Myriam Abel
Myriam Abel (born 15 May 1981 in La Grand -Combe, Gard as Myriam Abdelhamid ) is a French singer. It became known as the winner of the third season of the show Nouvelle Star.
Life
In her youth, Myriam Abel participated in various television shows and auditions in part, including The passe à la télé, la Rose d'Or d' Antibes, Graines de star and La Chance aux chansons.
In November 1999, she was chosen by Disney to sing under the pseudonym Myriam Morea Quand elle m'aimait encore, the film score for Toy Story 2
In 2005 she won the third season of the show Nouvelle Star, the French version of Pop Idol. This offered her the possibility of an album with Sony BMG to bring out. However, it was known after her victory that she had already signed a record deal with OUTCOM Production. This contradicted the basic idea of the program, which is intended for non-professional singers, and at the same time prevented a rapid release of a debut album after her victory.
Ultimately they brought but then in late 2005 the single Donne out, which was written by Lara Fabian and Jean -Félix Lalanne. Shortly thereafter, she was withdrawn due to legal problems from the record company, to be published later again. The presented two months late and album La vie devant toi reached "only" number 9 in the album charts, which was below the expectations of Sony BMG. It was re-released with the second single Baby Can I Hold You, a cover version of Tracy Chapman, in the summer of 2006.
Donne eventually sold over 100,000 copies, Baby Can I Hold You, however, gained a short, mediocre success.
