Gracia Arabella Baur, known mononymously as Gracia, is a German singer. She came to the public's attention when she auditioned for the German syndication of Popstars in 2000 but was eliminated in the first round when she forgot her lyrics. A couple of years later, she took part in Deutschland sucht den Superstar and finished in 5th place overall.
In 2005, she was selected to represent her home country at the Contest in Kiev but finished in last place with 4 points. Prior to the Contest, her entry generated controversy when it was revealed that producer David Brandes had bought thousands of his own CDs in order to ensure chart success. In contrast to the band Vanilla Ninja, Gracia continued her association with Brandes but has had very little chart success post-Contest.
