Samuel Welten refuses to speak to the media after the statements that René Froger has made about him. “He has been a bit difficult in the last few weeks,” says Bart Ettekoven in Shownieuws.
The statements that René Froger made at the table at the Oranjezomer were received in the artist trade with mixed feelings. According to the supreme topper, newcomers-he referred to Samuel Welten-should not immediately ask 10,000 euros per half hour, but first build their name and goodwill modestly.
“He’s hard”
Samuel has been avoiding the press since then, says show connoisseur Bart Ettekoven in Shownieuws. “He has been a bit difficult in the last few weeks. We were on Zandvoort yesterday and then he is already completely protected. Not only for us, but for all the press. Then everyone stands around it.”
“The management does very importantly:” No, no, no, he doesn’t talk to the press tonight. ” Today it was the same, while very open, spontaneous and happy we were still sitting at the table.
Iron forge
Patty Brard finds those statements from René nonsense anyway. “You can also think: listen, I have to forge the iron when it’s hot, I’m Samuel Welten, but who am I in three months? You’re as good as your last hit. What I think is crazy is that a management would say something like that:” You shouldn’t talk to the press anymore. “
Studiogast Rob Jansen, who from tomorrow talks a daily game on SBS 6, on that: “But do we know or do you think so?”
Assumption
Patty indicates that she is not sure. “That is an assumption, but I think: just sit down and say what you think of it. That boy gets 20k every half hour. I also think it is a bit childish from René, because if you can grab it, you have to grab it, because that boy doesn’t know how long this takes.”
Bart: “I hope he just gives a quick answer to questions, because this is a bit strange.”
Tooske Ragas: “It smells a bit like: we want to keep him exclusive and he doesn’t have to talk too much, that you think: that doesn’t bother that anymore. Take the 20k, sing well!”
To sort
Rob finds the journalistic content of Shownieuws too low. “It is good to find out what is really going on, because this is of course speculation, but good, that is of course also this program. This is not the most journalistic program in the Netherlands.”
Finally, Bart: “No, you’re going to present that on Monday, right?”
