The musical team, abandoned by André Hazes Jr., is completely done with it. They make the switch to René le Blanc and yesterday in Shownieuws pretended that is something to be proud of.
André Hazes jr. has decided to stop with his folksy songs and do something more modern. He has exchanged the somewhat elderly musical team consisting of Bram Koning, Edwin van Hoevelaak and Marcel Fisser for the much younger Billy Dans and his mates. The pain point? André never informed the trio about this, but simply left.
Sorely disappointed
The way in which André made the switch is not really chic, but the way in which Bram Koning in particular tries to get his gram in every medium is even sadder. At one point he himself started to shout that he is suffering from heart problems because of André and that the singer would be unhappy with his new colleagues.
Bram, Edwin and Marcel sat in front of the camera yesterday Show news, where they complained one more time. Bram: “Then he is back in a restaurant. I think: it must be, he did that with us too, so he just continues in the same way. I am very disappointed. I thought I had a very special bond with him.”
Switch to Rene
The ultimate revenge of Bram, Edwin and Marcel? They switch to – cheers – René le Blanc. There is no better proof that André has made a good switch. “What are we going to make beautiful? We are going to make a sequel to If I Tell You, actually,” says Edwin. “With the touch of sound by Engelbert Humperdinck. And why not? It can still be heard.”
Well, why not? Money has to come in anyway. Then René le Blanc. Edwin: “No, we didn’t talk to André about that, no. It’s just a disappointment. I mean, in the end we are also friends of each other and friends of each other don’t treat each other this way. I am sorry it turned out this way.”
Finally, Bram: “No app, no call, nothing at all! But yeah, okay, I’m done with it.”
Spicy transition
Tooske Ragas says after the item what every viewer really thinks: “Can I say that I think the transition from one artist to another is quite a big one?”
Private boss Evert Santegoeds apparently has ties to the writing team, because curiously enough, they pretend that René is a top catch. “Yes, from André to René le Blanc, but make no mistake: René le Blanc has really put himself on the map, you know. (…) He really has hit potential.”
Hit potential?
Hit potential? Well, apparently in Evert’s circles, because according to many, René’s mediocre songs are like that ring that they are unheard of.
When someone points out that the musical trio has also worked for folk singers such as Jeroen van der Boom and Wolter Kroes, Frits Huffnagel concludes: “Surely that is what Tooske means: that is a slightly higher level than René le Blanc. ”
