Hallo,

Kennt jemand die Sendung "Sing mein Lied - Das Tauschkonzert"?
In der Show singen Sänger die Lieder anderer Künstler; es werden also Lieder getauscht.

Ich tu mir echt schwer mit einer Übersetzung für "Tauschkonzert" (British-English).

Danke
Proposed translations (English)
3 +4 stars covering stars (concert)

3 song-swapping show
3 Cover that tune

@Katy62 Alison just gave me the idea for 'sing my song concert' since the original name is being changed.
Why not?

British advertising always beat the American to a pulp!

Do you know A Translation for Tauschkonzert? No, but if you hum it, I'll play it.

There is no translation for Tauschkonzert. It seems to have been coined for this show (found one other example where it meant a joint concert put on by two well-known singers that don't normally perform together) so you will have to describe it or make something up.

Übersetzung für "Tauschkonzert" Danke... aber mir fehlt das Wort für "Tauschkonzert".

stars covering stars (concert)

When singers sing other people's songs, they 'cover' them. This is a nice image, too, I think.
Peer comment(s):
agree oa_xxx (X) : I like this one, it pretty much says what it's all about.

Thanks Orla, can you sing that for me?
agree Lancashireman : Yes, something with 'cover' in the title. AFAIK, the 'best singers' are to be found at Covent Garden or the New York Met.
6 hrs
AFAIK? But yes, they usually are.
agree Andrea Garfield-Barkworth : Yes, think that sums it up nicely.

Thank you Andrea, that's very kind of you.
agree Alison MacG : Unclear what asker needs, but this seems apt http://www.de.bigticketshop.com/blog/index.php/stars-covern-... http://www.t-online.de/unterhaltung/tv/id_69005472/-sing-mei...

Thanks Alison, actually 'Sing my Song Concert' would do it, too.

song-swapping show

Not unheard of as an expression and has the advantage of expressing the concept from the same angle as the original

I prefer song-swappin’. Reinventing the wheel will be less annoying there..
