Vanessa Struhler (born November 4, 1985 in Oberhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia), better known as Vanessa S., is a German singer and songwriter who came to fame as a finalist of the first season of the television show Deutschland sucht den SuperStar, the German version of Pop Idol.
Struhler was born in Oberhausen, Germany to a Filipina mother, Lorna Abrakosa, and a German father, Klaus Struhler. She has a younger brother, Christian.
In 2002 Vanessa participated in the first season of Deutschland sucht den SuperStar. Though she received a wildcard and became the last candidate to join the ten finalists, Struhler was able to boost her popularity constantly with performances of Christina Milian’s “When You Look At Me”, Oleta Adams’ “Get Here” or Vanessa Williams’ “Save The Best For Last”. However, in the end she was voted out on February 8, 2003, and thus got fourth place in the competition. As of 2007, she holds the record for the most times in the bottom three on the series.
After the show, Struhler teamed up with Hip-Hop producer DJ Tomekk to create her debut album. The pre-release duet “Ride or Die (I Need You)”, a collaboration with German rapper Trooper Da Don, became a major hit, eventually peaking at #4 on the German singles chart. In summer 2003 Struhler (now performing under her pseudonym Vanessa S.) released her R&B influenced first album Ride With Me. The album managed to peak at #30 on the albums chart but failed to earn critical and commercial success, selling 30,000 copies only.
