Chantal Janzen presents the Song Festival

It buzzed and people whispered, but no real name was mentioned. Until today, because now there are suddenly three (!) names that will present the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam. May I have a drumroll? They are Edsilia Rombley, Chantal Janzen, and Jan Smit.

Jan gets to work again this year, Edsilia can probably still remember how it was, but Chantal is new in Songfestival land. She initially denied being asked, as she called it an NPO party, but now it turns out that RTL fits in perfectly. On May 12, 14, and 16, the trio will present the Song Contest in Ahoy, which is being held in our country again after forty years. Thanks again, Duncan Laurence. Well, looking forward to it already.
