The Voice

The naklets (week 6)

I was once again in a restaurant, but thanks to the magical link from Talpa, I was able to watch The Voice in the afternoon in the category of privileged people. Yes, you can only be happy about that. Moreover, it was already so late that I ended up sitting behind my desk with a glass of wine. Typing. This.

Let's start with Milou-woehoewoehoe who has the guts to choose a song by Anouk. And imitates Anouk. Girl, girl, girl, I'll tell you the list of the prohibitions of The Voice one more time. 1. Don't imitate anyone. 2. Don't do a musical. 3. And definitely no Kensington. But wait. Forget that. They are turning. All of them.

Ah, the jury is going to bash Ilse for a bit. Anouk asks who wrote ‘that song’ (her song, of course). Ali replies: ‘Ilse DeLange.’ Laughter. I find it silly. In previous seasons, they were all cozy side by side with Ilse and now this. Just because you are a bit afraid of Anouk. Tsss.

We are served a little gospel block. Gideon from Rotterdam has auditioned once before. He prayed to God to help him through the auditions. Gideon. Be ashamed, man. As if God has no better things on His mind. This time, God will make sure all the chairs turn. His words, huh. His words.

Note for John. What I find strange is this: if no one turns for a person, that person receives no feedback. But if two jury members turn and two do not, everyone will give feedback anyway. Unless it's particularly exciting or funny, I don't need to hear that. I don't care why the coach in question doesn't find the auditionee good enough.

Note for John II. If you do that, the program will immediately be a bit shorter. Because the last 25 minutes, as fun as they are, I still find a bit of a sit. It's just too long. Sorry. You undoubtedly have a hundred good reasons for it and what do you care, but I think so. And I'm not the only one. Anyway.

By the way, Gideon chooses Anouk. Pray that it goes well between those two.

That's a really good one from Wendy. If someone sings really badly, you just say: ‘Look at her standing there!’ That's the same as saying about an unattractive baby: ‘That's really Dutch prosperity.’

There is Berenice who ‘has always been musical.’ Since she was four. Just so you know. Do you also get a bit of the jitters when someone is really good, no one turns, and that really good person then freaks out to show that they can really do something? Feels like a boy who shows up with roses every day for a girl who totally doesn't want him. But Waylon turns. That's nice. Even if it's just for whistling father Thijs (from Leer) in the monkey cage.

Tessa sings and Waylon throws himself into the fray. Whether he can kiss her. And that if he had them, he would throw panties and underwear (that's the same to me), but he doesn't wear them. A case of too much information for Sanne. And for me. What's brewing in those pants. Anyway. Waylon gets chosen and Sanne would have slapped him hard if she had been Tessa. That's fine by Waylon. Sanne then. But Sanne has traffic. For five and a half years. And Waylon has a beard this year. So. Wèp wèp wèèèp.

Note for John III. I would still try to push the auditions a bit further back. It's all a bit too summery for me by now. Nitpicker. But that's me. And you too, John. You too.

Now I'm touched again. By Joy the teenage mother and by Amber with her sweet sister with Down syndrome. You know what I find the best? That there is no further discussion about it. That it's also normal.

Can someone give Anouk a gin and tonic? I understand Bonnie.

So sad that Amber doesn't go through. And look how her sister comforts her. That's her sunshine, believe me. And participate again next year with another song, I would say.

Miss from Martijn? This boy is living a happy life. I think you mean: he leads a happy life. But maybe it's a ‘funny joke’.

If you are already a masochist to participate in The Voice, what are you if you participate for the second time? I say a hero, because Nikita is through.

By the way, did you see Bram who was surprised by Jamai in the audience at The Lion King? He received his big ‘check’ stating that he was through to the blind auditions. But why always that little bouquet? With such a sad paper? Just do something nice. Or nothing. Men don't like flowers. They have been in the way of the whole performance of The Lion King and he forgot it later. Bet?

Anyway guys, that was it again. I laughed and was touched, but in all my immodest honesty, I don't feel like there was a new Moon among them today. But that aside. The fun remains enormous.
