French pop chanteuse Chimène Badi auditioned for the second season of the M6 Network's Pop Stars, and while she failed to move on to the finals, her powerhouse performances attracted the attention of juror Valéry Zeitoun, the director of the AZ label, who extended a contract offer. Badi's debut single, "Entre Nous," sold more than a million copies, setting the stage for her debut album. The follow-up singles "Je Vais Te Chercher" and "Si J'avais Su T'aimer" both topped the French charts, establishing Badi as the spiritual heir to the power ballad tradition of Celine Dion. Dis Moi Que Tu M'aimes (2004) generated three number one hits. ~ Jason Ankeny
