Rosalia Stuns at the Brits as GNTM’s Sixth Episode Raises Eyebrows — A Dual-Event Entertainment Roundup
rosalia delivered a show-stealing moment at the Brit Awards with a theatrical staging of Lux material that combined elaborate sets, a live orchestra and a surprise guest, while on television Germany’s Next Topmodel continued to divide viewers with an angel-themed shoot and mounting pressure on the male models. Both nights underscored how spectacle and controversy can drive headlines—and viewer reactions—across music and reality TV.
Rosalia’s Brit Awards performance and International Artist win
The Spanish star brought her Lux era to the Brits with a full staging of the album’s lead single Berghain, merging classical and operatic influences with hip-hop and Spanish-infused sounds. The performance featured elaborate sets and a live orchestra centered on her vocals, and included an unbilled appearance by Björk, who performed the Berghain verse live. That guest turn marked Björk’s first time on the Brits stage in more than 30 years.
rosalia’s night culminated in her being named International Artist Of The Year, an award she accepted after expressing gratitude simply to be able to perform. She used her acceptance to call for continued celebration of different music, cultures and languages. The win came over a field that included Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, Bad Bunny, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga. The performance clip circulated widely on social media under the caption indicating a full-act posting of the show, and later segments of the broadcast saw presenters praise the impact of her set.
GNTM Folge sechs: Engel-Shooting divides the cast
The sixth episode of Germany's Next Topmodel staged an angel-themed photoshoot that gave most contestants a chance to shine but left some struggling to grasp the brief. Contestants were outfitted with either black or white angel wings, creating a uniform look that most embraced. An eighteen-year-old contestant named Vanessa opened the sequence exuberantly, declaring excitement about the chance to "serve face, " though at moments her understanding of the task appeared incomplete.
The episode also introduced two industry icons as guests: Nadja Auermann and Armin Morbach. Auermann announced that the shoot would be a homage to Peter Lindbergh. Only two contestants, Bianca (age 47) and Ursula (age 54), showed clear recognition of Lindbergh’s work; other contestants, including Vanessa, were unclear about who the honorees were. Armin Morbach proceeded to provide direct guidance, beginning with feedback for Bianca.
Ratings slump and a failed family reunion
Early viewing figures after three weeks show a weak start for the season; initial episodes attracted noticeably fewer viewers than the prior year. A companion documentary steering element called "On & Off the Catwalk by Heidi Klum" was intended to bolster interest but did not achieve that effect. A high-profile family reunion segment featuring Heidi Klum with her children Leni and Henry Samuel underperformed, drawing 590, 000 viewers and placing behind another network’s film repeat that night. Program bosses are left seeking models who can drive stronger audience engagement beyond the current family-focused approach.
Männer-Models unter Druck: frühes Umstyling und intensive Shootings
The season’s male models faced an early, high-pressure photoshoot that also hinted at imminent styling changes. Heidi Klum signalled she was assessing the "complete package" as male contestants posed in minimal shorts on a boat while photographer Andreas Ortner captured a retro 1950s swimwear look on the Spree. Some contenders handled the pressure confidently—Yanneck cited comfort in his physique—while others, like Hyan, felt overwhelmed by body-image struggles after weight changes.
