Claude’s appearance at Eva Jinek’s talk show table causes some unrest for TV authority Tina Nijkamp. She is a little concerned. “That that included the entire selection committee…”
Claude is going to the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of our country and his first interview as a Dutch entry was in the talk show last night Eva. He was sitting there at the table with the entire selection committee of the song festival. TV authority Tina Nijkamp was also in front of the TV and she wonders whether we are dealing with a false start here.
21 years
In recent years, Eurovision Song Contest leader Cornald Maas has sent the most delicate souls to the song festival and they have all returned crying. Are you okay now? Tina hopes so. She says RENZE: “I’m surprised it’s such a young person again. That was of course the problem.”
Claude is only 21 years old. “We have had many candidates with mental problems. I hope so, and I also found that in the conversation with Eva Jinek… When it came to 200 million viewers, you can still see him looking a bit like that. I hope that he will be guided very well and will have a whole team around him.”
200 million
We shouldn’t drive Claude crazy by constantly mentioning this number of viewers, says Tina. “I also think that the AvroTros, at least I hope so, doesn’t make it very big every time. From: 200 million people! And: well, it’s quite something! At the end of the day, it’s just a song festival, you know what I mean?”
Host Renze Klamer asks Tina if she finds his performance awkward at all. “Do you think he shouldn’t have sat with Eva, for example?”
“Leave that boy!”
Tina doesn’t think so, but: “Well, I really liked that he was with Eva and I really like him and I also really like his music, but that there was that entire selection committee… Then it becomes so big again, while I think: just let that boy land quietly.”
She continues: “He had only just told his mother! That’s what I thought too… It could perhaps also be a little smaller and then grow slowly.”
