This week it was for everyone Fans from Helene Fischer really exciting: On October 15th she first released her new album “Rausch”, on Saturday evening at 9.45 pm the ZDF followed up with the music film “Im Rausch der Senses”. In the one-hour production, the singer performs several pieces from the record, on top of which there is some background information and even private insights.
However, the current hype about Helene Fischer was not reflected in the ratings as desired for the public broadcaster. According to “dwdl.de“switched only 2.81 million people a. There would certainly have been more.
Helene Fischer Film gets moderate ratings
“In the intoxication of the senses” achieved a total market share of 10.6 percent, although the younger target audience in particular could not really be relied on: In the 14 to 49 year olds, the documentation did not exceed 5.7 percent.
These numbers are also worrying because the “Erzgebirgskrimi” ran very successfully immediately before. This attracted 6.83 million viewers in front of the screens, before many of Helene switched off again or changed channels. “In the intoxication of the senses” is now also available in the ZDF media library for everyone who missed the film.
Helene documentary “In the intoxication of the senses”: Fans also express criticism
at Twitter some fans posted theirs on Saturday evening opinion to the film, although the mood was divided. Some were touched by the songs, others, on the other hand, did not necessarily see any added value in the documentary, considering that the songs are already included with the album:
For several users at the same time, “In the intoxication of the senses” generally had an unpleasant promotional character. The playback performances of the superstar are also criticized:
As an artist, I appreciate it #Helene Fischer absolutely. What here in the # ÖRR is shown, however, is very, very questionable. Pure commerce, a pure playback show without any originality, without justification.
That’s not how it works, dear @ZDF. 😕– Richard Ervins (@RichardErvins) October 16, 2021
Incidentally, the performance of “In Rush of the Senses” is also interesting with regard to an upcoming project by the artist: In November, Sat.1 will be showing another music format with “Helene Fischer – An Evening in Rush”, which is all about Singer stands. It now remains to be seen whether the private broadcaster can outperform the competition or whether the ratings are again poor.
