[edit] History
[edit] Formation
Under the motto "Neue Engel braucht das Land" ("The country needs new angels") Popstars returned with a fifth installement in August 2006, this time searching for the legal successors of the show's first and most successful formation, the No Angels. More than 5,100 hopeful female singers attended open television auditions in Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Hanover, Munich and Dortmund, conducted by choreographer Detlef "D!" Soost, producer Dieter Falk and singer Nina Hagen. Over the course of several recalls and re-recalls the three judges reduced the contestants to a group of 20 who immediately travelled to Ischgl, Tyrol to get trained in singing, dancing, and fitness. In the end eleven girls remained who again moved into a mansion in Pullach, Munich to start working on their performance and publicity skills. While Soost, Falk, and Hagen continued eliminating one or two girls each week, the six remaining finalists went on with the recordings of alternative versions of their debut album Temptation and the shoot for their first single "Shame". A number of internationally known record producers including Popstars judge Dieter Falk, Toni Cottura, Marc Mozart, and producer-duo Tim Hawes/Pete Kirtley from the UK were involved in the making of this album.
On the season's finale on Thursday, November 23, 2006, three of the six were chosen to make the band: Mandy Capristo, Senna Guemmour, and Bahar Kızıl beat out Arjeta Zuta, Katarzyna Zinkiewicz and Romina Reinhardt - and eventually formed the trio Monrose.
