Angela de Jong is annoyed to death by the new accent with which Duncan Laurence speaks. She simply cannot listen to the chatter of the Eurovision lad. “Positive stuff!”
Duncan Laurence proves that you only need one success to fully shoot into the diva role. He walks around these days as if he were God’s gift to mankind. Well, not to Mia & Dion anyway. Those poor people have been completely thrown into the deep end by their tiktoking mentor Duncan.
New accent
Only now that there is something to experience for him again – the Eurovision circus has started in Liverpool – is Duncan fully back. But do we actually still want to see him, and above all: hear him? At least not Angela de Jong. He thinks that the singer is on his way to the Regilio Tuur syndrome.
Duncan feels this way now international that this boy from Spijkenisse actually only wants to speak English. And if it really has to be in Dutch? Then with his new accent.
Angela bashes Duncan
Angela can’t take it, she admits in the AD Media podcast. “Every time I hear Duncan talk, I think: even Paul Verhoeven speaks better Dutch than Duncan, who has lived in America all his life. Affectionate stuff!”
She was also already annoyed by his performance at Khalid & Sophie. “That you just get away so easily at prime time at the NPO with some bullshit story. Real. Sophie tried it once or twice, but she didn’t go too hard either. Duncan was really someone you just had to question critically about guiding those young people.”
Cry, cry, cry
It is evident that Duncan was mainly concerned with himself, according to Angela. “It was all over again: cry, cry, cry, the media did it, they are so hard on us and oh, how pathetic we are. I actually wanted to say something rude. Go away. A variant of ‘go away’. They should have guided those children much, much better.”
By ‘those children’ does she mean Mia & Dion. Yes. “I keep saying it, because I always got the impression, even though they are almost 30, that they are really still very young, starting people. Duncan should have said, “We did that wrong. We should have stood in front of them. Point.’ And now it was again: ‘the media’.”
Duncan is especially busy with himself:
