Karsu blows everyone away with the iconic song, which is about the desire of a singer who goes to Los Angeles to make it, but encounters all kinds of obstacles and eventually goes home again. “We have a very special profession and have worked hard for it, but a lot of people don’t succeed either,” says the singer.
It’s not the first time Karsu has managed to get all eyes on her. Week after week, the singer brings the most diverse songs. Presenter Jan Smit does not compare her with a chameleon for nothing. Alides must be thinking about something – or rather someone – else: “It’s just fucking Amy Winehouse!”

Normally the artists go to Ibiza, but this year the recordings took place at a farm in South Limburg. With Jan Smit as host, the singers show and especially hear what they have in terms of musical qualities and beautiful stories arise on the couch. In the well-known cozy living room atmosphere of the program, the singers sing, listen and watch each other’s beautiful and often moving performances.

Many artists from previous seasons of the program got their big break thanks to Dear Singers. The most famous example is probably singer Davina Michelle, who scored a big hit with her cover of Glen Faria’s ‘Takes too long’. Glennis Grace, André Hazes Jr., Tino Martin and Emma Heesters were also widely known for the program.
Dear Singers see you every Thursday evening at 8.35 pm at NPO1. Belle Perez was already put in the spotlight last week.
