THE NETHERLANDS 2012 - Joan Franka - You and Me

[ukboy]

Who is blaming neighbour voting tonight?? I know I didn't. Where on these last few pages do you read about neighbour voting?

Yes Mozz there are a few rambling on about disspora voting, it winds me up. I know better than anyone being from the UK, its all people talk about in the country when it comes to eurovision.

Remember ''Politically then can't stand each other, nationally they loathe each other, but when it comes to music they have alot in eurovision''

Do we think Macedonia voted for Serbia (I'm guessing) tonight because they like their views on tax on oil or because Zeljko is a big star in Macedonia?

Dit vind ik echt spijtig zeg :'(!

Such a shame ! The Netherlands deserved a place in the finals!

Voor jullie vind ik het ook erg jammer!
I'm so sorry for Joan. The song was ok and I still like it. What do the Netherlands have to send next? After 8 years it's getting harder and harder... and my country doesn't believe in it anymore..and now I believe that a joke entry(Russia, which is not even a song) gets more points than a decent one. So maybe it has to be something like "Kabouter Plop" next year..

we had our entire block and we didn't make it

 

[Laktatjakka]

Sorry but I didn't really like this performance... An American Indian with a polka music band... That's what happens when marijuana is legalised in a country ! Hahaha ! Sorry but I clearly understand why it didn't make it to the final !

Good luck for 2013 !

I know and it was a very good song. for me though Croatia came across as a little bit flat tonight. Sweden following it may have stole some thunder from it. I dunno?

Wow that was MEAN

Still this is a song contest and as a SONG it totally deserved to qualify.

whatever it was, block (4! countries) didn't help us. that was all I wanted to say on that subject.

Thanks , I'm more disappointed in the Netherlands not qualifying. I really crossed my fingers for you all this night. It really sucks!
What also sucks is that they always split our little 'block'. Not that we exchange our 12 points, but I would love for once to vote for you guys, if the song is great of course (like this year)!

This was really a great song! This year the Netherlands were robbed again!

Says a Swede whose singer looked like she had a dose of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Don't mind him/her, he/she doesn't represent all of us Swedes thankfully... I voted for this twice and I feel really sorry it failed

I don't mind the feathers what-so-ever, on contrary I liked them

Swedes are generally very nice (not sarcastic)! It was just a rude remark, I had to react !

I liked the outfit as well. It was something unusual, special and it suited the song imo.

I ain't that pleased/confident with the Swedish song either ! Estonia's my favorite !

 

[Scooby]

She deserve that qualification much more than Lithuania or Ukraine. I can't understand why Europe ignore Holland on Eurovision?

 

[Synergise]

A lot of UK Eurovision fans disappointed the Netherlands didn't get through. Apparently the voting line for the Netherlands was really busy here and people couldn't get through the first time; it shows the level of support here, Joan was very popular.

 

[_bittersweet_]

Oh, that was the best song of the night, and it didin't qualify. I've couldn't be more upset. I was really believing that it would make it to the final.

 

[Cooler]

Out of all those lovely sweet songs, this was the loveliest and the sweetest one, not that I voted for it (even if I did, not that Bosnia would give it a single point), but I definitely enjoyed her performance, it was so simple, yet so... I don't know; yet so enjoyable!

 

[Pearly]

Very deserved that she didn't reach the final. She sang out of tune.....The act, my god, so bland and too lazy.
Nope, it wasn't a good performance at all. am even a bit ashamed.

Next year just a very good song ala Sweden for example, my god. It can be so simple I think.

Btw I have heard Joan live on concerts. But this was not good and the song......well, nice but nothing special, why should this have reached the final?

Nope, next year a DJ with a very good singer that can perform under pressure. We have very good singers in the Netherlands, but no one wants to participate in Eurovision, thats a pitty.

Congrats to all the countries that made it!

 

[Pearly]

I can understand the reactions btw.
For me I really thought it was very undeserved that Glennis grace and Edsilia Rombley didn't reach the final.
Still I cannot believe why those 2 didn't make the final

Well we won't quit this contest, believe me, wel will keep on trying no matter what.
We just need a good song, singer, combination etc.
Well mabye next year.

Love your attitude and agree. And Glennis would have most likely qualified if they had 2 Semis back then.
