Beste Zangers – Season 19
Episodes
Clouseau
The brothers Kris and Koen Wauters of the Belgian hit sensation Clouseau take center stage. For over forty years, they have combined catchy pop with recognizable Dutch lyrics. Jeangu Macrooy gives their classic ‘Daar gaat ze’ a new twist, while Zoë Livay takes on ‘Passie’, Koen’s honest song about a love fading away. Hits, brotherly love, and stories from an impressive career come together.
Yves Berendse
Yves Berendse takes a seat on the couch. The singer from Zandvoort rose through the ranks of Amsterdam pubs to become one of the most popular interpreters of the modern Dutch folk song. Jeangu Macrooy gives mega-hit ‘Terug in de tijd’ his own unique twist, and Fay Claassen turns ‘Dicht bij mij’ into a big band smash. Clouseau also delves into his repertoire with ‘Voorgoed voorbij’, a song originally intended for André Hazes. In this way, the modern Dutch folk song takes on surprisingly new colors.
Bizzey
Bizzey shines brightly in the spotlight. Growing up above his parents' record store laid the foundation for his musical journey, which brought him worldwide success with Yellow Claw. Ultimately, he chose to follow his heart: spending more time with his family and building a solo career. Jeangu Macrooy delivers a compelling rendition of Kate Bush’s ‘This Woman’s Work’, a song that has taken on a deep emotional charge for Bizzey since the birth of his son. Zoë Livay gives an intimate twist to Yellow Claw’s global hit ‘Till It Hurts’ and transforms it into the personal ‘Dat ze van hem houdt’. Clouseau brings the whole thing to a festive close with the summery sing-along ‘Zin in de zomer man’, a perfect finale full of energy and joy.
