Glad you enjoyed the Show, guys - and thanks for all the points (special thanx for the 12 and 10 points!) - and victory - for my entry by Within Temptation for
The Netherlands
Happy to see many of you enjoyed/loved my selected song
I love the song myself and thought it could be in with a chance of top 3 on a good day, knowing that the band and their music is popular. But you never know in these contests, surprises do happen, and the competition was very strong, as the exciting results showed, with some very popular artists and classic songs. I was very pleased to see my song battle it out and win in the end
Within Temptation's 2007- album 'The Heart of Everything' is one of my favourite albums by the band, it was released in their 'symphonic gothic' music period or their 'golden years' as I like to think of it. My 2 favourite songs on that excellent album, which I had to choose between for this Spin-Off, are "Our Solemn Hour" (my entry which I finally chose after some deliberation) and "The Truth Beneath the Rose". I love both songs and "Our Solemn Hour" was a hairsbreadth in front.
Thanks again for taking part, guys - and for your kind words
