Germany seeks the superstar
In 2009 she took part in the talent show Deutschland sucht den Superstar and was the first woman since Juliette Schoppmann , Elli Erl and Denise Tillmanns to reach the final. Dieter Bohlen made Bruce Darnell available to her as a coach during the competition to work on her English and her stage presence. Previously, the news that she had separated from her fiancé, who had given her the choice between DSDS and herself, had gone through the press. The Süddeutsche Zeitung described both finalists as "broken personalities" at first: They "worked hard on their self-esteem and thus won over the majority of the viewers". In the final, she was skeptical about her chance of winning: “I can already imagine. But whether it will be enough is questionable. Daniel has a lot of female fans, and they could possibly make the difference. "
Cross was defeated in the tightest final in the history of DSDS Daniel Schuhmacher with 0.94% difference. According to RTL, the semi-final was seen by up to 6.73 million viewers, the final was seen by up to 7.3 million viewers.
