My Take
Andrea Berg embodies a kind of artistic loyalty I genuinely respect. A schlager singer from Krefeld who sang at carnivals as a child, she broke through with Gefuehle in 1995 and went on to win the Goldene Stimmgabel six years running, eventually earning Germany's Cross of the Order of Merit. Schlager is often dismissed by tastemakers, yet sustaining a beloved national career in a homegrown genre for decades is no small achievement. I find something admirable in an artist who ignores passing trends to keep singing the songs of her own culture. State recognition like hers is well earned.
