Samantha Steenwijk disagrees with Tina Nijkamp’s criticism from the ever -worse music party on the square. Too often the same artists in the same places are Tina. “No, it’s cult!”
According to Tina Nijkamp it has been beautiful with a music party on the square. According to the TV authority, the program is increasingly being viewed worse and that is due to increasing laziness. Jan Smit’s show sometimes lands for three episodes in the same place and then the same artists always come by.
Samantha disagree
According to Tina, one of those continuously recurring artists is the singer without hits Samantha Steenwijk. The TV authority thinks it is remarkable. According to her, there must be deals behind the scenes, but Avrotros denies it. The juice channels state that Jan Smit has a big finger in the porridge and, for example, sister Monique Boycot.
Samantha disagrees with Tina’s criticism. “The best thing is if you can record at six different locations, but of course it is such a circus that has to be moved everywhere and that costs a lot of money. I think it is a bit there. I think it doesn’t matter to people at home whether we are in Leeuwarden or Katwijk.”
“It’s Cult”
There should absolutely not be grumbled at music party on the square, Samantha continues Shownieuws. “It is almost a bit of cult. It belongs to the Netherlands and we have to be proud of that, so that is definitely still relevant. Absolutely.”
According to fellow artist Robert van Hemert, there are simply not enough artists in our country to constantly alternate. “Look, it also stops with the artists, I think. I feel almost really everyone there.”
‘I never stand’
Danny Froger complains that he is never asked as a new talent. “I never stand there, so if they call me now! Whatever they do every year is new talent, I think they are just stimulating that very well.”
Finally, Patserzanger Frans Duijts: “The whole of the Netherlands is still completely under the spell of the popular and music party on the square or the music party of the year are the events and things that we have to keep. As everyone knows, the budget has shrunk a bit and I think it should be different.”
