After Silbereisen Mishap: Melissa Naschenweng Sets Clear Boundary
A spectacular show moment became a nerve-wracking ordeal for Melissa Naschenweng – with consequences for her future on stage.
During the TV show "Schlagerchampions – The Big Festival of the Best" on January 11, 2025, an unexpected incident occurred: During her performance on a hanging swing, the sound in the live hall completely failed. Melissa Naschenweng was singing a cappella when suddenly the microphone failed. TV viewers noticed nothing, as the mishap was only audible on site – but for the singer, the situation was a challenge.
The Carinthian had to remain in a suspended position for minutes while the technology was restored. Host Florian Silbereisen reacted quickly and encouraged the audience to sing along until the show could continue. Despite professional handling, the incident left its mark on the artist.
Consequences after the Incident
Melissa Naschenweng openly commented on the incident afterward and drew a clear personal line: She will forgo spectacular show elements in the air in the future. She wants to perform "with both feet on the ground" from now on, she explained in an interview. The incident showed her that she wants to focus on the essentials in the future – the music and direct contact with the audience.
No Fear of Ridicule
Instead of being unsettled by ridicule or parodies, the singer took the mishap with humor. On social media, she commented self-deprecatingly that with her outfit, one could "only get stuck" anyway. The incident was picked up in the satire show "TV total," where Naschenweng's performance on the swing was caricatured.
Continuing with Groundedness
Melissa Naschenweng wants to continue performing on stage despite the incident – but without floating props or technical risks. She is already planning a down-to-earth performance at the "Schlagerboom Open Air 2025." The show moment became a lesson for her, which she handles confidently and professionally.
