For musician Mike Singer and his dance partner, there were too few votes from the jury and the audience this week. Athlete Mathias Mester, on the other hand, was able to convince with the Discofox.
Pop musician Mike Singer left the RTL show “Let’s Dance”. The 22-year-old received too few votes from the jury and the audience in Cologne.
With dance partner Christina Luft (32), he performed a tango to “Tell It To My Heart” by Meduza and Hozier. “Christina really didn’t always have it easy with me, because I’m definitely not the easiest student,” said the musician. But he was grateful for the “indescribable time” of the past few weeks.
Singer and Luft had previously received mixed reviews and 22 jury points for their performance. “You understood the dance,” praised juror Motsi Mabuse (41), but criticized Singer’s sometimes unstable posture. In the subsequent Discofox marathon, the couple then missed the chance of many additional points. Singer and Luft were the first to be voted out of the race by the jury and thus only received one out of a possible ten extra points. In combination with the audience votes, that wasn’t enough to make it into the next round.
Track and field athlete Mathias Mester was named this year’s Discofox King. The 35-year-old danced ten additional points with his partner Renata Lusin (34). The decision was still tight for comedian Bastian Bielendorfer (37), who, together with Singer, was one of the shaky candidates. In the upcoming show there are still six couples in the running.
