Jasmin Wagner ((:jasˈmiːn ˈʋaːɡnɐ), born 20 April 1980), better known as Blümchen (:ˈblyːmçən), is a pop and dance music singer, actress, and model/spokesperson. Although she releases her English albums under the name Blossom, her German stage name "Blümchen" actually translates to "floret" or "small flower". She is also known as Denim Girl, performing the song "Are You Ready For Some Darkness?" on the ''Alpha Motherfuckers - A Tribute to Turbonegro'' album. == Musical career == Born in Hamburg to a German father and a Croatian mother, she began performing as a cheerleader for the Hamburg Blue Angels, a squad associated with the Hamburg Blue Devils American football team. In 1995 she started her musical career under the name Blümchen. She became the most successful German female singer of the 1990s. She also released singles and albums in other German-speaking countries, Scandinavia and Asia. Her songs varied from around 50 BPM to about 190 BPM and they range from many genres of music: Dance, Trance, Happy Hardcore, Pop, and Eurodance. She returned, though, in 2003 with the single "Leb Deinen Traum" under her real name, Jasmin Wagner. In 2005 she released her first and so far only studio album 'Die Versuchung'. It was commercially unsuccessful, staying in the German Album Charts for just five weeks. The musical style is very different from the Blümchen songs. It can be categorized as Retro Pop. Her song "Boomerang" (1996) was part of an Internet campaign in early 2010 against ''Deutschland sucht den Superstar'', the German spin-off of ''Pop Idol''. In an attempt to prevent the winner Mehrzad Marashi's debut single, "Don't Believe", from reaching number one in the charts, "Boomerang" was purchased online en-masse, reaching #7 in the charts, higher than its 1996 peak of #11, but still not high enough to unseat "Don't Believe". This made "Boomerang" Jasmin Wagner's fifth top-ten single, over a decade after its release.〔 (in German).
