Recommended German-language singers similar to French language singers

Which German language singers would you recommend for those of us like French singers such as Carla Bruni and Madeleine Peyroux. I tried Ute Lemper but she seemed a tad on the heavy and intense side. Definitely looking for that cool, jazzy feel.
The phrase "cool, jazzy feel" makes me think of Roger Cicero, who was Germany's entrant to Eurosong 2007. Didn't win, unfortunately, though his song 'Frauen Regier'n die Welt' - women rule the world - is five degrees of awesome. And not just because I'm a feminist, I swear.

Max Raabe und das Palastorchester. Weimar-era jazz stylings, seamlessly recreated.

Response by poster: I enjoyed Lisa Wahlandt very much. My "Radiohead-fan" teenage son said she sounded just like all the others which wasn't mean as a compliment, but I took it as one:-). My adult- daughter said she sounded like elevator music, but I thought that harsh! Anyway, some great suggestions, so thank you all who responded. Actually the music-map.com site is an interesting concept, although when I saw Jimmi Hendricks within the 'orbit' of Carla Bruni, I wondered if I had missed something about her music :-)
