Best Answer

A popular term for a female singer or vocalist- usually one who is also an actress, hence a blend word- Song- plus Stress. A classic example would be the late Judy Garland, who both recorded records and certainly was an actress, mainly, but not confined to, musical roles- a notable non-song performance was in the serious film- a war drama without gunplay or tanks- Judgement at Nuremberg. She played an anonymous victim of sterilization by the Nazis.

Where is Mireille Mathieu's next concert?

Unless I am horribly mistaken Mireille Mathieu is a french ACTRESS and not a singer. One seems to recall there may have been a French aviatrix or stunt-pilot with that name inthe teens or twenties. there was/is an Actress by that name, not to my knwoledge a songstress. I have never seen her name on the Internet before! The name roughly translates (Wonder Matthew) an odd name, Matthew here is a surname or last name, in English we would say the plural, Matthews.

CDHunter: You are mistaken. The Mireille Mathieu for which people are asking has been a noted French singer for the last 40+ years (1965 to present). She seldom performs concerts now, but does still perform. Her two last concerts were in Petersburg, Russia, and in Moscow in November 2008. Also, in 2008, she performed a concert each in 25 German cities during a 35 day period in March and April 2008. These concerts were performed with little advanced notice around the world, but were announced on her web site and in Germany. Currently, she is scheduled to perform a concert each in 22 German cities starting in Halle on April 14, 2010, and ending in Berlin in May 14, 2010. It is possible, but not a certainty, that she will have at least one Russian concert in 2009. Additionally, she is scheduled to release a new CD of songs in German in the Fall of 2009. I have read, but have not been able to confirm, that her French record company may release a CD of her 2005 concert at the Olympia in Paris in 2010. There is already a DVD of that concert on sale. As for the meaning of her name, a rough translation is "wonderful gift of God". Mireille roughly meaning "Wonderful or Marvellous", and Mathieu being the French form of "Matthiew" which in ancient Hebrew meant "Gift of Yehweh (God)".

( except when she pole danced on the teen choice awards! ) And she was in so many movies and t.v. shows! Her real name OS destiny hope Cyrus! Also good singer! So don't judge a book by it's cover!
