Wer hätte das Gedacht. Inmitten der allergrößten Schlagerstars hinterlässt ein Sänger den meisten Eindruck, den man gar nicht so richtig auf der Rechnung hatte. Eloy de Jong, Sänger der englisch-niederländischen Boygroup „Caught in the Act“, singt seit Kurzem erst auf Deutsch, aber das dafür gleich mit durchschlagenden Erfolg. Der Song No Matter What stammt im Original von der Gruppe Boyzone, deren Lead-Sänger Stephen Gately mit Eloy de Jong eine Zeit lang liiert war. Stephen Gately verstarb im Jahr 2009 und in Erinnerung an seinen Ex-Freund sang Eloy de Jong die deutsche Version „Egal was andere sagen“ in Florian Silbereisens Show speziell für ihn. Durch diesen emotionalen Moment geht die deutsche Version soeben richtig durch die Decke. Bei Amazon liegt der Song seit dem Auftritt fast durchgehend in den Top 10 und das dazugehörige Video verbreitet sich ebenfalls rasend schnell. Auch in den Spotify Schlager Hits 2018 geht der Song sofort von 0 auf Platz 4. Ich habe hier für euch das Video und im Anschluss den Songtext. Schreibt mir sehr gerne in die Kommentare weiter unten, warum euch der Song so begeistert.

Eloy de Jong in 2015 Eloy Francois Maurice Gilbert Charles Prosper de Jong was born on March 13, 1973 in The Hague, Netherlands. As a teenager, Eloy de Jong was the Dutch youth champion in Latin American dance. In 1993, producer Cees van Leeuwen was searching for four young men to create a boy band called Caught in the Act. De Jong was chosen as one of the four members. After their initial failures, the band made a breakthrough in the Netherlands and Germany after performing in the RTL soap opera Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten in November 1994. Their success was mostly focused on Germany, and by 1998 the band had placed three albums in the German top ten and sold more than 20 million records. After a farewell concert on August 16, 1998 in Magdeburg, the band split up. In the summer of 1999, de Jong came back into the public eye when he and his partner, Irish singer Stephen Gately from the band Boyzone, became the first members of boy bands to come out as gay. In 2002, the two separated. After that, De Jong had a relationship with the moderator Carlo Boszhard for a while. In 2004, he started his career as a solo singer and landed a minor hit in Germany with the single Angel In Disguise.This was followed by several other hit songs, like Regenbogen (Rainbows) (2017), Egal was andere sagen (No matter what others say) (2018), and Liebe kann so weh tun (Love can hurt) (2018) a duet with Marianne Rosenberg. In 2021 had scored a big hit with "Bist du's Oder Bist du's Nicht (Are you or are you not?), a duet with Bestrice Egli. His 2018 album Koft auf - Herz An (Head up, Heart on) went to number 1 in the German charts. While his follow up album in 2020 Auf das Leben-Fertig-Los! (It's about life-Ready-Go!) reached number 2. De Jong started a family a few years ago, and he and his partner became fathers of a daughter and a son. Unfortunately, the son died at birth.[1][2] The girl was raised by the two fathers and her mother,[3] according to the model of coparenting.
