Tineke de Nooij does not understand why RTL 4 chose to have Willie Wartaal take a seat as a coach in one of the chairs of The Voice of Holland. “No added value.”
The Voice of Holland coach Willie Wartaal arranged an invitation for Today Inside during podcast recordings with Wilfred Genee. The rapper is on the show tonight. The big question is: will he hit back at Tineke de Nooij? The former radio maker is in the spotlight this week Weekend looking quite hard for Ali B’s successor.
Weakness
Tineke, like her media son Gordon, is not enthusiastic about Willie. “I don’t understand that either, because rappers are not singers. They are commercial guys. It’s as if they thought: we should also have a rapper in the program.”
She thinks it is an incredible weakness on RTL’s part. “As far as I’m concerned, there’s no added value in that. But yes, that’s what a very old person says. There is a category of music that I skip these days.”
Wavelength
Does she like Suzan & Freek? No, Tineke thinks he’s too good. “If you take Suzan and Freek, you already know which wavelength you are on. I have never played anything by Suzan and Freek. They appeal more to a younger audience.”
Finally: does she agree with the massive criticism of presenter Edson da Graça? “Edson must also find his place, come on! I don’t think that makes sense, everyone should just wait with their opinions. Edson must first be given a good chance. It is not easy to replace someone, because you are always compared, no matter what.”
