Why do you think they are performing in black and white? :p
It has a very beauty and the beast feeling to it.

Ilse the lovely lady and Waylon the arrogant ass. It fits!

Of course. Although the song is't from my faves (but I like it), I think that it could be a great winner

Waylon isn't that arrogant in my opinion, and Ilse is just too excited (it annoys me sometimes)
Don't judge people so fast, i think waylon is just more subdued and realistic.

I was exaggerating. :p

I agree with you on Waylon. Ilse never bothers me though. I like her enthusiasm.

How could you talk about originality? really?
This is the only song in esc that does not have a typical esc tune, lyrics, performance and gimmics.
Most countrys tried hard to make the perfect esc song with all the esc clicee in it, some looked to pasted winners even....instead Ilse and Waylon just made good music with esc in their mind and made a sensable act around it!
This song is already very original because none of the chlicees are involving their performance if you ask me.

For me personally, they bring back the feeling where ESC was all started from, a GOOD SONGCONTEST where it is all around song and not all the things around a song in form off gimmics.

Touché.

Please, don't make me delude myself hehe I was touched by this entry since it came to light and I've never been lucky with my favourite entries even not qualifying for the final but this year is so different and checking the betting odds and reading your comments isn't impossible not to create expections. :D

I wasn't sure whether this would be popular in eastern Europe, but according to ESCTracker it's eighth in Moldova's iTunes. Not bad, not bad at all.

Tonight I'm primarily cheering for the Netherlands, along with a few others! xcheer

Good luck & veel sterkte my fellow Dutchies. Ilse & Waylon: TOI TOI TOI.

And I have to remind myself: be happy with a nice result, it's much much more than what I and so many others expected just a few days ago. (feeling goosebumps while writing this....)

Top5 would be very very very awesome indeed! :D

I will be really disappointed if this entry will be lower than 10th place though. REALLY disappointed.

En jij ook veel sterkte! We zullen het nodig hebben! *slik*

Best of luck for tonight. I think you'll bomb at least the Western voting :D

I'd love this to win ESPECIALLY to quote everyone who bashed it or said this had no chance at all when it was chosen :mrgreen:
