Charming, funny, quick-witted, and she can sing, too – if you asked people about Ina Müller, those are most likely some of the answers you would get. After parting ways with her musical partner Edda Schnittgard, with whom she formed the successful cabaret duo “Queen Bee”, Ina Müller started a successful solo career not only in music, but also on TV. Since 2007, she is hosting a late night show called “Inas Nacht” (“Ina’s Night”), which won various awards, among them the Grimme Preis, one of the most prestigious German TV awards.

But for most people, she is first and foremost a great singer and performer, as you can see in this video:

Stefanie Kloß is the lead singer of the popular German band “Silbermond” (“Silver Moon”). Their debut album “Verschwende deine Zeit”, which was released in 2004, went double platinum in Germany, as did their following album “Laut Gedacht”, which included their first No. 1 hit “Das Beste”. Last year, the band won the title of Best German Act in the MTV Europe Music Awards. And the success of Stefanie Kloß and her bandmates seems far from over – their current album debuted No. 1 in the German, Austrian and Swiss charts and already spawned two more top 10 singles.

But their first hit, and one of the most beautiful German ballads, is this song called “Symphonie”:

In 2004, Elli Erl won the television competition “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” (DSDS), the German version of the hugely popular Idol franchise. Unlike other DSDS winners, she decided not to collaborate with Dieter Bohlen, one of the show’s judges and one the most successul German music producers, due to musical (and probably also personal) differences.

In 2009, she released her third album “Human”, which she worked on with a team of producers from the U.S. and which included this song called “Shadows”:

My time allowing, I will have some more suggestions for you on the weekend. In any case, make sure to cast your vote before midnight on Monday, May 31.
