Annemarie Eilfeld (born 2 May 1990), also known as Annemie, is a German singer and songwriter, best known as a former contestant of Deutschland sucht den Superstar, the German version of the Idols franchise. She released her first single "Animal Instinct" in May 2010.

Early life

[edit]

Eilfeld is the daughter of a music teacher and an estate agent. In her early childhood, her family moved from Wittenberg to Dessau-Roßlau. At the age of seven, she began an education in music and dance. Over the following years, she took part in various local song contests.

Career

[edit]

In 2004, Eilfeld participated in Germany's casting show Star Search 2 and qualified for the finals.[1] This was closely followed by her debut single "C the Light" (Edel Music), which appeared under the name "Anne Marie".[2]

Between 2005 and 2008, she occasionally performed on stage with different local bands.

Deutschland sucht den Superstar

[edit]

In 2009's casting show Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS), broadcast on RTL, Eilfeld made it to the top three.[3] In contrast to the generally negative views of the jury, the German tabloid Bild supported Eilfeld, who was pushed into the role of a "super-bitch"[4] throughout the show.[5] Due to contractual agreements, Eilfeld has had to take a three-month break from publishing new music, like all former DSDS contestants.
