More than 2 years ago, when Vanessa Mai became the lead singer for Southwest Germany's Wolkenfrei, the Chicago Schlager Music Review was the first publication to showcase her talents in the English-speaking world.
Her videos were remarkably primitive, back then, when she was accompanied 2 journeymen musicians, in the group, Wolkenfrei.
Back then, Chicago Schlager Music Review, presciently predicted that her talents and poised persona, were such, that she would very soon go solo.
She put out a few further more videos with Wolkenfrei, that were, primitive, but a trifle less so.
Then she romantically hooked up with one of the boys from the Ferber family, which manages schlager superstar, Andrea Berg - he got her a contract with Sony-EU records, and - just as we predicted, she dumped the musicians who gave her, her first break.
Well, after all, isn't that the same cutthroat move that Madonna made, early in her career?
So, we were certainly right. In short order, she soon abandoned the two older journeymen, SW German musicians, Marc Fischer and Stefan Kinski - who gave her - her first break with their group Wolkenfrei- and Vanessa Mai unceremoniously dumped them and went out on her own.
Since then, Vanessa Mai’s popularity seems to have increased substantially in her native Germany and, to a lessor extent, in the smaller Austrian and Swiss music markets. The new Vanessa Mai fan club, tells CSMR that they now boast a somewhat substantial fan base in those music markets.
At the televised Schlager Champions Music Show held in January 2017 Vanessa Mai won, the Die 1 der Besten, award, that is: One of the Best Newcomers.
To gain that award at the competition, The Baden-Wurttemberg native, Vanessa Mai, sang her Ohne Dich (For You), a cover of an 80’s song by the famous and mellifluous Bavarian pop group, Münchener Freiheit.
She continues to do somewhat well on schlager music charts and could quite possibly become a leading light on the schlager music circuit.
This, despite the fact that, some Southwest German schlager fans, still resent her cavalier abandonment of the two seasoned performers, who embraced the young Italo-German girl, and gave her her first chance.
Here's Vanessa Mai's throbbing schlager/dance song “Ich sterb für dich” (I'm dying for you) The Italian-German girl looks really great, here, after she became a bleached blonde:
Here's Vanessa Mai's new, rather sleepy ballad, " Ohne Dich" (Without You):
