Do we still sing the praises of folly like Erasmus, or is it trendy again to be smart? And if so, who is the smartest? Who can talk about the medals won at the Olympic Games in London, but at the same time knows who Captain Haddock is? Who knows whether Lacan was a hair growth product or a psychoanalyst and can also program their own digital television? Who has déjà vu when leafing through the Encyclopedia Britannica and when reading the interviews with the new Miss Waregem Koerse? Who, oh who, is the smartest person in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, and by extension, the world? That is determined by a fierce battle between three fellow human beings. Every day, someone is eliminated, someone who may not be the smartest, but who is perhaps cherished in their family circle because of their many other talents. The others advance and are joined by a new challenger every day.

The Voice van Vlaanderen is a Belgian reality singing competition for the Flemish part of Belgium, and which is part of the franchise that started in the Netherlands as The Voice of Holland. It kicked-off on November 25, 2011 on VTM, shortly before the francophone Belgian variant The Voice Belgique went on air. A second season of The Voice van Vlaanderen for the 2012-13 season has started. One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents in their group and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner.

A young musician and singer named Johnny has been notified by a law firm that his mother, an aging rock star whom Johnny hasn't seen or heard from since he was 3 years old, has died in a helicopter accident. Johnny has been willed her castle and all of her property and money, but he must visit the actual castle to claim these things.

Turning fifty: it’s the ultimate milestone that society loves to slap labels on. You’re supposed to suddenly settle down, lose your wild streak, and trade the festival grounds for unsolicited conversations about your cholesterol or the state of your lawn. But how much truth is there really to these clichés? Today marks the day Willy DJ Tomas De Soete blows out fifty candles, with Roos Van Acker following suit later this year. No cause for panic, but the perfect occasion for a brand-new weekly podcast: *Viva 50*. Across five episodes, the two Willy icons—joined by famous peers—discuss 50 clichés associated with hitting the big five-oh. Which ones do they ruthlessly debunk, and which ones are they forced to painfully admit apply to them? Armed with a healthy dose of self-deprecation and a barrage of sharp questions, they take on the sacred cows of midlife glory. Is fifty really the new forty? Do people actually mellow with age?

Singing talent alone doesn't always get you to the top. In the brand new, grand VTM show 'Lift You Up', four Flemish top artists give unknown singing talent an unprecedented opportunity. They jeopardize their career to launch a new career. Metejoor, Laura Tesoro, Jasper Steverlinck and Bart Peeters each look for that one special singing talent with whom they click.

Will Tura invites more than twenty top artists, who will all perform a song from his extensive repertoire in his presence. With video footage from Will's rich past, this unique concert will be a journey through the rich work and life of the Emperor of Flemish song. Will Tura will be honored by more than 20 top Flemish artists. Bart Peeters, CAPPAERT, Christoff, Cleymans & Van Geel, Clouseau, Daan, Free Souffriau, Geike Arnaert, Günther Neefs, Helmut Lotti, Jasper Steverlinck, Joost Zweegers, Luc Steeno, Metejoor, Natalia, Niels Destadsbader, Ozark Henry, Paul Michiels, Peter Vanlaet, Ruben Block, Sandra Kim, and Stijn Meuris will honor him in a unique way. They will each 'adopt' one of Will Tura's gems (almost 60 number 1 hits in Flanders) in order to present songs from his entire repertoire in the presence of the Master himself.
