Probably all those people who have voted for 'awful' for this movie have never seen it because it was a film made for fans and only about 30.000 people in Germany have seen it. Just to inform those who have never heard about Daniel Küblböck I would like to give some information and background. Daniel took part in the German Idol where he finished 3rd. He certainly was not a very good singer at that time but a brilliant performer and thousands of Germans voted for him and he was shown in TV almost every day. Then there was a voting for the most important German and Daniel was on Place 16 - the German people voted for him NOT HE HIMSELF. Since then he was dissed wherever possible, in TV and in the German press. Non of the other prominent people could believe that such a young boy was in front of them and started to talk bad about him wherever possible. A lot of men cannot stand him because he is everything else than a macho type and THAT is not acceptable in Germany. He likes to laugh and wants to make people smile and his motivation is 'Positive Energy'. He never attacked or said bad things about anybody. Press and TV have made a good job during the last year and take him now as example for bad politics, bad football, bad everything. Daniel's movie was produced by Uli Lommel who was fascinated by this youngster when he saw him on stage when he gave a concert for about 2000 to 3000 fans in Munich. The movie shows now exactly a part of his life. A lot of his fans adore him but also a lot of Germans just hate him. The movie wants to make clear that there is no sense in hating but try to understand other people. As you can see from most of the comments here hardly anybody understood the sense of the movie (have never seen it). It is fact that there are lots of German people who put their whole energy and bad feelings just on a (now) 19 year old boy. If you talk to 'normal' people about this, they just shake their heads and cannot understand it. But these 'sick' people meet on internet sites like 'Let's kill Küblböck' and others and now you can also recognize why this movie got this bad votes. Last but not least just a little information on Daniel. He has improved his voice a lot and gave in December two unplugged concerts in Munich (sold out) where he performed in a super atmosphere and everybody attending this concert was delighted about his 'new voice'.
