René Froger, together with rapper Baas B, covered Maggie MacNeal classic Amsterdam and they were allowed to hear that yesterday at Hélène Hendriks. The reactions say enough. “Dredging!”
His duet with Baas B should be a breeze for René Froger, because the singer only has to thump the chorus and the rapper always comes with his rhyme in between. But they could have started the band better at René’s piece when they performed at the comeback of Hélène Hendriks last night The Oranjezomer.
Disastrous
René really didn’t sing well; His voice did not sound full at all, he sang with a very crazy intonation and he looked at it as if he had a lot of pain. Nice that empathetic look, but the performance really sounded like the sound check had been skipped. The reactions of viewers are inexorable; On X they let them know how poor it was like.
Sebastiaan: “Tenency.”
Mister Bobo: “Rampally bad.”
And René: “What a dredger …”
Stroke
Rocky especially did not understand the beeped look and the movements of René. “What is the René Froger being retarded. I thought he got a stroke.”
Bart thinks the singer has had his longest time. “It’s not to hear and what a strange accent puts on that Froger. Just don’t do it anymore, René.”
And Nuilerd: “René Froger shows that he can no longer sing a note. My God was that bad.”
Gordon
Some viewers miss Thomas van Groningen as presenter of the Oranjezomer now that Hélène is back. Thomas turned out to be quite skilled in making high -profile TV, where it should be fun at Hélène. She had René at the table yesterday, but left Natasja Froger’s rare woering burst completely undisputed.
Natasja went all the way out of her plate on Gordon last week at the same talk show table. “You know that everything is being discussed here, René, so just grab that saga from Gordon?”, Hélène tries.
René is silent
René would rather not say anything about it. “Next!”
Hélène: “Do you ever think about him?”
René: “To Gordon? No, I never think of him. No, no. I never think about it.”
Hélène: “It is not what he is saying what he is saying?”
René: “No, not anymore.”
Hélène: “Oh, that’s nice, I think that gives a lot of peace.”
René: “Yes, right? That makes life a lot easier.”
And no letter about Natasja’s rare explosion. Thomas had tackled that differently …
