“One of the best battles we have seen in The Voice.” That’s what Koen Wauters says about the duet that Natalia put together. Responsible for this impressive performance: 18-year-old Reza Peeters from Diepenbeek and Ward Merckx (20) from Boortmeerbeek.

She made all the coaches turn during her blind audition. And her battle partner Ward Merckx was also speechless when he saw how Reza Peeters auditioned with No time to die by Billie Eilish. Coach Natalia dares to choose a spicy song on Friday in the battles of The Voice of Flanders. That is Unholy by Sam Smith and Kim Petras. “Really not easy and a daring song. That is also one that can be disappointing if it is not good enough. So it is very important that you throw yourselves into action,” Natalia addresses her pupils. The young Diepenbeek artist seems a little more panicky during rehearsals, but Natalia has confidence in the musicality of the two young artists.
In Koen Wauters’ team – which rehearses in C-mine – Bilzer’s Caroline Max (32) has to compete against Peter Steyaert from De Pinte, also a four-turner. “I thought Peter’s blind audition was very nice. It was actually just sung perfectly. That scares me a bit,” says Caroline, who herself turned three chairs with Whole lotta Rosie. No rock song this time for the animatrix but Habits by Luke Conard & Alyssa Poppin. “They are both going to take that song to their camp and then the question is whether it will make a difference if they have to sing together. Will those voices blend nicely, yes or no?” Koen wonders.

Although Sherina Evrard (31) and Merel Cappaert (40) do not immediately jump for joy when they hear that they have an extra competitor with Mette-Marie Maes, finalist of The voice kids and daughter of the Looise entrepreneur Yves Maes. to get. There is no shortage of enthusiasm for the 18-year-old jumper in the field: “I find it quite euphoric that they put me with the two moms.” The trio is presented with Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. “I really want to continue. When I’m on stage, I’m going to give it my all,” said the youngest.
