Suzan & Freek passed the recording period of The Voice of Holland with flying colors, but are currently unable to participate in the PR circus surrounding the comeback of the RTL 4 show. “Shame.”
It is customary for all those involved in a major TV show to be present during the press moment organized by the broadcasting party. However, Suzan & Freek were not present yesterday at the presentation of the new season of The Voice of Holland. A missed opportunity, according to Rob Goossens, the TV critic of RTL Boulevard.
Five sides
Presenter Luuk Ikink finds it striking. “Today was a press day and everyone could come and ask some questions. Suzan & Freek weren’t there, were they?” he notes. in the show section.
Rob then: “No, and that was also announced in advance, so no one was there who thought: I still have five pages of questions for Suzan & Freek. Let’s say: it is understandable that they were not there.”
Good reason
Why the two were not present? Freek is still ill and Suzan has just given birth. “Freek obviously has a very good reason for being absent and Suzan coincidentally gave birth to a child a month ago, which is a nice reason in itself indeed.”
But, Rob notes: “It is a shame at the same time, because the program is also about chemistry and rivalry between the coaches and 40 percent of the coaches involved in the program were not there.”
No point
Private boss Evert Santegoeds thinks that Suzan & Freek did not feel like asking questions about his illness. “Of course there is also something else going on and I don’t think they really felt like answering the entire press with questions about it, but it all went well during the entire recording period,” he says in Show news.
“A lot of consideration was given to what they could and couldn’t handle. The agendas were tailored to that and as soon as something arose, things were adjusted if necessary. Yes, it’s actually going quite well and that’s a good thing, because they will be in the Gelredome for weeks to come. Who could have thought all that?”
