[Skybird]

One could rate him as one name of the top lineup in German pop music. Very successful indeed. In germany, almost never is his past in Das Boot mentioned, he did not split career in music and movies, but after the film focussed on music exclusively. Personally, his music is not my taste, also, in parts he mumbles his texts, in parts presses them with a painful push out form his stomach and into acoustic being - I really think it is a very strange way of singing that he is practicing. But some of the songs he writes, are good on paper - some, not all. I would have preferred he left it to songwriting. Singing is the thing he just can't. It'S more a yelling, balking, muttering. Strange you can become financially successful when doing singing like this. Never understood that.
