Lena Meyer-Landrut became a superstar within a few months, she had not suffered major setbacks until then. Now the pop singer turns to those who hope for a similarly steep career - but may have to adjust to frustrating experiences earlier.

In an interview, the 27-year-old now advised young people in the music business to take a relaxed stance: "If you manage to stay calm, not overvalue everything and not let the cosmos circle around you, then you can," she said "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung".

"You always fall on your nose, and then you get up again," said Meyer-Landrut. Especially important is the private environment. The musician won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010 as a 19-year-old and became known internationally.

Lena Meyer-Landrut: "And then you get up again"

In the interview, Meyer-Landrut and her Silvermoon singer Stefanie Kloß reported on their work as coaches on The Voice Kids. About the Sat.1 broadcast, Meyer-Landrut said: "It's not a meat grinder, no one gets mauled, no one shows, we pay attention to voice and talent, otherwise we would not sit here."

The singer had announced in January the separation from her boyfriend. For eight years she was romantically involved with her partner Max. It all happened in love, she wrote. Why Meyer-Landrut and her partner now go their separate ways, the singer did not reveal. Instead, she asked to protect her and in particular the privacy of her ex-boyfriend.

Only two months earlier Meyer-Landrut had said in a SPIEGEL interview that she had lost the focus on herself last year (the entire interview can be found here): "I had to reflect everything once and work up," said the singer - " that was the reason why I took a little break. "
