Songfestival.be had een interview met VRT-Songfestivalcommentator Peter Van de Veire. Noodgedwongen vanop afstand, want terwijl onze site goed vertegenwoordigd is in Wenen, doet Van de Veire dit jaar zijn commentaar vanuit Brussel.<\/p>\n

In het interview praat hij openlijk over hoe verschillend het is ter plaatse versus vanop afstand te becommentari\u00ebren, maar ook over de soms moeilijke balans<\/strong> tussen informeren, bekritiseren maar ook entertainen voor de kijkers thuis.<\/p>\n

De commentator is niet mals voor de koepelorganisatie EBU, die volgens hem ‘sukkelt’ en ‘verder strompelt’. Hij stelt dat er ‘ergens een lobby<\/strong> bezig is die ervoor zorgt dat sommige beslissingen niet worden genomen’.<\/p>\n

ESSYLA wenst hij zaterdagavond ‘een plek in de linkerkolom van het scorebord’ toe. Finland en Frankrijk<\/strong> beschouwt hij als grootste kanshebbers voor de overwinning, met Griekenland als outsider.<\/p>\n

De grote vraag is ook of VRT volgend jaar zal deelnemen aan het Songfestival, gezien de hele controverse rond Isra\u00ebl. Daarover moet Van de Veire vooralsnog diplomatisch op de vlakte<\/strong> blijven: ‘Het is nog veel te vroeg om daar iets over te zeggen’, klinkt het. De eindbeslissing ligt bij Frederik Delaplace, CEO van VRT.<\/p>\n
