My Take
Helene Fischer is a genuine phenomenon, even if the genre puzzles outsiders. Born in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, to ethnic German parents who emigrated, she became the undisputed queen of German schlager, selling over 18 million records and racking up Echo and Bambi awards. Her stadium-filling, gymnast-level live shows are pure spectacle, far closer to global pop than the cosy stereotype of the genre suggests. I respect anyone who takes a supposedly unfashionable form and makes it utterly massive on sheer professionalism. Dominating an entire country's mainstream for over a decade is no fluke; that's relentless craft and stagecraft.
