commercial to promote the series GLOW. Legacy and impact Gretchen has become a pop culture and internet icon during the 2010s. American recording artist Katy Perry claimed that "She is the internet!" Alvaro Neder of AllMusic wrote about her rise to stardom and the impact of her dancing style: Relying in her dizzying curves and hot dancing style, the Carioca vocalist Gretchen was launched in the late 70's by Mister Sam, soon performing around Brazil with the group Záccaro. After her TV debut at the Sílvio Santos show, she was invited to record "Dance With Me", but big hits ("Freak Le Boom Boom", "Melô do Piripiri", "Conga Conga Conga" "I Love You/Je T'Aime") came only between 1980-2 with My Name Is Gretchen, You and Me and Lonely. In that period, she became a popularity phenomenon, having been one of the most successful Brazilian artists, performing shows by the thousands and appearing regularly in the most famous TV programmes [...] With the decline of her vogue in the 80's, despite her efforts in the exploration of new fashionable rhythms like the lambada, she converted to Protestantism and became a gospel singer. In the 90's her hits became cults in the Brazilian elegant dance floors, and, with the success of similarly shaped and styled singers/dancers like Carla Perez and others revealed by É o Tchan and its epigones, Gretchen was finally acknowledged as the pioneer of a style. Personal life Gretchen has seven children, five biological and two adoptive, including Thammy Miranda; she is also the sister of Yara and Sula Miranda, who are also in the music business. During her career, Gretchen had many boyfriends, who often appeared in the media as her husbands, totaling 17 alleged husbands, when in fact there were five. Since 2015 the singer lives in Monaco, where she opened a new clothing store. Gretchen resides in a duplex with her husband. Gretchen was portrayed by Emanuelle Araújo in the 2017 biographical film Bingo: The King of the Mornings.
