Angela de Jong Criticizes Suzan & Freek‘s “The Voice of Holland” role
Television critic Angela de Jong expressed disappointment and disapproval of Suzan & Freek’s decision to become duo coaches on the rebooted “The Voice of Holland.” “Why are you participating in this program?” she asked, according to reporting from Pauw & De Wit.
The talent show, plagued by controversy, returns to Dutch television tonight after a three-year hiatus. De Jong,known for her critical television reviews in AD,stated she has “absolutely no interest” in watching given the unresolved issues surrounding the previous scandal.
“Why Suzan?”
During a discussion on pauw & De Wit, Jan Slagter challenged de Jong’s strong stance, suggesting her criticism also extends to Suzan & Freek. He implied that by refusing to watch, she is questioning their involvement.
The return of “The Voice of Holland” follows allegations of misconduct and a subsequent inquiry that led to the show’s cancellation in 2022. Details of the investigation and resulting fallout can be found here (in Dutch).
(Note: As of January 16, 2026, the show has indeed returned to air, and Suzan & Freek are serving as duo coaches.)
