This is the winner of Stars On Stage: 'I could do this every night'


Emma Kok (17), Janice Blok (33), and Numidia (25) pulled out all the stops one last time in the final of 'Stars On Stage' to win the coveted title. Under the critical but admiring eye of critics Paul de Leeuw (63), Albert Verlinde (64), and guest critic Chantal Janzen (46), the ladies gave a resounding show, but of course, there could only be one winner.
Who could have imagined this eight episodes ago?
The evening kicked off with a round where the finalists were asked to reprise a previously sung song, giving them the opportunity to incorporate feedback. Numidia kicked things off with a powerful rendition of "This Is Me" from The Greatest Showman . "I could do this every night, I can feel it!" Numidia proudly exclaimed afterward.
Janice revisited Something's Got a Hold on Me from Burlesque . Albert preferred it a bit spicier the first time, but this time he was more than satisfied. "For me, it was a complete success," he said. Paul, on the other hand, found the performance a bit too tame. Janice herself, however, was in good spirits: "I was afraid my tits would fly out, but I still had a good time."
Emma had the opportunity to reprise "Populair" from the musical Wicked . What made it even more exciting was that Chantal, who herself performed in the musical, was there. "You did a truly outstanding job," Chantal said. "You should be incredibly proud of yourself." Emma herself said she was thrilled this song was chosen for her. "I was completely in my element again."
In the second round, Numidia received a standing ovation for And I Am Telling You from Dreamgirls, no one noticed the small mistake in It's Over from the musical Heerlijk duur het langst by Janice and a dream came true for Emma when she was allowed to do Defying Gravity from Wicked .
"Who would have thought this eight episodes ago? You're all winners, no doubt about it," Albert tells the women before the results are announced. The critics' star ratings put Numidia in the lead, followed by Emma and Janice. But the audience also had a few more stars to give out.
Janice ultimately finished in third place. The battle between Emma and Numidia remained exciting for a while. Numidia needed four stars to overtake Emma. "I keep hearing in my ear that she needs to go to the bathroom," Janice laughed as she looked at her Numidia. As soon as Numidia's stars came into view, it was clear. With a total of 29 stars, she is the winner of Stars On Stage . "Oh my god," she exclaimed loudly.
