Eloy de Jong: In a duet with Helene Fischer, not with Andrea Berg!
In the world of pop, Eloy de Jong (52), who became famous in the 1990s with the boy band Caught in the Act, has once again caused a sensation. In an interview that was broadcast on the RTL program “Exclusive – Weekend”, he gave an insight into his career and his preferences, in particular his preference for duet partners. The decision fell on the great Helene Fischer (40), while Andrea Berg (59) had to fall back in the rankings. According to Merkur, this wasn't the only exciting information the singer revealed.
Since his start as a solo artist in 2014, Eloy de Jong has firmly established himself in the pop world. His breakthrough came in 2018 with the album “Head off - Heart on”, which reached the top of the German charts. This is also reflected in his over 20 million records sold with Caught in the Act and numerous appearances in well-known hit shows, as reported in Schlager.de.
A popular guest
With his charming dialect and the catchy pop elements of his music, Eloy is a sought-after guest on shows such as “ZDF- Fernsehengarten” and Giovanni Zarrella’s formats. He also has a clear preference for the presenter Florian Silbereisen, whose shows had a significant influence on his career. His appearance on Silbereisen's show "Heimlich! - Big Hit Surprise" was a crucial turning point for him, as he himself explained.
In the interview, de Jong also admitted that he left Caught in the Act a millionaire. His financial situation appears to be stable, although he did not want to reveal any details.
The roots of the hit
Eloy de Jong's rise is also a testament to the rich history of Schlager, which has been one of the most famous musical styles in German-speaking countries since the 19th century. The term “Schlager” itself is derived from the German word “schlag” and refers to catchy music with easy-to-understand lyrics. The hit originally developed from folk songs and operettas. Over time, artists such as Helene Fischer and Andrea Berg have enriched the tradition of this musical style with modern sounds and fascinating stage presence, showing that Schlager continues to change while honoring its roots, as Schlagerfieber explains.
So Eloy de Jong not only remains an important part of the modern pop scene, but also suggests that it will be exciting to see which duet partners he will choose in the future!
