The official magazine to Germany’s Pop Idol pendant with four issues and exclusive content starts on March 12th, 2007

Only nine candidates left: After Laura’s tearful farewell tension is growing for the remaining contestants of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”. How do Julia, Jonathan, Lauren & Co. cope with tension and strain, what happens at home, what do the candidates think and feel? Exclusive insights behind the scene and intimate information about all final contestants published for the first time on March 12th. That’s when the first official issue of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar – Das Magazin” is released. This first class source of information by Medienfabrik Gütersloh in cooperation with RTL Enterprises will see four releases. A special poster magazine with exclusive pictures is scheduled for end of March.

Besides backstage reports, home stories and news the DSDS magazine gives rare insights into the candidates’ villa.
