When one dream comes true and everyone else’s dreams are shattered…
Christian Jährig (30) is Germany’s new superstar; he received the most calls in the 2024 final. Conversely, this also means that the three other finalists did not make it. But what does that do to them? RTL spoke to them about the result immediately after the show.
Nissim Mizrahi made it to third place
The audience has spoken. And how! Because the final result was pretty clear. More than 75% of the votes go to the new superstar Christian Jährig. “This is unbelievable!”it just goes out in the RTL social media live stream shortly after the announcement. “I think it will take me a few days to realize that.”

His competitor Nissim Mizrahi understood it very quickly. The 61-year-old made it in the big DSDS finale (Stream the entire 21st season on RTL+ here!) made it to third place. So his dream of the title has shattered. In the livestream, however, he appears anything but dejected. “I am overjoyed and inspired!”he explains. He got to know Christian as a “really great person,” “with a gift from God, with an angel’s voice,” he emphasizes. He was “absolutely happy” for him and was pleased with the outcome of the evening. “I’m happy for myself too,” he continues. “I’ve made it this far. I gave it my all. Of course, the callers ultimately decided, and he may have had a few more,” he says, pretending to be a good loser. But can you even talk about losing in third place?

In a direct comparison, Philip Matas has to admit defeat
In the big heart-stopping finale, Christian Jährig and Philip Matas (25) stood next to each other and were nervous about the final announcement. Ultimately, it is Christian’s name that presenter Laura Wontorra (35) uses to reveal the winner. The 25-year-old becomes DSDS runner-up. This doesn’t leave him bitter. “We said from the start: The four of us, we’ll treat ourselves to the world!”he emphasizes in the RTL livestream interview after the broadcast. “It became Christian. May it be granted to him! Hopefully he goes to Las Vegas,” he congratulates the new superstar: “He’s a really great person, a super special guy!”

Tom Mc Conner narrowly missed the winner’s podium
If you think of a classic award ceremony with three places on the podium, you have to say that Tom Mc Conner missed it. At 23 years old, he was something of a chick among this year’s finalists. A reason to be sad or disappointed? Absolutely not! Coming in fourth place among tens of thousands of applicants makes him grateful. When we speak to second-placed Philip, he joins the interview, agrees with everything about Christian and explains his great gratitude.
