[Biste]

That blue screen part though

 

[jatojo]

I fear Gunhiild's vocals are less powerfull than NF's

I thought they were stronger.

 

[mauve]

Joost --- not my favorite ... really ...

 

[Chrisiam]

Vocals aren't quite there for Netherlands but it is a hell of a lot of fun.

 

[jatojo]

The Dutch entry is a kids show, as somebody said.

 

[soulm8]

Netherlands is winning this Semi.

 

[Chrisiam]

I am digging the 32-Bit graphics though.

 

[aef]

I’ve been a Europapa supporter from the very beginning but the staging is a huge disappointment and I thought that he could sing at least a little bit live. It reached level with that staging and vocal non-performance unfortunately.

 

[Etanna]

the Netherlands felt very childish

 

[HarryUK]

Maybe if Joost is on last on Saturday and I’d have got through 3 bottles of wine I can enjoy it

 

[Jay25]

The next step after Europapa is just no singing at all, only background vocals

 

[Franzilein]

I guess we just saw the public winner.

 

[Realest]

will only be like 4th in the TV (Final).

 

[soulm8]

Fun and emotional! Well done, Netherlands! This is what Finland wanted to be

 

[lasse braun]

at least the dutch "dancerave" - beats austria 5:0

 

[Citelis]

Weak staging ruining the huge potential the song had.

 

[gigi_copp3]

With being stronger that I thought for a casual viewer, I can see landsliding the televote

 

[Laepo1]

I thought they were stronger.

I thought the same! Much better today.

I think the camera work needs some improvement though.

 

[Codeword Iroquois]

That performance had a very Dutch sense of humor.

 

[0scar]

I'm crying omg that end....
I don't care what happens but I'm so proud of Joost and so happy for him
