Andreas Kümmert walked onto the stage at The Voice of Germany in 2013. He looked shy and quiet. His clothes were simple, and his hair fell over his face. No one in the audience expected much from him.
Then he opened his mouth. He began singing Elton John’s classic “Rocket Man.” Within seconds, his deep, soulful voice filled the entire room. The coaches froze in their chairs, stunned by what they heard.
One by one, all four coaches turned around. Samu Haber, Max Herre, Nena, and The BossHoss could not believe the power coming from this humble young man. The audience rose to its feet in amazement.
Andreas had a difficult choice to make. Four incredible coaches wanted him on their team. In the end, he chose to join Team Max Herre, trusting him to guide his journey on the show.
That trust paid off. Andreas went on to win the entire season with massive public support. Today, his audition video still draws tens of millions of views, and fans around the world call it one of the greatest moments in The Voice history.
