Lenny Kuhr still on TV with ‘De troubadour’, but in repeat

A fight between the singer Lenny Kuhr and the broadcaster AVROTROS seems to have been resolved. The singer was angry with the broadcaster and producer because her performance was cut from a Great Eurovision Party TV recording.

AVROTROS and producer PilotStudio have now promised that Kuhr’s performance will be in the rerun of the telecast, he writes on Twitter. “In the week of the Eurovision Song Contest anyway. Thanks to everyone who supported me. Troubadour lives!”

The singer found out on Wednesday that her performance was cut from the telecast. The recordings took place last November at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. Kuhr performed the song Troubadour, with which he won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1969. To his own surprise, it had disappeared from the broadcast. She called it disrespectful that she wasn’t known in this decision, she said Brabant broadcasting.

AVROTROS told the ANP that choices must always be made when compiling a compilation. The decision to ax Kuhr was in part motivated by the fact that the singer “has already been featured on the concert recording for the last few years. And no artist is promised in advance that he will be seen on television.”
