The former flagship face of German pop-pop is back with a new Best Of compilation and seven new titles. Was it in the last time it was rather quiet around Michelle, the singer courage and desire seems to have passed and tried to revive the compilation "The Ultimate Best Of" a new start her career again. The title collection offers mainly old material. There can be found the greater success of singer it. But after the first few songs the listener is aware that Michelle has missed the train and ravages of time. When it comes to pop-pop, she played a role in earlier times, because there was little other singers next to her. They also had good producer, which had focused on the marketing success of that publication. Meanwhile, the four-four time world will be determined by other artists and this set the bar significantly higher than this has been the case a decade ago. And by then drops what one might sooner perceived than quality, is now clearly back into midfield. Michelle lacks clearly in volume in his voice. This is evident especially in the danceable pieces. Here, the very well-produced beats and melodies seem to suppress the voice in such an extent that one gets the impression, Michelle must make an effort to be heard. In the ballads, in which the volume and the urge of the sounds is more restrained, the voice is essential to better advantage. But here it must be noted that the power of song by Michelle's fine, but nothing more. Proof of this are the new title. Nice and safe produce, inconsequential and without proper highlights. Too bad, but maybe it is precisely these pieces, despite the help of hacks like ex Rosenstolz singer Peter Plate and Nino de Angelo simply further evidence that the former has now taken a qualitative Schlagerzug ride that Michelle can only partially followed. And although the singer again worked increasingly on their outfit and visually presents really fresh and with a new hairdo and appealing fashion, so they can thus not stop their way into the mass of the average hit releases. All in all, the rather exuberant with "The Ultimate Best Of" by Michelle titled compilation a nice overview of the work of the singer, but seems to be slipping in comparison with other currently trendy pop-pop singers. A proof that expectations and reality but, unfortunately, at a greater distance, as Michelle and their fans wanted to admit this might long time.
