After the surprising victory, Krenz first sat down on the studio floor and shook his head in disbelief. “My heart is racing, I still have a bad pulse. I’m shaking so much inside and can’t believe it,” he said shortly afterwards.

In the three and a half hour 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”).
Oerding won the show on its first season. “I’m coming here as the newcomer and I’m right on top of the podium. That is of course a nice feeling and also a confirmation that I have made the right decision at one point or another,” said the Hamburg musician of the German press agency .
