Duncan Laurence needs to be addressed

Marc-Marie Huijbregts believes that not the Eurovision song contest couple Mia & Dion, who sing out of tune, but their mentor Duncan Laurence and his team should be ‘tackled’. “That whole mess!”

The falsely singing Eurovision couple Mia & Dion will be very nervous: after two false performances, they will give a performance in the talk show Khalid & Sophie tomorrow evening. Will their so-called mentor Duncan Laurence be there too? That’s just the question; he was previously too busy recording ‘fun’ TikTok videos.

Not a new Joan

Duncan is completely done with Marc-Marie Huijbregts. According to him, we should not create new Joan Frankas. “That is a very sad story. She was all alone and had a terrible manager. Really a terrible story,” says the comedian in his podcast “Marc-Marie and Jan are not afraid of anyone‘.

He continues: “But what we’re all on our way to right now is to really damage those Mia and Dion. I think they should stop doing that. We need to stop saying, “They can’t!” We shouldn’t do that. They are very vulnerable and there is a lot of pressure on them to go to the Eurovision Song Contest.”

“Tackle Duncan!”

Who should we aim our arrows at? “I think it’s very good that we’re tackling the people behind it. That Duncan Laurence is just so self-conscious. Then I think: act normal! He was not known at all when Ilse came with him. Then he was also starting.”

He continues: “And now he has won that and now everyone suddenly thinks that he can guide people, while he himself is going to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest! He is working on his new album. Do that, but don’t pretend you’re supervising people.”

Bad guidance

The guidance of Mia & Dion is just rubbish, Marc-Marie thinks. “Those people need more guidance, have to perform a lot more, should have performed a lot between November and now. In all kinds of programs. I hardly ever heard that song, because they were nowhere. I think the guidance is really super- super bad.”

He concludes: “That cannot be blamed on those people. We have to protect them, so that we don’t hear the same stories about them ten years from now as we hear about Joan Franka now. We have to protect them, but I think that whole mess around it needs to be tackled.”
