The world of influencers is an enigmatic place where you are tied up with fairy lights and cuddled with fabric softener.
Only logical that one should celebrate these activities with its own price. Pro Sieben showed the About You Awards, sponsored by an online fashion shop.
The eight most unpleasant moments.
1. Photographer and juror Paul Ripke wears health slippers and finds everything "lit": A nominee had a "suffered Instagramaccount", oberaffengeilt him already by his first moderation, that one swears while watching a lot of Teenerschmeiße-Fernscham, immediately all their own jeans to burn and never to wear sneakers again. Jury member Jerome Boateng is "the littest footballer", then it goes on cheerfully so on, and you are afraid for the rest of the show, that he spontaneously shows this dance from "Fortnite".

Lena Gercke, you know her as "winner of the first season of the casting show Germanys Next Top Model in 2006"
2. The rest of the jury is extremely strange. Models Lena Gercke and Doutzen Kroes wear the same red dress, Jerome Boateng reads his moderation as haltingly as if he were a kidnapping victim who telephonically passes on the demands of his caretaker while standing behind him with his gun drawn, and rapper Cro acts on his Laudatory just so semi-roadworthy: "Being a global player is dope, is dope."
3rd Greta Thunberg gets an award in the category "Empowerment", which could be very funny, if it were not so hypocritical : Just ran a Einspielerfilmchen, for which three candidates had uselessly flown to Los Angeles, and the day before the Awards were seen in countless Instagram stories in which the invited influencers from all over Germany traveled to the awards ceremony - of course by plane. But the organizers of the awards would have promised to replantively plant 2200 trees, reports Doutzen Kroes, so that should be fine, and she herself is also heavy on world improvement course: "I'm fighting the elephant ivory crisis". Elephants, so cute!
4. Mike Singer, 19, looking younger, sings a song about how he tows a drugged woman out of the club, but still rhymes quite neatly "another 'moet' on" my wallet ".
5. Jury member Enisa Amani gives a very long, extremely peculiar lecture on the fact that she feels discriminated as a stand-upper, if she is called a "comedian" (and that she wants "hookers" for her stage show). Yes, she is even announcing that she wants to emigrate to Nicaragua to continue to breed papayas there, if she should be described by the press as a "comedian" again, she wants to end her stage career, she would have the improper term "comedian" yet Once read about yourself, "I swear, I throw everything out", which is why you really should call no more "comedian", because at the latest after this speech, no one just want us to lose this comedian to the fruit production industry. (Just for safety: comedian.)

Heidi Klum, authentic model
6. Allegedly this award ceremony wants to "celebrate authenticity". But then a person in the audience can take a selfie with Heidi Klum, and it will be a lengthy procedure because a lot of photos have to be taken until a picture comes out that everyone likes, it's already a cross with this exhausting real and un-artificial. Incidentally, Heidi Klum was awarded the prize for her life's work, which was somehow different because "life's work" sounds like "very old". Klum then also had a message to all "haters": "Stop hating!" Instead, they should rise from the sofa and do something positive themselves, and how something could look like, she had demonstrated directly before the awards show even in their thoroughly super positive format "Germany's Next Top Model" ever.
7. The one-player films about the nominees are very popular: the operator of the Instagram account Tommyviews is studying medicine and has become a successful influencer "by the way". Tinytina has made it a successful newcomer by her naturalness. Yes, perhaps. Perhaps their large followers have a tiny bit to do with the fact that the former is with an already very successful influencer, and that the second is the cousin of Dagibee, in whose videos she appeared several times. However, the claim that Franziska Elea was nominated as a "newcomer" was particularly bold, which "many politicians" unfortunately failed to do: to inspire young people. For example, to simply put a pineapple on your head during yoga or kiss someone in front of the Eiffel Tower and bend one leg so cute.

Riccardo Simonetti, the bright spot
8. There are a lot of beeps-beep-speeches - we should all love each other, for example, Sandra Lambeck, winner in the category Style, because it just happened "so many unsightly things" in the world, which already pure color does not fit so well with the new Dior sandals. Her blatant recipe for world peace: "Everybody should turn at his own door and the world is clean." Cro called for "breaking all boundaries": "The whole world should love each other." Indeed, only Ricardo Simonetti, who won the title of "Idol of the Year" and spoke highly sympathetically and naturally about how he wanted to show people discriminated against as a "gay boy from the Bavarian countryside", really did have a convincing effect on this evening the company. He may not have the best Instagram statistics, he said: "Such a posting on Aidsaufklärung lent just not as good as an avocado toast".
