Jacqueline Govaert is out at the Songfestival and the reason given is a bit suspicious: she would not have time for it. While she already knew the date a year in advance!
Now that Jan Smit has left as a commentator of the Eurovision Songfestival, there is something hassle in the commentary. Cornald Maas stays firmly in his chair, but such a sour person does not fit in with an oyistic song festival. At least you have to put someone wrong who can put things into perspective.
Japanese restaurant
The AVROTROS thought it would be good last year to put Jacqueline Govaert next to that man, but that was nothing at all. He barely said something and worse: he didn’t take it seriously at all. During the rehearsals she just went out to eat with her whole family in Malmö. In a Japanese restaurant.
It was spoken of at the time: you are expected to immerse yourself in the Eurovision festival for a few days to make expert comments, but if you can view the performances and you will eat nice sushi with your children a few kilometers away , of course you don’t really take it seriously.
Remarkable
Private boss Evert Santegoeds would not surprise anything if that dinner eventually cost her the head. “I was not very impressed last year. I also said here that I thought it was very strange that she was going to eat with her family in Stockholm when the Dutch participation was rehearsing, “he says in Shownieuws.
“Then the whole of the Netherlands fell over me,” because of course she had to eat with her family in Stockholm “(draws face of incomprehension, ed.). Anyway. “
“It’s you high”
Colleague Justine Marcella laughs at it. “Hahaha. It’s still high, isn’t it? ”
Tooske Ragas: “Hahahaha.”
Evert: “I thought it was so weird. Mama has a job in Stockholm and the whole family goes immediately! Concentrate on the hell, because that much did not come out in that box. “
Justine: “Maybe she was no longer allowed to take her family with Avrotros and she thought: then not! Or with my family, or not! ”
Cornald only
Cornald is now left alone. “Everything stops at the NPO, it seems, except Cornald Maas. How many years is he not there? “, Says Evert.
And RTL Boulevard reporter Aran Bade on X: “No more Jacqueline Govaert, but Cornald Maas will only do the Songfestival commentary. It is a pity that Sander Lantinga does not return. Now there is talk about a side -by -remotely remote. “
