Season 4

This was the first season to be broadcast on RTL 4 (previous seasons were broadcast on SBS6) and therefore it had a different presenter and two new judging panel members. The presenter was Robert ten Brink, who replaced Gerard Joling from the previous years.[1] After it was announced that Holland's Got Talent was going to RTL 4 and that Patricia Paay was staying on the panel as a judge, there was much speculation about who would be the other panelists. Names such as Albert Verlinde, Paay's ex-husband Adam Curry and Jacques d'Ancona were mentioned. Paay immediately made it clear that he did not want to work with d'Ancona, since he allegedly made indecent comments about Paay.[2] It was eventually announced that the two other panellists alongside Paay were Gordon Heuckeroth and Dan Karaty.[3] Karaty, having been a judge on the Dutch version of So You Think You Can Dance seemed a perfect fit for the role.

There was also a rivalry between Holland's Got Talent and the SBS6 talent show Popstars, (on which Patricia Paay had previously been a member of the panel) both being broadcast at the same time. However, the HGT judges and presenter Robert ten Brink made sure not to talk negatively about the rival show when asked about it in the media. Former judging panel member Henkjan Smits did congratulate RTL 4 after having a well received and highly viewed final for the show on September 10.[4]

The first live show was broadcast on August 13, 2010. After much speculation from the media (including De Telegraaf),[5] the show was eventually won by Martin Hurkens.[6] Gordon told him that he could place himself next to Paul Potts and Susan Boyle (famous winners of the British counterpart of the show, Britain's Got Talent).

Auditions

edit

The auditions took place in May and June and were all held in one theatre. During the auditions, 64 acts were deemed live show worthy, however this was exactly double what could actually go through. The judges then deliberated which 32 acts could go through to the live shows. Since the judges couldn't decide on their outcome, seven acts were made to audition a second time, and as a result of this, three more acts made it into the final 32.

Semi-finals

edit

The act with the most votes earns a place in the final. From the two acts that come second and third, the judges will choose one more that will also go to the final. Each judge has their own vote that they can cast on one of the two acts.
