Tino Martin probably has no chance of representing the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest, says Privé boss Evert Sankrediets. “Cornald Maas does not want that.”
Dries Roelvink’s attempt to be entered with some bombastic song for the Eurovision Song Contest has failed miserably. Now he tips Tino Martin to participate. “I think that’s a great singer. He can also speak English well, he has a beautiful sound and I believe in him.”
Elite club
However, Evert Sankrediets tells in his podcast Strictly Private that Tino doesn’t have to count on that. “I think it’s very nice of Dries, because there are few colleagues who designate a direct competitor as the one who has to go to the Eurovision Song Contest. He does,” said the editor-in-chief of Privé.
Tino will never get through the selection committee, Evert thinks. “I see that one-two-three does not happen and that has mainly to do with the elitist club that determines every year who goes to the Eurovision Song Contest and that clearly come to very different choices than the normal AvroTros-we-sing-what -on-the-square genre. You never see that.”
Jeangu and S10
Isn’t it a good thing that all those unfortunate Muziekfeest op het Plein types are no longer selected? Evert has his doubts. “Duncan was a lucky grab, but the two after (Jeangu Macrooy and S10, ed.) were a lot less.”
Evert expects that they will go for those kinds of artists again. “I think you should start looking for it again in that atmosphere and that they don’t choose Tino Martin, because then they think they will end up in the Sieneke genre again, which especially a Cornald Maas will never have for a long time. still want to live. That’s too bad.”
Who should go according to Evert? “I have been tipping Alain Clark for years.”
