Helene is pronounced with an identical "e" sound, like at the start. This weird shift were any vowel can become every other vowel is an English thing. So think of it as He-leh-neh. And yes, she does nicely with this song. Now listen to Sohyang's version. ^.^
Regarding her name, it's not Heleen, "e"s at the end of a word aren't silent in German. Instead of trying to explain how to pronounce it, the best is if you just use the German Google translate and let it pronounce Helene. It's definitely accurate, I just tested that. Same for the end of Fischer, but Google will do that as well. This was from her own tour from 2011. At that point she was on her way to become Germany's currently most successful singer already, but in 2013 she flew to the top and from 2013 to 2015 she was so much bigger than any other artist in Germany. She is still among the biggest artists in Germany, maybe even still the biggest, but it's not as crazy as it was a decade ago. Her 2013 album is not the most sold album in German charts, but the highest certified with 13x platinum. With her Best of from 2010, which had some updated re-releases though, it's the only album released in the last 20 years that sold over 2 million copies in Germany. I have no real source, but I am very sure that since her debut album in 2006 she has sold more albums in Germany than any other artist in the world.
Helene Fischer is very popular in Germany. She already sold more than 18 million albums ! One of her most popular songs is Atemlos (breathless). ua-cam.com/video/sY_iWMp-JBE/v-deo.html For an open air concert in Munich in 2022 120,000 of 130,000 tickets were sold within 24 hours.

A very popular and beautiful Irish song that has been covered many times by numerous artists. 🇮🇪

She did an amazing duet with Tom Jones singing Sex Bomb, beautiful voice.
