Like dad – and yet completely differentDieter Bohlen recognizes her IMMEDIATELY! Menowin Fröhlich's daughter also tries out DSDS
Like dad, like daughter or completely different?!
Around 20 years after his own breakthrough on “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”, his daughter is now stepping into the spotlight: 17-year-old Jiepen dares to go to the casting – and surprises with her very own musical direction. What Dieter Bohlen says about the Fröhlich offspring? You can see that in the video above.

For her, the appearance is more than just a casting – it is a real milestone. “The fact that I can be here today is a very big step in my life, something I never expected to be able to do at some point,” says Jiepen Fröhlich.
Music runs in her family, as she herself says: “My father is very musical. My grandma is very musical and so are a few of my cousins, a few aunts and uncles. We actually all have it in our blood.” And her father is not just anyone. You know her especially in the DSDS cosmos: “My dad is Menowin Fröhlich.”

Not like Papa Menowin! Jiepen Fröhlich tries Schlager
Of course, dad Menowin himself is there to support his daughter. And even if the former DSDS runner-up is almost bursting with pride, one thing is clear to him: “As long as it's just the musical footsteps, I'm totally satisfied. You can leave out everyone else.” The now 38-year-old alludes to his – not exactly easy – past.
But this day belongs to his daughter. And while her father used to impress with pop and R'n'B, she is taking a different path: Jiepen sings hits. And that immediately attracts the attention of the jury around Dieter Bohlen. When asked about her song, she answers confidently: “Well, I brought Marianne Rosenberg 'He belongs to me' with me.” A classic – and at the same time a real challenge. Because Dieter Bohlen makes it clear how high the expectations are: “In my entire life, for 50 years, I have been looking for a singer who sings like Marianne Rosenberg. But I can't find her.” Can she convince him?
