“The super talent” of 2024 has been found: Alexander Doghmani from Saxony, just 17 years old, won.
He is 17 years old and has thrilled the audience with his opera singing: Alexander Doghmani (17) won the RTL show “Das Supertalent” in 2024. The season 16 finale was recorded in December and will now air on Saturday evening (February 17). The TV audience voted for the winner. Doghmani can look forward to the title and prize money of 50,000 euros.
Triumph with a Puccini aria
In the final, the 17-year-old appeared shy. “I’m a bit tense before the final. Hopefully that will go away on stage.” His fears were unfounded: he sang Giacomo Puccini’s aria “O mio babbino caro” confidently – and thus secured victory. Juror Dieter Bohlen (70) already suspected this: “That was just great, great and I would be surprised if you didn’t tear this thing off today!” Alexander Doghmani prevailed against the dance group “Black Widow” (2nd place) and the “Ramadhani Brothers” (3rd place). In contrast to previous seasons, this time it was not the television viewers who voted, but the viewers in the studio. Even after the victory, the 17-year-old remained surprisingly calm and didn’t seem to fully realize his triumph.
He took classical singing lessons
As RTL writes in a press release, this year’s super talent was born in Altenberg, Saxony, and lives with his family in the Erzgebirge. The family runs a small hotel there. Doghmani discovered his passion for classical singing early on and his mother enrolled him in singing lessons. However, he has so far shied away from the big stage: before the “super talent” he only performed in front of the hotel’s regular guests.
2.13 million viewers at the finale
The jury for the 16th season consisted of Dieter Bohlen (70), choreographer Bruce Darnell (66), “Let’s Dance” winner Anna Ermakova (23) and “Let’s Dance” dancer Ekaterina Leonova (36). The show was moderated by Victoria Swarovski (30) and Jens “Knossi” Knossalla (37). The season was shorter than usual and only consisted of four episodes. The final was watched by 2.13 million viewers.
