Michelle is woman of the year
Michelle is one of the most successful Schlager singers in Germany at the moment. Even more it was a surprise when she published a disco album in 2006 under the name Tanja Thomas (her real name is Tanja Hewer): My Passion reached a 21st spot in the charts but was nevertheless widely called a 'commercial flop'. Later last year, she competed in the German edition of Dancing on Ice, where she finished sixth out of eight contestants. All in all, she is best known for her varied private life she talks openly about in the tabloid press and - of course - for her Eurovision Song Contest appearance. Wer Liebe lebt finished 8th in Copenhagen and would be the last German song so far sung in the native language (although the last chorus was in English). In 1997, she already finished third in the German national final with Im Auge des Orkans. You can watch that performance at the end of the page.

I despise people who pose nude, but at least she sang in German!
Her song in 1997 is so much better than the song that actually represented Germany in 1997
She is just amazing... Michelle - I love you!!
i think michelle is fantastic!!
Both her ESC 01 entry, and her German selection song, are boring, ordinary euroballads. However, it's good that she has recovered from all her problems, and is again having a successful carrere as a singer.
GO GO MICHELLE! WE LOVE U
i liked her in 2001 
Michelle was amazing in Eurovision 2001 and deserved so much more than her 8th place (top 5 at least)! The very beautiful ballad 'Wer Liebe Lebt' or 'To live for love' is definitely one of the best German entries to date!! Congratulations Michelle and the best of luck for the future!!
Greetings,

Terrible!
Bad voice, lack of talent.
The opposite of a natural woman.
She sounds very affected. I hated her in 2001. Very overrated in my opinion.
There's something about this story I really don't understand: why would a singer want to thank the readers of Maxim by having nude pics published??? Anyway, I'm not really fond of the sound of her voice, sounds too much as if she's singing through her nose...
wow, if she had been chosen ins tead of zeit, i think the result would have been
1. UK
2.Germany
