Februar 2012Are you alsoinspired?hard training- no breakscompetitors- who willmanage it to bethe winner?Castingshows - the highlight of the centuryBy Vivienne PfannerCastingshows – Everybody know it, everybody love it. How can castingshows changethe life of peoples and how can it be destroyed? Why does every girl still watch thisprogramme on TV?Iwas a happy girl in my final year. The school leavingexamination had always been the biggest aimI wanted to reach in my life. But something changedin that year. Suddenly I was interested in castingshows. I was fascinated and blind how normal girlscould become such famous celebrities. I saw only thesuccess of the girls who had a smile in their faces becausethey had won. But what happened to all thegirls who didn’t manage to meet this challenge? Whathappened to the girls who were later presented as the„most embarrassed girls“ in all TV shows? These questionsare crossfaded by the success of one person. Atthat time I couldn’t contain myself and I dreamt of afuture in TV shows. I totally neglected my friends anddidn’t answer their mails despite their disbelief andfinally I registered with the castingshow “Popstars”.Detlef D! Soost was at this time my personally favouritebut now I can’t say why. To my great joy I survivedthe qualifying contest despite of so many candiatesand finally I was admitted in the “band house”. Mycompetitors were awesome and I had to give my bestat all times. Music Business is hard and there was noroom for breaks. We had to give our best to achieveour biggest dream. . The nights were short and thedays had 18-20 hours. I always thought that whenwe sang we wouldn’t have a lot of power of endurancebut I was baffled. We were exploited by Detleftill we couldn’t hide our tiredness any more. It was thehardest training camp in my life. . Today, I am not surprisedthat on TV only the results are transmitted andthe hard work in the cloudy appearance of the facadedisappears. The girls got more and more nervous asthe final approached and suddenly they were awarethat they were in the middle of a cruel competition.We were no longer friends but enemies. For the firsttime I noticed how nice it would actually to take myfriends in the arm and to have someone to talk to.The stress increased and I finally managed to reachthe tenth place. This Saturday, my tears flowed in torrents,and my many fans hacked off the next one ontheir fan list, because now I was out of the race. Ihad to pack my suitcase immediately and on the sameevening I had to line up for my homeward journey.My family took me in my arms and consoled me. Inoticed for the first time in my life, how beautiful it iswhen you have friends in hard times and a family wholoves you. Where are all my friends who believed inme during my success now? Nowhere, I was on a listwhere you can delete a person who failed. Before it Iwas a schoolgirl with friends and a future. Now I’m agirl without friends and a school leaving examination.I hurt them terribly when they wanted to help me andI hope that they can forgive me one day.The apparent success of the clouds and the happinessof friends and families is something weshould appreciate. Many people of the wholeworld are alone. The lucky ones, those who have everythingshould radiate contentment and happinessjust because they have no idea what this pain feelslike. Love, affection and a smile - of which we areshaped and not by casting shows that only pretendthe appearance of a perfect world.image: google.atFactsname: Leonie Moosbruggerage: 19location: Andelsbuch, Vorarlberghobbys: skiing, volleyball, meeting friends, dancesiblings: 3school: secondary school of business administration,Bezau18
