Destiny-Story

The Comeback

Destiny was the comeback album from No Angels.

Fans talked before about a No Angels comeback on Solo and Band fan pages.

At that time, Lucy asked every Angel if they would take part.
All except Vanessa wanted to return as a No Angel. They made a plan with their former management team. But Sandy was already working on her second album. However, someone spread rumours of a No Angels comeback. The secret was out. The Angels made their comeback in 2007. On 31 January 2007, they appeared on RTL's "Stern TV" for their first TV interview. The fans celebrated with the four Angels, Nadja, Lucy, Jessica and Sandy.

No Angels always stated that their focus was never to be on the highest chart-entry. Their love for eachother and building music together for their fans was their inspiration for everything.

Their album Destiny wasn't the number 1# at the charts but, still at number 4# and was a great success. 

Jess statted in few interviews that the Destiny songs were specially written for the band, but 9 songs were already recorded by other artist most of them by Agnes and the others from different artists. 

The Down fall

Their music label/ record company, wasn't happy with all the chart entries of their Singles and Album .
Therefore, the record company gave the four an ultimatum. No Angels had to decide between

A. a replacement for Vanessa or
B. a competition at the Eurovision song contest.

 

If they choose none of them, the label would have dropped the No Angels!
Nadja, Lucy, Jess and Sandy could never imagine themselves replacing Vanessa for a new person, but also the feeling to live with someone, they never know that well as they know each other.
Not everyone like Lucy, were pleased with the Idea to attend to Eurovision Song contest, but after a while everyone find their place in it.
Disappear was the Song the Angels chose to compete. Few fans weren’t happy with that decision, the fans wanted a song like Something About Us, that was more energetic, but the No Angels Fam. settled with the song and stayed together with the Band.

With a little more vote, No Angels won the preliminary round.
But they lost in the Eurovision with 14 points. 12 votes were from Bulgaria, because of Lucy’s loyal Fans. 2 Points were from Swiss… ;( (I still feel guilty, that I couldn’t vote more than two times🙏 😖), back to the story….
The loss was hard to understand for the No Angels because, the audience liked and clapped at their performance, and the four thought they did it good.
Sandy’s mother called her on the phone and told her, that the voices didn’t sound good on tv.
Nadja tells on Audio Now, at the stage-performance their earpieces were malfunctioning. But Nadja was also very nervouse to start the Song with her verse. Her voice was a little shaky because after a long break from the Band, she felt nervous to perform to a lot of people.

They flied back to Germany and had their TV interview at Stefan Raab’s “TV Total” show. Stefan Raab played their performance and that was the first time, they saw and heard themselves and understood why their performance wasn’t good enough.

The No Angels didn’t give up. The Label and everyone part of the No Angels-Team separated from the Angels. But there was Khalid Schröder, he promised them, to be there and take the job as a manager. He introduced the four to the Band “Kool and the Gang”. No Angels took the chance and went with him to America.
