About this episode

Chantal Janzen, a Dutch presenter, actress and singer, was going to host the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest together with her colleagues Jan Smit and Edsilia Rombley, but the coronavirus stopped all that. Now she is hosting the "Europe Shine a Light show", a celebration of the contest. Paulien Roessink from SBS Dutch talked to Chantal about the virus and the impact on the artists, and went back in history when the 14 year old Belgian girl Sandra Kim won the contest.
