It’s fair to say that I am quite surprised here ! Happy as I voted for Douwe but still surprised :) ! Congrats !
Expected results.Happy for Douwe.
ok, a bit unexpected, but many Euro fans young and new, always remember the influence of Dutch songs in the 1980s on the European scene, I mean like a Dutch entry in Dutch NF became a big hit for a terrible type Bucks Fizz kind of couldn’t sing singers in the early 80s in UK
Hate that song. Despite that Bill van Dijk completely screwed his performance in Harrogate, I still think we made the right choice that year.
I don’t like it either but it was representative of Dutch influence in the 1980s in Europe, so many songs from Holland came to Spain for example, and yes Bill Van Dijk screwed up big time in Harrogate!!
those early 80s fans voted here!!
Wasn’t the NL eliminated in the first round?
Andra chansen. :)
But he finished third.
I am sorry, but I missed most of TEKO this year, but I thought only songs that ranked second in each round could advance.
Did he. I don’t remember.
You’re right, NL finished third, Norway finished second.

Then why wasn’t Norway in this heat instead of Holland? I thought the threshold was something like 35%.
Sorry everyone I did a typo in the heat 1 result, the Netherlands did come 2nd and Norway 3rd, honest! I’d mixed the % up when posting the result, but then used the correct scores from the poll for working out the 2nd chance (phew). I have screen grab of the results.
Ok :) Because if it was between Norway and Cyprus, I would have voted for Cyprus!
I’ll arrive in Berlin on Monday and stay there until the end of July … except on the weekends. :)
I voted for Cyprus but I am very happy with the Netherlands too. :)
@ hulluna, good to know. I can’t stand Norway this year.
Didn’t expected Netherlands to win it. I thought it would be between Malta and Cyprus. I don’t like the song, but I like HIM. :P Well, that’s something.
I guess here I wanted to end up saying re Dutch/Spanish relation, saying that all Dutch /Belgianpeople here in Barcelona sing the following song with other foreigners and and as a bar song with Barcelona natives! Upside down easy does it make me
on chante,on chante :-)
Oh no. Not Vanessa again 😱😉😉
This is my favourite Dutch/Spanish collaboration
Amir singing in Greek and he’s good:
I can’t wait for him singing in Finnish LOL
Seriously, all this little clips are very clever marketing. Very very nice touch.
indeed and give Spain a break
!!!
He sounds exactly like Volanis in this :P
French, tragic song ;.. (
I think that he could have sung sth much better than Je serchais, but I still like the French entry this year. Additionally I think he is the eye candy of the season ;)
go on….! :-)
:D
eye candy seems to be the reason for the winning song these days I guess :-(
“eye candy seems to be the reason for the winning song these days”
Yeah Conchita was well fit!!! Proper gorge!
Expected and well deserved !
A sure qualifier imo!
The San Marino minipop icon is so nice.lol!

A well deserved result, but Cyprus is a fine song too :-)

Sergey Lazarev’s interview with Eurovision.tv:
SO HE DID PERFORM IN ISRAEL!!!
If you follow ET’s coverage you’d be forgiven for not knowing
https://eurovisiontimes.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/israel-calling-1st-pre-eurovision-event-takes-place/
Appearing were:
Amir (France)
Michal Szpak (Poland)
Joe and Jake (United Kingdom)
Jüri Pootsmann (Estonia)
ManuElla (Slovenia)
Rykka (Switzerland)
Lidia Isac (Moldova)
Ivan (Belarus)

NO MENTION OF SEGEY PERFORMING AT ALL!!!
I’m so very sorry for missing him off the list. We all make mistakes.
And clearly also I forgot to print a large photo of him there holding an Israel Calling promo sign… oh wait, no I did, didn’t I. There it was right at the top of the article.
And I also didn’t publish an interview with him in the Israel Eurovision forest with Esckaz… oh wait, no I did that too in the article.
Michos also published his live performance video in the comments.
I gave Sergey more than his fair share of coverage in that article as anyone who read it could easily see, it was obvious to anyone he was present there, so why are you coming on here and attacking us and implying we are not giving him coverage about it?
It was a joke, I was parodying the people above talking about Netherlands and Norway.
Quite a lot of buzz in the British media today, even in the Daily Telegraph, about Christer Bjorkman attacking the BBC and the UK.
Many of you will agree with his sentiments no doubt, but seriously you can’t have the man in charge of the contest and even the running order, openly expressing his disdain towards certain countries in the contest!
uuugghh I cant stand Netherlands this year
