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 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 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.

This is the evening dedicated to Zoë Livay—the group’s youngest singer—who broke through with the song ‘Ik zing’ and impresses audiences with candid songs about her personal life. Yves Berendse performs ‘Patronen’, a song in which Zoë sings about the complex relationship with her mother. Jeangu Macrooy performs ‘Iemand anders’, a song about pretending to be someone else in order to gain acceptance—an experience both he and Zoë have shared in the past. Clouseau closes the show with a festive rendition of ‘Ik zing’, featuring Koen showing off his best Mick Jagger moves.

Desray is the featured guest. As the frontwoman of 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor, she got an entire generation dancing in the 90s. Zoë Livay reimagines the global hit ‘Never Alone’ as ‘Nooit meer alleen’. Yves Berendse transforms ‘My House’ into the ultimate pub anthem ‘Kom vanavond naar mij toe’, while Fay Claassen delivers a magnificent, captivating rendition of Desray’s solo track ‘You Can Be Loved’. The performance features both well-known hits by 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor and her solo material.

The musical spotlight is on Jeangu Macrooy. The soulful singer-songwriter swapped Paramaribo for the Netherlands and weaves themes of love, identity, and personal growth into his music. Yves Berendse transforms ‘Alive’ a song Jeangu co wrote with his twin brother into the Dutch-language track ‘Dat ik leef’. Desray performs ‘Grow’, the personal song with which Jeangu was set to compete in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. Clouseau turns his breakthrough hit ‘High On You’ into the Dutch adaptation ‘Thuis bij jou’.

Jazz singer Fay Claassen joins Jan. With four Edison Awards and an international career to her name, she ranks among the great Dutch jazz voices. Zoë Livay performs ‘Is dit alles’ by Doe Maar one of the Dutch songs Fay has reimagined in a jazz style. Yves Berendse sings ‘Momenten’, a song about the special bond with her father, whom Fay cared for for ten years while he suffered from Alzheimer’s. Desray performs ‘Feel the Beat’, Fay’s first entirely original composition; the song is about finding your own rhythm and having the courage to pursue your dreams.

True to tradition, the season concludes with the duet night. The artists choose their own duet partners and a song they have always wanted to sing. Zoë Livay and Yves Berendse transform ‘Die With a Smile’ into the popular sing-along hit ‘De pijp uit met een lach’. Fay Claassen and Bizzey share their love for Stevie Wonder with ‘Master Blaster’. Desray and Clouseau provide a festive season finale with ‘Go Your Own Way’.
