Biography
Lou was born on October 27th, 1963 at 6.a.m. in her parents home as their sixth child and she was immediately encircled by her first fan community, namely her elder brothers and sisters. The merry, happy-go-lucky singer with the vivid orange-coloured hair, who has been on tour with her band for more than 15 years, in Germany as well as in foreign countries, was the winner of the German finals for the Eurovision Song Contest on March, 7th, 2003.
In the spring of 2001, Lou was able to prove her talents before an audience of millions of TV-viewers. On the occasion of the Song Contest German finals of that year in Hannover, she sang a mid-tempo rock number and was voted to a great Nr. 3 spot ! Nevertheless - still a little unfortunate, since it had always been her dream to represent Germany at an international competition. But everyone deserves a second chance! Shortly before Christmas of 2002, Ralph Siegel approached Lou and asked her if she were willing to compete again. He had already written "Let´s Get Happy" beforehand, with lyric-writer Dr. Bernd Meinunger. After hearing the song, which seemed to have been written solely for her, Lou was totally enthusiastic: "This is just my song - and besides, it´s my life´s motto...!"
