Introduction
Sarah Engels (born 15 October 1992) is a German singer. She is best known for participating in season 8 of Deutschland sucht den Superstar, where she was eliminated from the Top 10, only to return two shows later and eventually become the runner-up.
In 2020, she represented Italy at the Free European Song Contest 2020 with the song "Te Amo Mi Amor", finishing 13th out of 16.
Deutschland sucht den Superstar
Engels also participated in season 7 of Deutschland sucht den Superstar but was eliminated during the recall after her duet with Eugen Flittner. In season 8, she was eliminated in the first Live Show. Later on, she was asked to come back because RTL chief Tom Sänger (not the voters) had eliminated Nina Richel from the show, allegedly for health reasons.
Pietro Lombardi's brother posted a semi-nude picture of Engels after she had used Pietro's mobile phone to talk to girls. After hearing about what Sarah had done, Lombardi's brother Marco decided to take "revenge" by sharing this semi-nude picture of Engels.
