Samuel Welten responds for the first time to René Froger’s hard sneer, and he does that live at the desk of Shownieuws. “I thought about it: cunt. I thought it was a shame of course.”
René Froger took care of controversy in the summer by getting out to Samuel Welten. The Supreme Topper did not mention the name of the singing talent, but everything showed that he was talking about him. René’s message? He is bothered that Samuel immediately engages 400 performances after one hit and immediately asks 10,000 euros per half hour.
Samuel responds
In this way, according to René, you do not build a career constructively. Samuel looks at that differently. “Of course I have done a lot of performances. I just think it’s the best thing to do and I have been a little more attention seeker all my life. I have told my team:” Plan everything full. We’re going for it, “he says in Shownieuws.
Erik de Zwart, who is also on the desk, then: “You ask far too much money according to René Froger.”
Samuel: “Yes, that’s right. He is absolutely right.”
‘I thought it was a shame’
Tooske Ragas wonders how Samuel looks at this. “Of course you heard this then. Did you think: he might be talking about me?”
Samuel: “Yes, well, a bit, yes.”
Tooske: “And what did you think then?”
Samuel: “I thought about it: cunt. I thought it was a shame of course, because René is a hero of mine. I also understand him a little bit.”
Luxury position
Erik thinks René faints. “He talks a bit from the luxury position of a career, he can ask what he wants and he has the toppers and such. You have just started and I think you are right in it, because let’s face it: if you are also hot at the moment, then you are really hot, and then the demand and offer, right?”
Tooske: “Have you doubted? Did you think: maybe I should tackle it differently?”
Samuel: “Yes, I always doubt a lot about myself, but my team arranges all financial things. I say:” I just want to sing and you can arrange the rest. “
4 million euros
If Samuel does 400 performances per year for 10,000 euros, you will come to a turnover of 4 million euros. Based on one hit. Story boss Guido den attracter: “Check everything well, isn’t it?”
Samuel: “Yes, that anyway. Do you know what is like that? You may think: 10,000 euros times 400, only: before I broke through, I already had many old performances.”
Erik: “And you still had to do that for the old price?”
Samuel: “Yes, for sure, and I do that neatly. Occasionally I sometimes sing for 200 euros in the pub. But that also keeps you on the floor again. It is really the best thing there is.”
