The Thuringian prevailed against his fellow campaigners with 36 percent of the vote. A world star announced for the final was canceled at short notice.
Sebastian Krenz from Thuringia has won the eleventh season of the television program “The Voice of Germany”. The 29-year-old founder of a health care company received 36 percent of the audience votes in the final of the ProSiebenSat.1 casting show.
The cuddly rocker convinced the whole season with his powerful and high voice, with which he covered rock ballads from the Scorpions and Bon Jovi, among other things. In the finale he sang the single “What They Call Life” with his coach Johannes Oerding and in a duet with the British singer James Arthur (33, “SOS”).
The other places in the live show from Berlin made it to the Hamburg-based musical actress Gugu Zulu (29) in the team of Nico Santos, Katarina Mihaljevic (21) from Pfungstadt in Hesse (team Sarah Connor), the Swiss Linda Elsener (20, team) Elif) and the couple Florian and Charlene Gallant from the Rhineland-Palatinate mother city (36 and 32, Team Mark Forster).
The world star Ed Sheeran (30), who was announced for the finals, had to cancel at short notice. There have been several corona cases in his team, it said. The Briton greeted by video message and sang his song “Merry Christmas” from home wearing a Christmas sweater.
