“I came here to have fun,” says Nathalie, who now lives in Belgium, just before her performance. “It’s great,” says jury chairman Gerard Joling (59). “Who doesn’t want to look like this.” After that she stretches both her legs for a moment to start performing the song Proud Mary. Nathalie did that once during Idols, twelve years ago. Now she’s doing it again, including dance moves. She almost impresses the entire 100-person jury. One person does not stand. “I thought it was a bit too much, all of them,” his verdict sounds.

Rapper Défano Holwijn (27) was deeply impressed by the performance of Nathalie. “You fill the space when you come in. Your dance moves are great. You really are a superstar,” he says enthusiastically.
Nathalie eventually goes on to the final, where the floor absolutely sweeps with its competitors. In the final she brings the song Mesmerized, by Faith Evans (46). With that performance she breaks her own score. This time the entire jury is standing in front of her, causing Nathalie to win ten thousand euros. And the viewers at home were also deeply impressed by her performance.
