Better Than Ever

Old contestants from various music competitions in the Netherlands (such as Idols or The Voice) are given a second chance to proof their talent (and possible growth) after not becoming particularly succesful in the music industry. Every person has their own story as to why they have not been able to make it in the music world and some of their stories show a deeper and often emotional look in what life is like after departure from big reality shows surrounding music. At the end of this competition a winner is chosen, who will then be granted 25.000 euros to spend on recording new music, giving them a second chance at a music career.
