She was the first – but HE had the song joker.
A spontaneous appearance by Johannes Oerding (39) caused great emotions on “The Voice of Germany” on Sunday evening. Without the expertise of jury colleague Sarah Connor (41), however, it might not have come to this …
The reason for the unplanned jump to the piano was the Kenyan Alisha (34). She has only been living in Germany for eight months, but is no stranger to her home country. There she already appeared with many stars, but then moved to Berlin for love. She chose a classic for her appearance at the Blind Auditions: “Wicked Game” by Chris Isaak (65).

The buzzers remained unused for an astonishingly long time until Sarah Connor suddenly made a different decision shortly before the end. She buzzed, saw Alisha and could not hide her enthusiasm: “Wow!” With wide eyes, she prophesied to her jury colleagues in English: “You will regret it so much!”
A sentence that made the other jurors pound their buzzers at lightning speed. Shortly before the end of her performance, the candidate received the greatest “The Voice” recognition: a four-part buzzer. Alisha could hardly believe her luck: “I’m speechless, and that never happens!” Sarah Connor was amused by the blind trust of her male colleagues: “I told the boys: You will regret it. And all so boom, boom, boom! It’s so easy to see how the guys work! “
While Mark Forster (38) then pondered how you can speak German as well as Alisha after eight months, Johannes Oerding has long been indulging in his own musical memories. Because “Wicked Game” is a very special song for him too: “Thank you for the touching, magical performance. We have one thing in common. Because that’s also my absolute favorite song. I’ll play it for you now. I would be happy if you sit down here for a moment. “
The new Berliner didn’t have to be told twice and took a seat on Oerding’s jury chair. Now Sarah saw her up close for the first time and was entranced: “You are so beautiful” (Eng .: You are so beautiful “).

Oerding’s “Wicked Game” version was also “beautiful” – the other jury members saw their chances of winning Alisha for their team dwindling. Nico Santos (28) was flattened: “Mannometer. Dude, you really pulled out all the stops. “Even Sarah Connor received not only a compliment, but almost a declaration of love:” I have to admit, I would have a little crush on you now if you looked at me like that would have. “
An easy game for Oerding, who had previously complained about his unsuccessfulness. Alisha’s decision was made shortly afterwards: “Wow! I have to go with my gut feeling: Johannes. “
It would not have come to this without Sarah’s tip.
