So Guus

Guus quits The Voice of Holland. That's sad. If only because I have the tie pin must miss. And his sweet-voiced phrases. But let's be honest: Ali is the show binkie, Sanne is great and Waylon is a just-as-you-want-it variety artist with all the trimmings including a bevy of sluts and some party enhancers left and right. But if we really look at the track record, Guus obviously has the most hits on his record.

Guus is the only artist who really has the right to speak in that chair

Because how many of Waylon's songs can you sing along to? Two? Three? Max. Those may be glowing, but still it's not like he's a hit cannon. Like Guus. Jaha, don't flatten our Guus. That one went up in a straight line via ‘It's a Night’ via ‘By Track’. He wrote (and then sang it himself even more beautifully than Antonie Kamerling) ‘When I saw you’. When I hear ‘Brabant’, I have to cry, even though I'm from Utrecht. I bet you know all the lines of ‘Zo ver weg’? Or from ‘Shoulder to shoulder’? ‘Tears laughed’? Didn't get you back, did it? Another one then. ‘That's because of you’. And by Guus. The only artist in that chair who really, really, really has the right to speak. We're going to miss you.
