I like the rehearsal very much, but the backing vocals are a bit too loud. I hope they will change that ^^

That was a very good rehearsal!
If it both looks and sounds good I might vote for it.

I have to say that i am dissapointed. I do not understand why fans from other countries are positive after seeing the rehearsal?? In my opinion we have a good song and a good singer, thank God hehe but come on...are we back in the 80s or something? Why did we get the most boring backdrop? A beautiful backdrop could have given the performance something extra! I hope we fail this year. Im tired of hoping we will qualify each year. We just can't come up with some fresh ideas. Look at ukraine for example. A crap song with a beautiful and fantastich backdrop that will get noticed, im 100% sure. FAIL Netherlands, we deserve it.

I have to agree. I feel like they did everything they could to make this as forgettable as possible.

Maybe, I'm not objective, but I want to see this song in the final! So I will hope they qualify

I'm not disappointed about the backdrop. It's not overdone and it suits them. I hope it will stand out between the rest!

I think were on place 11-13. Im afraid the performance is to boring, and our song is the 3rd one in semi 2..
Its pity because the vocals are OK.

Yes its possible. I remember some countries changed the backdrop last year. Though i dont think the 3js will do their best to get an amazing backdrop. The lightning has to change imo. Purple + yellow doesnt work for this song. They should go for something fresh like blue or green maybe, something more rockish with beautiful white lights like bosnia last year? Maybe that works lol. I dont expect a lot
im afraid to be dissapointed again *sigh*

Now I have watched almost all the rehearsals from the second semi, I fear we will not get through this year... There are certainly nine worser songs than this in the 2nd semi, but guess what? Everybody makes good use of the staging and the visual effects, except for The Netherlands! Not that the whole performance depends on visual effects and staging (I guess many viewers will prefer a good and well performed song), but it helps to give the performance more power and it makes the performance less forgettable. Never alone isn't a song that needs much staging (it doesn't suit the song), but they could have done much more with the backdrop. Now it's so forgettable in comparison with the staging from the other songs... and I fear that will break them down, despite the good song.

I don't think it will stand out. I mean, with more effects than just background lights, it would be less boring than it is now.

I think, the background choir is too loud - they are louder than the singer, so it´s not good for me. This should be changed in the semifinal. I´m not sure about the final at the moment.
