Lena Meyer-Landrut

I think of Lena Meyer-Landrut as proof that Eurovision can actually launch a real career rather than a one-night novelty. Winning Oslo in 2010 with "Satellite" as a teenager from Hanover could have been a peak she spent years trying to recapture, but the fact that both the single and My Cassette Player went straight to number one and platinum tells me the audience genuinely bought in. What impresses me most is the longevity: three separate MTV Europe Best German Act wins across 2011, 2013, and 2015 means she stayed relevant long after the contest spotlight faded. That kind of staying power is rare for contest winners.
