Early life

Lopes was born in Brazil and adopted by his German stepfather. During the show, he dated fellow contestant Juliette Schoppmann. They have since broken up.
Lopes was eliminated on 11 January 2003, and ended 7th on the show. After his elimination, he was signed to a label. His album For You was released in February 2003, while the competition was still going on. Because of this, he was apparently dropped from the tour.

He has released two other singles including "Last Christmas/I Used To Cry" and "Change The World".
