- Undoubtedly. Although he mostly sings in Dutch and German. Ymnes (talk) 13:10, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
He presented Eurovision 2021 and spoke fluently English. Rversteeg (talk) 10:40, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
Computer
editThis English article sounds as though it has been translated by a computer. It needs a great deal of work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.53.170 (talk) 09:39, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
I am a native Dutch speaker and have fixed the language issues. It indeed was just directly translated from Dutch to English, which often doesn’t make sense Rversteeg (talk) 10:41, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
Klubb3/Toppers section
editI was only passing by this wiki article because of the Songfestival, but reading through this section is made ridiculously difficult because of the woeful butchering of the English language. It seems to be a word to word translation from Dutch to English. I would try to correct the spelling and grammar, however i think someone with a bit more knowledge about the subject matter should try this: The language is so confusing that i have no idea how anything relates to anything else, though i suspect that some specific tidbits of information can safely be cut. I presume it was written by an overly enthusiastic Dutch fan?
I am a native a Dutch speaker and have fixed the language translation issue. I hope it reads better now. Rversteeg (talk) 10:42, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
