Claudia Emmanuela Santoso Blew Everyone Away On ‘The Voice Of Germany’

The second Claudia began singing it was clear to the judges that they were in the presence of greatness. She nailed every single note which led coaches Rea Garvey, Sido, Alice Merton and Mark Forster all to turn their chairs. They all were brought to their feet and had their jaws on the floor in disbelief at Claudia’s vocal talent. Rea ran up to the stage to give Claudia a hug after the performance as she looked completely shocked.

The audience called for an encore, so Claudia began to sing the song once more. This time, all of the coaches got to watch and the second time was even better than the first. Alice shed a few tears. The coaches were all fighting to have Claudia join their teams. She ultimately made the difficult choice to be on Alice’s team. Her audition became one of the most viral auditions ever on The Voice of Germany and established her as the one to beat in the competition.

After receiving nearly half of the votes between the final five competitors, Claudia was declared the winner of The Voice of Germany. She was the first-ever Asian winner of the show.
