At "TMS" Guildo Horn was hiding under the bull mask. spot on news he reveals why he would have preferred a different costume.

Shortly before the grand finale, two more celebrities were exposed on Tuesday evening (March 16) at "The Masked Singer". One of them, the muscular bull, turned out to be the pop star Guildo Horn (58, "Guildo loves you"). In an interview with the news agency spot, he reveals what attracted the ESC seventh of 1998 to the show format, how he would choose between the ProSieben stage and that of the Eurovision Song Contest and what the bull costume did to him on news.

How are you today, shortly after your show was kicked out by the audience?

Guildo Horn: Age-appropriate.

What do you mean by that?

Horn: I have very good blood pressure and the lactate values ​​are also correct. I am happy and satisfied and would have loved to sing a second song yesterday, but when I took off the bull's head and suddenly could talk again … that was nice too. I am happy to have been there. It was a lot of fun.

What made you decide to take part in "The Masked Singer"?

Horn: The format is very attractive. It was great to slip into a different shape, to create something new and to sing songs that I had never sung before – and then perform on this stage with the great dancers. On top of that, I'm a live musician and because of Corona I played relatively few concerts in the past year. So it was good for me to spend six to eight weeks around the clock with music.

Her bull costume was very heavy. How big was the sporting challenge?

Horn: Huge! You can only get an exact idea of ​​it when you are in the costume. In the tight, muscle-packed body suit and the head with the large horns, it is very difficult to see and you get incredibly little air, which triggers a kind of anxiety. In addition, the mask creates its own resonance when singing, you hear your voice completely different.

If you had to decide: Would you take part in "The Masked Singer" again or would you perform again in the Eurovision Song Contest?

Horn: I would definitely prefer to do "The Masked Singer". On the one hand, the ESC is an eaten topic for me. I did that and it was a great story, but here on "The Masked Singer" you felt even more like part of a team. The fun factor is also in the foreground.

You sang in English on "TMS". Do you think you would have been recognized earlier with German texts?

Horn: Yeah. I come from Trier and grew up speaking colloquial language, which I think I still hear today. I can neither speak nor sing correct standard German. The cloud of obscuration is certainly bigger when I sing in English.

Have you changed your singing so that you are not immediately recognized?

Horn: Not directly. I didn't want to sing with a completely disguised voice, because ultimately you want to sing a song in such a way that it sounds good. At the same time, the show was supposed to be fun and I didn't want to just stand there to catch my breath and sing beautifully. Instead, I moved around a lot and just tried out many different styles of music.

The two horns on the bull's head were the clearest sign that you were under the mask. Was it made with you in mind?

Horn: No, I got it on loan. Originally I would have liked to become a cuddly toy and at first I couldn't do that much with the bull – but then I really grew fond of it. I was able to tickle another side of me, was sometimes irritated. When I was in the costume, I could be who I actually am. (laughs)

In the previous show, Ruth Moschner, funny enough, speculated that the bull couldn't be you because of his "rather flat, small" bottom. What did you think at that moment?

Horn: My body is made to be talked about!

Which costume do you treat yourself to victory in "The Masked Singer"?

Horn: The candidate of my heart was the chick. It rocked the show, was so cute and insanely loving. I will grant each of the finalists the victory. There are great singers and great colleagues who convey their characters well. I think I know three of them, but I'm not giving away anything.

A little hint, please!

Horn: The flamingo has very, very delicate hands.
