Nico Santos’ On-Air Rap at the Piano Wins 18-Year-Old on ‘The Voice of Germany

Smudo called the impromptu bit the funniest gag in the show's history, drawing laughter across the panel.

Overview

  • During the Oct. 9 Blind Auditions, Santos performed explicit lines from Ali Bumaye and Shindy’s “Sex ohne Grund” after taking a seat at the piano.
  • Luciana da Silva Alves, 18, chose Team Nico following her cover of Mary J. Blige’s “No More Drama.”
  • Shirin David prompted the throwback by noting Santos had recorded hooks for German rappers, which initially embarrassed him.
  • Santos joked that Luciana’s parents would not have understood the German lyrics, and the coaches reacted with surprise and laughter.
  • Season 15 continues on ProSieben and Joyn during the Blind Auditions, with one outlet also reporting Santos used his single-use Joker coin in a talent fight.
