A look back into 2007

Sarah released her sixth studio album "Soulicious" this year and the recording and promotion has kept her quite busy all through the year. Now as it's just over a week left of 2007, it's time to take a little look back into what Sarah's been up to in the past 12 months, a little overview of the most important events of each month.

	The beginning of the year 2007 was rather quiet in the world of Sarah Connor. Calm before the storm, as they say. In January, she made one public appearance on Radio FFN's 20th birthday party in Hannover, where she performed From Zero To Hero, Bounce and Living To Love You. Towards the end of the month, she was also spotted shaking her booty in latino star Shakira's concert in Hamburg.
	In February Sarah posted some exciting news on her official website: "I'm just on my way to the studio to record a new album and to be honest I'm quite nervous and excited." The album recording began on February 14th and it was done in Berlin - in studio "Saal 4" of the former Berlin Rundfunk Orchester - with a 46-piece live orchestra. The video for the album's lead single "The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" was filmed on February 21st in Berlin.
	March started with a bang - the Bravo magazine that was out on March 1st had another message from Sarah and the release date for the new album. A week later Bravo also revealed futher details of Sarah's sixth studio album called "Soulicious": it would include covers of Sarah's favourite American soul songs from the 60s and 70s. The album was finished on March 10th and on the same day the boxing themed video for "The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" was premiered on Viva. In the video Sarah displayed a new haircut, darker hair and a fringe. The fringe stayed, but the colour was back to blonde when she attented the Echo Awards with her mother in Berlin on March 25th wearing a sparkling Alberta Ferretti dress. After the Echo appeareance, Sarah started her big radio promotion tour that would take her all over Germany talking about her new album. On March 30th the wait was finally over - "Soulicious" and "The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" were released in Germany. The busy month was finished the next day when Sarah had the honour to perform "The Impossible Dream" in the boxring at Henry Maske's comeback fight against Virgil Hill, which reached about 16 milion viewers at the end.
	April was no less busy for Sarah. Her radio promotion tour around Germany continued. She also did a sexy photoshoot for the cover of German Vanity Fair magazine. "Soulicious" peaked at #6 in Germany and "The Impossible Dream" at #8. In between all the promotion, Sarah, Marc and the kids also found time to fly to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands for a well deserved spring break, where the paparazzi caught them sunbathing and riding camels. Just a day after she'd returned from her holiday, she already visited Stefan Raab's talk show TV Total. On April 30th Sarah won a Golden Otto award in the "Supersinger - female" category for the third year in a row. She also performed Soulicious at the award ceremony in Düsseldorf.
	Less than a week after the Otto award, it was already time for another award. This time it was the award for Best Female on Viva Comet Awards in Cologne. Sarah wasn't expecting to win the award and was left completely speechless with tears of happiness in her eyes when she arrived on stage to accept the award.
	June began with some really good news: the second single from "Soulicious" would be a new version of "Sexual Healing", now featuring US star Ne-Yo! The video was shot on June 1st and already premiered 7 days later with a release date set for end of June. Three days after her 27th birthday, Sarah performed her only full lenght concert of the year. It was a one-off open air concert in Selb, eastern Germany. In June she also had time to christen a kangaroo as "Konrad" in Serengeti-Park Hodenhagen, appear on the Johannes B. Kerner talkshow and perform "Sexual Healing" on Let's Dance, where she also sang "Run To You" by Whitney Houston when one of the couples danced. "Sexual Healing" was released on June 29th.
	In July, Sarah didn't do any public appearances. Instead, the Terenzi family enjoyed their summer holiday in Altafulla, Spain and also in Boston, USA visiting Marc's relatives. "Sexual Healing" peaked at #11 in the German charts.
	Sarah's summer holiday continued well into August, but at the end of the month it was time for a big appearance. First on August 24th, she visited Viva Live talking about Bravo's Schau Nicht Weg campaign against bullying at schools and also displaying a new shorter haircut. The next day she performed a great seven song set at the massive Schau Nicht Weg open air concert in Berlin that was broadcasted live.
	September saw Sarah doing charity work. She teamed up with Komen Germany to fight against press cancer and use her celebrity status to educate girls and women about this important subject. She also performed at Dreamball, a charity gala in Berlin. But it wasn't all charity work in September, she also partied at the Music Meets Media event in Berlin.
	Sarah's husband Marc had been working on his own project, "Terenzi Horror Nights" that would bring American Halloween to Germany at amusement park Europa-Park in Rust. Sarah took part to the press launch of the "Terenzi Horror Nights" dressed up as a vampire! At the end of the month she also performed at the TV Total Stock Car Racing Challenge and Kinder chocolate's 10th birthday anniversary.
	November was a busy month for Sarah, a mixture of party and work. It started with the MTV Europe Music Awards that were held in Munich and as Germany's biggest popstar, Sarah was of course invited to the afterparty that she attented with her sister Marissa. Another party she attented was the iPhone launch where all the guests got free iPhones! Sarah was also present at the Unicef Gala in Bremen where she performed "Oh Happy Day" with a gospel choir and gave the audience an accidental glance at her bra. November's tv appearances included a "Son Of A Preacher Man" performance at Guinness World Records Show.
	After recording the official Coca-Cola Germany christmas song "The Best Side Of Life" last year, Sarah now joined the Coca-Cola christmas tour. Last year she only performed on the final stop of the christmas tour in Berlin, but this time she did a concert on three of the dates: Cologne, Nürnberg and Leipzig. A December highlight for those of us who couldn't attend the christmas tour was obviously the first televised performance of "The Best Side of Life" at Ein Herz Für Kinder fundraising event.
