with whom she maintains personal exchanges include Maite Kelly, Ben Zucker and Giovanni Zarrella. She is not only in professional contact with these colleagues, but also communicates regularly via SMS and gets along well with them. Ott emphasizes that these relationships go far beyond professional connections.
Overall, Kerstin Ott's assessment of her relationship with Helene Fischer shows that personal relationships in the hit industry are often different than they are perceived from the outside. The reality behind the scenes is characterized by everyday professional life and individuality in the creative professions in which the artists work.
