Chris Kempers ( born Christiane Kempers , 7 January 1965 , Mönchengladbach ) is a German singer , best known for her participation in the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest . Kempers took part in the German Eurovision selection in 1988 as a member of group Rendezvous with " Du bist ein Stern für mich " , which only managed tenth place . In early 1990 , she appeared on a television programme imitating Jennifer Rush , and was noticed by Ralph Siegel , who offered her the opportunity to perform one of his songs as a duet with Slovenian singer Daniel Kovac in the 1990 Eurovision selection , which was held on 29 March in Munich . Kempers and Kovac went on to win the selection with the song , entitled " Frei zu leben " ( " Free to Live " ) . Although the victory was by a considerable margin , it was unexpected , as not only had the song itself been seen by many as somewhat trite , but it was also considered by many viewers that Kovac had given a shaky vocal performance . " Frei zu leben " went forward to the 35th Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 5 May in Zagreb , where it placed ninth of 22 entries
