"The Voice of Germany" and a metal singer? Does that go together?

Yes, at least if your name is Chris Chalmer and you've traveled from Burgenland. Normally the rehearsal room is in Breitenbrunn, but for "The Voice of Germany" the frontman of the partycore band "Stesy" flew to Berlin - and surprised not only the audience but also the coaches with his metal interpretation of the 90s hit "Boomerang".

What he didn't know was that Jasmin Wagner, alias Blümchen, was backstage and came on stage after the song to sing "Boomerang" again and congratulate Chris.

A fan moment you could only wish for. Chris was visibly moved and fought back tears: "I've got a bit of pippi in my eyes now," he confessed, whereupon he and Blümchen sang "Nur geträumt" together for good measure. By the way: Samu Haber and Mark Forster wanted the Burgenland metal singer in their team. Chris Chalmer's Danish roots then led him to Samu. It will be interesting to see what happens. Because Chris admitted that he couldn't really sing, only growl. Growing ballads? Why not! The battles start in mid-October.

Sarah Knöbl from Neudauberg also gave juror Mark Forster goosebumps. The 23-year-old also made it one round further with Ina Regen's "Wie a Kind" and thus into the "Battles".
