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 successful 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.

Elke aflevering zijn er zeven opvallende oud-deelnemers van talentshows als Idols, Starmaker, X-Factor en The Voice of Holland te gast. Hoe gaat het nu met ze en wat hebben zij in de afgelopen jaren meegemaakt? Begeleid door Waylon en zonder jury, coaches en publiek leren zij elkaar opnieuw kennen en spelen ze het optreden van hun leven. Samen bepalen ze wie tegenwoordig Better Than Ever is en doorgaat naar de finale.
