Competing against 16-year-old Babou and 32-year-old Annelouise, it was 15-year-old Sarah that won the most votes in the Danish edition of the talent show, walking away with a record deal that’s worth one million Danish crowns (ca. 123,000 euros).
The three finalists opened the show together with reunited boy band Take That, after which Sarah took the stage first with her rendition of Lady Gaga’s Poker Face.
Later on in the show, Sarah shared the stage with her idols Carpark North, a Danish electronic rock band. She also performed a song in Danish, which eventually set her apart from runner-up Annelouise by a mere 2,086 votes.
After winning the show, Sarah rushed into the stadium to be congratulated by her family, friends, and girlfriend Frederikke.

Surprised by her own victory (“I did not fucking see that coming!”), Sarah never expected to make it through all the live shows. Her proud girlfriend commented: “She’s just herself all the way through and people love that.”
Congratulations to Sarah, who will hopefully have a wonderful career ahead of her! Seeing how this young lady already has four years of musical experience in her pocket, combined with her varied interests (ranging from Elvis Presley to musicals), we’re probably going to hear a lot more from this young talent.
