Vanessa Mai Recasts Helene-Fischer Comparisons as a ‘Gift’ in New Interviews

She underscores a warm bond with Andrea Berg through her marriage to manager Andreas Ferber.

Overview

  • Mai says early media labels as “the new Helene Fischer” felt difficult at the time but ultimately boosted her visibility.
  • She recalls being very nervous before her first Christmas with Berg’s family yet feeling lovingly welcomed, calling Berg an icon and family.
  • Mai and Berg have collaborated musically, including the duet “Unendlich” on Berg’s 2022 album “Ich würd’s wieder tun.”
  • The singer revisits her beginnings from Wolkenfrei to solo success after early setbacks, including being mocked following a teenage singing contest.
  • She notes a 2018 rehearsal injury that did not lead to lasting damage and reiterates her post‑2023 advocacy for regular screenings and HPV vaccination after a precancerous finding was removed.
