Biography

German pop quintet No Angels were one of the myriad acts launched to fame via the television amateur showcase Popstars, ultimately becoming the best-selling girl group in national chart history. The group's origins lie in a Popstars casting call announced by German television network RTL 2 in the fall of 2000. More than 4,500 young women auditioned for the upcoming season of the series, 200 of whom were selected to advance to the next round. From there, the judges -- Dutch entertainer Simone Angel, talent booker Mario M. Mendryzcki, and A&R director Rainer Moslener -- whittled the semifinalists to 32 before whisking them away to Majorca, Spain, for a grueling regimen of singing, dancing, and fitness. The judges continued eliminating two or three additional contestants each day until 11 finalists remained; after weeks of additional training, five winners were selected -- Nadja Benaissa, Lucy Diakovska, Sandy Mölling, Vanessa Petruo, and Jessica Wahls -- to comprise No Angels. In episodes to follow, Popstars focused on the fledgling group's evolution, documenting sessions for their 2001 debut single, "Daylight in Your Eyes." The record entered the German pop charts at number one and later topped the charts in Austria, Switzerland, Brazil, Estonia, and Luxembourg as well, vaulting No Angels to global fame. Their debut LP, Elle'ments, followed in March 2001, selling in excess of two million copies worldwide and emerging as the year's best-selling German release on the strength of follow-up singles including "Rivers of Joy" and Eurythmics' "There Must Be an Angel." No Angels' third number one single, "Something About Us," anticipated the June 2002 release of their sophomore effort Now...Us!, which sold more than a million records but failed to match the overwhelming success of its predecessor. An appearance that fall at the Berlin Tränenpalast yielded the live CD/DVD When the Angels Swing, but also proved Wahls' swan song -- upon announcing a hiatus from No Angels to give birth to her first child in March 2003, she later opted against returning, deciding instead to mount a solo career. The remaining foursome returned in August with Pure, a more mature effort led by the chart-topping "No Angel (It's All in Your Mind)." However, on September 5, 2003, No Angels announced their intentions to split -- Wahls rejoined the group to record a farewell single, "Reason," and on December 12 they played a final live date in Düsseldorf. While all five turned to solo careers in music, theater, and television, their individual efforts faltered and in mid-2006 Diakovska approached her former colleagues with reunion offers. Only Petruo declined, and the remaining members of No Angels began rehearsing and recording in secrecy, waiting until a news conference in January 2007 to make official the rumors of their return. A comeback single, "Goodbye to Yesterday," hit retail two months later. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

(2000—2004)

The No Angels are an all-female pop group from Germany, consisting of members Nadja Benaissa, Lucy Diakovska, Sandy Mölling, and Jessica Wahls. Critically acclaimed, the band has won dozen of awards and prizes since their establishment in the early 2000s, including three ECHOs, a World Music Awards, a NRJ Music Award, two Comets, a Bambi and a Goldene Kamera.

Originally a quintet, the group originated in 2000 on the international television talent show Popstars and was one of the first television-casted acts to enjoy attention throughout Central Europe in the early 2000s. Following a major success with record-breaking single "Daylight in Your Eyes" and debut album Elle'ments in 2001, a series of hit records established their position as one of the most successful female band vocalists to emerge in the early decade. They have since been ranked as both the "biggest-selling German girlband to date" and "most successful girlband in Contintental Europe" by the media,[1][2] with four number-one hits, three number-one albums and record sales in excess of more than 5.0 million.[1][3] In fall 2003, the members went their separate ways due to lasting exhaustion, focusing on their individual solo careers in music, theatre, television and film.[4]

In 2007, it was confirmed that four members of the original line-up, excluding original band member Vanessa Petruo, had reformed permanently and were set to record their first studio album in over four years, Destiny (2007). A year after, the group represented Germany with their single "Disappear" at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, where they finished 23rd in the final voting.[5] After another musical hiatus, the band released a second post-reunion studio album entitled Welcome to the Dance in 2009.[6]

History

2000: Formation on Popstars

The members of the No Angels were selected on the RTL2 channel's first series of Popstars, a reality talent show which set about producing a five-piece girl group. Acquired by Tresor TV television producer Holger Roost-Macias at the MIPTV Media Market event in Cannes, France in 2000, the series was the third adaption of the format following both an Australian and a New Zealand version.[7] In August and September of the same year, over 4,300 hopefuls turned up to auditions in Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Cologne, Oberhausen, Stuttgart and Munich which required both singing and dancing experience.[8] The judges consisted of Dutch entertainer Simone Angel, concert booker Mario M. Mendryzcki and Rainer Moslener, an A&R director of Polydor Records.[8]

Thirty-two out of two hundred girls eventually made it from the local recall shows to Majorca, Spain to get trained in singing, dancing, and fitness. While the judges continued eliminating two or three girls each day with the help of choreographer Detlef Soost and British vocal coach Robert Bicknel, eleven finalists remained and were sent home to prepare.[9] After a final elimination round, Nadja Benaissa, Lucy Diakovska, Sandy Mölling, Vanessa Petruo and Jessica Wahls were chosen, and signed a recording contract with Polydor.[7] Managed by Joy Berhanu during their first year, the girls were named No Angels following a public televoting and moved in together near Munich.[9] With the final members of the group in place, the program followed the group during its recording sessions, photo and music video shoots and other promotional commitments such as showcases and instores. The show concluded with the band's first public live performance at The Dome at the Dortmunder Westfalenhalle in February 2001.[7]

2001: Commercial breakthrough with Elle'ments

After weeks of recording the No Angels released their debut single "Daylight in Your Eyes" on February 5, 2001 in Central Europe.[10] The song instantly entered the top position on the Austrian, German and Swiss Singles and Airplay Charts, making it one of the most successful debuts of the year.[11] Selling over one million copies, the song also proved to be a hit outside German-speaking Europe when it entered the national singles charts of France, Latvia, Poland and the United Kingdom, and even became a number-one success in Estonia.[12] Although an alternate version of the original music video was filmed for the North American market the following year, both the video and the song saw minor commercial success stateside where "Daylight in Your Eyes" however, peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart in June 2002.[13]

On March 12, 2001, the band released their debut album, Elle'ments. German producers Thorsten Brötzmann, Leslie Mandoki, and Peter Ries consulted on the album, which — due to the sheer volume of interest in the group — also entered the charts at number-one, the No Angels breaking records for becoming the "first act to ever debut at the top position in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland with both its debut single and debut album."[11] The album would go on to sell more than 1.1 million copies worldwide, making it the biggest-selling German album of 2001.[14] Elle'ments was eventually certified triple platinum and septuplicate gold by the IFPI,[14] and earned the band several internationally acclaimed prizes such as a Bambi, two ECHO Awards and a World Music Award.[15]

Riding a wave of publicity and hype, the group's second single "Rivers of Joy" became a top ten hit, while third single "There Must Be an Angel," a cover version of the 1985 hit by British pop duo Eurythmics, continued the group's remarkable sales by topping the charts once again in Austria and Germany.[16][17] The last release from Elle'ments was a double A-side of album cut "When the Angels Sing" and "Atlantis," a duet with the song's original performer Donovan, the band had re-recorded for the closing credits of the Walt Disney Feature Animation picture Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001). Included on a concomitant album for the German-speaking music market, it was once more released as a single and became a top five entry.[18] Following this and two short engagements as the main opening act for the German leg of both DJ Bobo and Westlife's 2001 concert tours, the No Angels embarked on their first own concert tour in October 2001. Compiling more than thiry dates, the tour concluded in December 2001, with reportedly all shows being sold out.[19]

2002: Career development on Now... Us!

In June 2002, the No Angels released their second album, Now... Us!, which featured co-writes by all members and received critical acclaim from many critics who believed the band would not last past their first album.[20][21] The album debuted at number one on the German Album Chart and at number two and four on the Austrian and Swiss albums chart respectively, and was eventually certified platinum and double gold by the IFPI.[14] Producers such as Mousse T. and Pontus Söderqvist consulted on Now... Us!, whose media-critical leading single "Something About Us," penned by band member Petruo, became the group's third non-consecutive number-one hit in Austria and Germany within a period of sixteen months.[22] Further singles released from the album included latin pop ballad "Still in Love with You," which reached the top five and was awarded a NRJ Music Award the following year,[23] as well as Mousse T.-produced funk track "Let's Go to Bed," the band's first release to miss the German top ten.[24]

Following an exclusive swing concert at the Berlin Tränenpalast in October, the No Angels soon followed with a DVD and a live album, entitled When the Angels Swing, featuring their biggest hits and selected songs from their first two albums, re-arranged by Grammy Award-nominated jazz musician Till Brönner.[25] Critically acclaimed by critics, the album reached number nine of the German Albums Chart, eventually going gold.[14] In November, the girls embarked on their second national concert tour, the Four Seasons Tour, playing sell-out shows in theatres across German-speaking Europe. Acts such as B3 and the Sugababes served as their support.[26]

Soon after the girls experienced a bit of turbulence when Jessica Wahls announced she was taking a break from the band to give birth to her first child. Although the girls agreed on Jessica's return the following year and Wahls was positive of a re-join after her daughter's birth in March 2003, the No Angels' management eventually decided on her departure in July 2003 as the group had equally successful went on as a quartet.[27] While the singer accepted a recording contract as a solo artist with the group's label, Sandy Mölling later noted Jessica's pregnancy marked "the beginning of the end of the No Angels."[27]

2003—2004: Pure era and disbandment

In early 2003, the remaining four members of the No Angels began intensifying work on their third regular album. Encouraged to exercise more self-control on the longplayer, the band took over responsibility in recording and selecting songs to guarantee a more personal effort — a step that challenged criticism and growing scepticism among the band's label Cheyenne Records and recording company Polydor.[18] Entitled Pure, the album was eventually released in August 2003 and became the band's third number-one album in Germany.[28] Sporting a more mature side of pop music, it earned them their best reactions yet, drawing comparisons to Madonna's album Ray of Light (1998) as well as other female groups such as All Saints and the Sugababes.[29] With a total of about 150,000 copies sold however, it failed to achieve the success of its two best-selling predecessors, still going gold.[30] Rock pop-influenced leading single "No Angel (It's All in Your Mind)" became the group's fourth non-consecutive number-one single in Germany and seventh top ten hit in Austria,[31] while mediterran "Someday" and R&B-driven "Feelgood Lies" both reached the top five of the charts.[32][33]

Further planned single releases off the album never materialised. On September 7, 2003, the quartet announced that they would not come together for a new No Angels project in 2004 due to lasting exhaustion and instead were preparing their official disbandment towards the end of the year.[34][35] While the media began a never-ending speculation about the reasons for their split and the pro and contra of a "creative pause," the girls and their management arranged the cancellation of all dates of their scheduled 2004 Pure Acoustic Tour.[36] Even so, the band agreed on releasing a final album, The Best of No Angels, in December of the same year. Apart from a collection of all singles the band had released between the years of 2001 and 2003, the compilation album also contained a reworked version of one of the debut album tracks, "Reason." Involving a re-joined Jessica Wahls, it was released as the band's final single before their split and became another top ten success for the group.[37][38] A charity single featuring the band's vocals, "Do They Know It's Christmas?," was released simlutaneously and reached number three on the German Singles Chart.[39]

After a farewell concert in the Munich Olympiahalle on November 28, several promotional television appearances, and a private unplugged performance in the Munich P1 club on December 12, 2003, the No Angels each went their separate ways, concentrating on their individual solo careers in music, theatre, television and film.[37] A live compilation of their P1 concert, entitled Acoustic Angels, would become the their final release on the Cheyenne label in July 2004.[40]

2006—2008: Reunion and ESC participation

After listening to a few old recordings, Lucy Diakovska approached her former bandmates in mid-2006 to arrange a first meeting with all original band members for years.[41] While Vanessa Petruo refused to re-join the band in favour of an independent solo career in music and film,[35] all other members of the original line-up agreed upon Diakovska's request to reunite for a musical comeback, and the band eventually took action to prepare their next album in secrecy from public.[41] Following weeks of public rumors about a reunion of the band, an official press conference on January 31, 2007 announced that the No Angels had reformed and were working on a new studio album with producers Boogieman, Tobias Gustafsson, Steve Mac, Adrian Newman, and the Redfly team.[42]

No Angels during their performance at the Eurovision Song Contest finals on May 24, 2008 in Belgrade, Serbia.

Although acclaimed and distinguished by the media, the reunion widely failed to link previous successes. The band's first commercial release in years, Destiny, received a lukewarm reception from music critics,[43] and debuted at number 4 in Germany, number 14 in Austria and number 22 in Switzerland, making it the band's first regular studio album release neither to reach the top position on the German Media Control Charts nor the top ten in Austria and Switzerland respectively. It eventually sold 30,000 copies domestically during its run on the charts, also making it the No Angels' lowest selling album to date.[44] While the album's lead single "Goodbye to Yesterday" still made it to the top five, follow-up "Maybe" and double A-single "Amaze Me"/"Teardrops" became the No Angels' lowest-charting singles to date, never making it to the top 20 of any chart. In March 2008, the album was re-released as Destiny Reloaded, including previously unreleased songs, remixes and b-sides. In fall 2007, the No Angels produced the theme song, "Life Is a Miracle" and a music video for the Warner Bros. animated feature Kleiner Dodo.[45]

In January 2008, it was announced that the group had qualified for the Grand Prix Vorentscheid, the German national pre-selection of the Eurovision Song Contest 2008.[46] Following several weeks of promotional appearances, the No Angels entered the competition in March with Remee-and-Troelsen-produced "Disappear," competing against all-male groups Marquess and Cinema Bizarre, and singers Tommy Reeve and Carolin Fortenbacher. Widely considered as early favourites by the media, the band eventually finished first, having earned tight 50,5% of the audience vote over Fortenbacher in the second and final election round.[5][46] Released on February 29, 2008, "Disappear" reached number four in Germany, where it became the band's biggest-selling single in years.[47] With Germany being one the biggest financial contributors to the European Broadcasting Union, the No Angels were allowed to skip the contest's semi-finals and automatically qualified for competition with 24 other countries in the finals of the ESC in May 2008.[48] An estimated 100 million fans watched the final contest, and viewers from all 43 participating nations voted for their favourite performers via text message and telephone.[49] The No Angels eventually ranked 23rd place out of the 25 countries that participated with a total of 14 points – taking 12 points from Bulgaria, band member Lucy Diakovska's native country, and 2 points from Switzerland only. Only the United Kingdom and Poland placed below the four-member female band.[49][50]

2009—present: Changes with Welcome to the Dance

Having managed themselves since their reformation, the band signed a deal with Khalid Schröder's Kool Management in mid-2008, and started work on their fifth studio album Welcome to the Dance, involving a smaller team of North American musicans such as The Writing Camp, Adam Messinger, Nasri Atweh, Bill Blast, and Aaron Pearce.[6][51][52] Taking the group's work further into the dance and electronic, it was released on September 11, 2009, following band member Nadja Benaissa's charge of grievous bodily harm.[53] The album debuted at number twenty-six in Germany where it became both the band's lowest-charting and -selling album to date. Its first single "One Life" however, reached number fifteen on the German Singles Chart.[54][55]
