Eurovision 2015: The Netherlands
May. 7th, 2015 07:38 pmThe Netherlands
Population: 16 912 640
Area: 41 543 km2
Language: Dutch
Eurovision Attendances: 55
Eurovision wins: 4 (1957, 1959, 1969 and 1975)
Trijntje Oosterhuis - Walk Along
The lyricist on this song, Anouk, performed one of my favourite Eurovision songs ever in ‘Birds’, so I had high hopes for this song and I was severely disappointed. Half the song is just “Why, why-aiaiai, why-aiaiai”. This whiney tune is more suited to an angsty teen. It explains why the bookmakers don’t rate this song.
If the lyrics were a fail, the music is an annoyance. Swidish composer Tobias Karlsson provided music suited for a second rate melodifestivalen tune. Maybe it should be sung by Carola.
Trijntje has had over 20 year experience in the music industry. You would think someone with that much experience would not be heading in with this tripe. The bookies don’t think this will qualify and I think it will be lucky if it does.
The Netherlands has been using internal selections for the last few years and they have done well. They won’t this time….
