Frans Bauer is suddenly, without any reason, severely attacked by a journalist from Nieuwe Revu. He states that the folk singer has become fat and poseur. “Uncomfortable!”
If there is anyone who is widely embraced by the general public, it is Frans Bauer. He is loved by many people and non-fans also like him. Still opens New Revu now the hard attack on the folk singer. They state that Fijnaart’s most famous resident has changed a lot in recent years.
Timid French
According to Nieuwe Revu, a lot has changed about Frans. “If you look back at old YouTube videos of Frans Bauer from the period between 2003 and 2007, you will see a completely different artist than now.”
In the past, when he had a monster hit with Heb Je Even Voor Mij, according to the magazine, we were dealing with ‘a shy, modest singer who affectionately called himself ‘just Franske’. “With his arms close to his body and an almost timid appearance, he sang his songs quietly.”
Jumping wildly
Twenty years later, that picture has completely changed, according to Nieuwe Revu. “Frans now performs much more emphatically on stage: with his large body, jumping wildly, dancing, swaying and exciting the audience with robust arm movements and exaggerated enthusiasm. His considerable excess weight is also noticeable.”
He’s just a fat guy, says the magazine. “The quiet charm of the past has made way for a much more dominant presence. While the old Frans was moving because of his simplicity and modesty, according to critics, his current stage behavior sometimes looks a bit affected and uncomfortable, as if he has started to believe in himself a little too much.”
