Songfestival singer Claude was a hat shocked in the Eva Jinek talk show. She surprised him with a performance by Conchita Wurst, who suddenly stood behind him.
After years and years of having sent vulnerable birds to the Eurovision Songfestival – from Duncan Laurence to S10 and from Mia & Dion to Joost Klein – Avrotros finally selected a fun letter this year: singer Claude Kiambe, better known as Claud. He will sing the song C’est La Vie on the European stage in May.
Completely crazy
Claude played the song last night in a one -off PrimetimeSpecial by Eva Jinek, which was already recorded last Thursday. The one -hour show was meant to introduce Claude to the general public: his big friends Suzan & Freek sat at the table, we saw his family and he was pretty surprised.
Hostess Eva: “We are going to 2014. You have been living with your family for a year in an asylum seekers’ center in Alkmaar. It is May, you are sitting on the couch with your family, all together and you will see the Songfestival for the first time in your life. You look at it and you are completely blown away by what you see. What was it that it was completely crazy then? “
Love Conchita
Claude can still remember that girl day in 2014. “I think you hint on the fact … That was my first time Songfestival and the first we tuned to was Conchita. That was the first thing we saw. It triggered me. We were watching: huh, what kind of festival is this? Where is this and what happens here? Who is she and what does she do? ”
“Everyone really enjoyed it and then someone and someone else came. It was all so different from each other, but it all brought people together, but Conchita was the first I have ever seen. ”
“She’s here”
Eva then completely scares Claude. She looks at him with a look as if Conchita has recorded a video message for him. “No, no, no, not. Not, “he responds.
Eva says: “Certainly. The winner of the Eurovision Song Contest of 2014 is here. ”
Claude shocked: “She’s here?!?!?!?! I thought a message! ”
Eva: “Especially for you! Conchita Wurst! ”
Conchita is already diagonally behind Claude to play her winning Songfestival song Rise Like a Phoenix, the song that Ilse DeLange and Waylon pushed to second place that year. “Great!”
