"That's something to think about"
Marianne Rosenberg reported on her 50-year career in the podcast "Aber bitte mit Schlager" and criticized the pop music business.
Kiel - Pop star Marianne Rosenberg (69) has come a long way in her life. Her new album "Bunter Planet" entered the pop music charts at number one and reached number nine in the international charts. Nevertheless, the musician has criticized the pop music industry.
Marianne Rosenberg criticizes the pop music business
In the podcast "Aber bitte mit Schlager" she talked about the fact that women still have disadvantages in society today. Rosenberg, who says she was very well paid as a DSDS juror, described herself as a fighter and feminist and reported that equality has still not been achieved in the pop music industry. "It is still the case, even in my business, that women do not hold positions of power," said the "Er gehört zu mir" singer.
In over 50 years of music career, she has only experienced a woman being her boss at a record company twice. "That is something to think about," said the 69-year-old. Nevertheless, she also admitted that there are already improvements in terms of equality. In the hip-hop sector in particular, there are "new women" who are fighters and who take their place very naturally.

In her own industry, however, Rosenberg still seems to miss these women: "I wish that this would slowly grow back in pop music somehow." The pop star also spoke out in favor of the fact that when you make music, you should be able to determine your own music. Producers and composers should look at how they can best support the talent of the singers.
"And not to keep her small and stupid and then let her come into the studio and just put her voice on a finished playback that others have made." You don't have to write your own songs, but she would like the singers to assert themselves more and be more involved and have more to do with the end result. Marianne Rosenberg's own beginnings in the pop music industry were also difficult because she didn't seem feminine enough.
