Patricia Kaas (Forbach, December 5 of 1966) is a singer French candidate and Marianne (the personification of the Republic) in 2000.
Stiring-Wendel grew up in a family of seven, a German mother and French father miner. With the help of her parents, Patricia began to give concerts at the age of 8 years. Sang the songs of Sylvie Vartan, Claude François and Mireille Mathieu, and American songs like "New York, New York."
For 13 years signed a contract with the German cabaret Rumpelkammer Saarbrücken, where he will sing all night Saturday at 7 years. In 1985 he 'discovered' by the actor Gérard Depardieu, who decided to produce the first song of Kaas' Jalouse 'which is a medium failure.
Two years later will meet with Didier Barbelivien, who wrote the song "Mademoiselle chante le blues", which was recorded in 1988. Since then Patricia will sell millions of albums between 1988 and 1999 thanks to his charisma, his unique voice and good composers (notably Jean-Jacques Goldman and Pascal Obispo).
In 1993 and 1994 he made a great tour of the World Tour de Charme of what a CD was released. Participated in 2002 with Jeremy Irons in a film by Claude Lelouch (And Now Ladies and Gentlemen), his first experience on the big screen and whose soundtrack is included on his album by Patricia Kaas Piano Bar, a tribute to French music.
Patricia is the representative of France at the Festival of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow with the song Et s'il fallait le faire one of the great ballads that have been presented in the festival, and according to experts one of the favorites for the European public and the jury. A song that many have said that is not to dance but to listen to it again and again because it awakens the best feelings of humanity ....

“While not a soundtrack per se, this suite of songs was inspired by Claude Lelouche's And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen (2001). In the film, French singing star Patricia Kaas portrays a nightclub chanteuse suffering from a brain tumor who falls for a similarly afflicted thief (played by Jeremy Irons.) Given the plotline, it's not surprising that the tunes are drawn primarily from the classic chanson tradition. But strangely, Kaas interprets most of them in the maudlin English translations once favored by the Rat Pack, Rod McKuen, and Bobby Darin. Even so, and despite her consistently over-cautious phrasing, the vocals are attractively languid and husky, inflected with a dead-pan world-weariness that Marlene Dietrich would have recognized. However, it would be pleasant to hear Kaas essay this repertoire in a more intimate, warm-toned setting. As it is, her voice is periodically overwhelmed by echo plus poorly calibrated electric bass and keyboard lines.”
