THE NETHERLANDS 2013 - Anouk - Birds

Re: THE NETHERLANDS 2013

I thought about it a while ago and one of my ideas was, if it's really too expensive for the public broadcasters, to couple it with The Voice of Holland (which is produced by a commercial broadcaster). One of the 8 semi-finalists will have a chance to compete at Eurovision with a new song. The selection will be between these 8. The timing is wonderful: the final of the The Voice is mid January.

Re: THE NETHERLANDS 2013

They could simply let the entire national preselection procedure be handled by the commercial broadcaster(s), whether it's embedded in The Voice of Holland or not.

So it comes down to Joan qualifying to the final then, hopefully the juries will pull her through.

In terms of 2013, I say MAKE SOME NOISE FOR THE VENGABOYS! haha

So hopefully Joan gets to the final, that's probably the only way The Netherlands can enter next year

Eh, what? The Voice of Holland is absolutely not a karaoke show (at all). Overall the average quality of the finalists and semi-finalists is very good (I think). And besides less known artists get the chance to present themselves to Europe, rather than the same old same old Dutch names that we already know. Joan Franka was one of the The Voice contestants.

Re: THE NETHERLANDS 2013

I hope that this doesn't spell the end, I mean I know it probably will be but I just hope they try once more next year. I expect Netherlands weren't last in the semi-final like last year anyway.

Re: THE NETHERLANDS 2013

I expect The Netherlands on position 11 or 12 in this Semi.
But anyway: Isn´t there the chance that the broadcaster of JESC will broadcast ESC and manage the ESC instead of TROS (if it´s too expensive for them.)
I mean, the Netherlands seem to have success in JESC.

Re: THE NETHERLANDS 2013

Maybe will the Netherlands withdraw next year.
The song contest is to expensive for the TROS.

Dutch: http://www.nu.nl/media/2814795/tros-vreest-bezuinigingen-songfestival.html

Kuipers says in the interview, that there won't be a problem to finance it next year?

Today he says, the TROS will do everything they can to participate next year.

nah, Slovakia came last last night, nae doubt. But I fear the Netherlands may have been 16th or 17th :/

Re: THE NETHERLANDS 2013

My country ending 16th or 17th last night would be (almost) just as bad as finishing last, that is feeling. Especially if it's just one or two places above say Slovakia (18th) and Georgia or Bulgaria (17th).

Re: THE NETHERLANDS 2013

Hope The Netherlands not withdraw, this years song was perfect and should qualify. Its Europes taste, bdr.

Re: THE NETHERLANDS 2013

I'm almost for 100% sure that we won't withdraw. The TROS has a contract that expires after the contest in 2013, so it would be stupid to not send anyone. When the contract expires, then there's need for trouble... Although you never know with them: they are very stubborn.

No, I don't think The Netherlands will EVER withdraw, and I mean this only 20% sarcastically. There's always some money for this. And the majority of the Dutch still supports Eurovision participation. Our majority just likes to be part of festivals like these, whether we qualify for the final or not.

This year, the vast majority likes or loves and supports our entry, Joan Franka, and they've enjoyed it. Not qualifying for this year's final is a bit painful but we'll get over it rather soon. It will never be as painful as not qualifying for the last 8 or 4 in major football (soccer) championships. Now that would be really bumming the Dutch.

Re: THE NETHERLANDS 2013

According to German blog Eurofire, The Netherlands kind of confirmed participation in 2013. ("We will do everything possible to participate again in 2013" - Peter Kuipers)

Re: THE NETHERLANDS 2013

The Netherlands has confirmed participation in 2013, but last time in final was 2004.
