The Netherlands THE NETHERLANDS 2014 - The Common Linnets - Calm After The Storm

[FilipFromSweden]

The Netherlands as a runner-up is a victory itself, it shows that they can win this contest too. I think they we're really great and really deserved a 2nd place! Congratulations!

 

[greece]

Their performance was amazing . It was romantic,beautiful and emotionalas and the song. It matches perfect. I am happy that they are the runner up, cause they are actually the second winner

 

[blue00eyes]

True winner. What's wrong with Europe? :?

I'm proud my country gave them 12.

 

[Venage]

For me the true winner. Just pure music without any gimmick. I'm glad Germany finally gave the Netherlands their well deserved 12 points. I'm also happy to see that even though the Netherlands are "only" at the second place they are the highest charting song of Eurovision in the German charts. Well deserved, so the ESC was at least a good advertisement for their music

 

[Kevin]

Hope everyone is proud of them, they had a fantastic performence. I am happy we gave them 12 points. Just bought their album and it is amazing as well. Keep sending this kind of quality and your next victory is not far of.

Many congratulations to the Netherlands. For me, you are the winner...Calm After The Storm would have won if it wasn't for all the publicity that had surrounded Conchita.
The staging/voices/chemistry were extraordinary, one of the best duets I've ever seen in Eurovision.

 

[Bluebird]

Congratulations The Netherlands, van harte gefeliciteerd Nederland!

You have an outstanding song, I was convinced already the first time I listened to it. 12 points from me to you!

Have been checking the detailed voting results on Eurovision Song Contest - Copenhagen 2014, and Netherlands seems to have done better in televote than in jury vote. Who would've thougth that.

f.e. Malta: televoters put Netherlands in 5th place, jury 25th.
Belgium: Televote 2nd place, jury 8th place (Austria 2nd in jury vote)
Austria: Televote 1st place, jury 7th place
Denmark: Televote 1st place, jury 3rd. (Austria second in jury vote)
Iceland: Televote 1st place, jury 3rd (Austria second in jury vote)
Ireland: Televote 2nd place (Autstria 3rd), jury 3rd, (austria 1st)
Montenegro: Televote 9th, jury 18th
Romania: televote 3rd, jury 11th (
Spain: Televote 3rd, jury 10th (Austria 2nd)
UK: Televote 2nd (Austria 3rd), jury 7th (Austria 3rd)

How is it possible that a so called ''expert'' jury of Malta, has the Netherlands at 25th place????? That is just ridiculous!!

How is it possible that a so called ''expert'' jury of Malta, has the Netherlands at 25th place????? That is just ridiculous!!

Indeed I agree there. I apologize on behalf of my country's juries!

Wow, I'm so happy for The Netherlands. Such a classy performance and awesome song. For the 2nd year in a row, The Netherlands got in my Top 10 after their semifinal performance. The 2nd place was very well deserved and I was delighted that Europe has noticed this song.

Our commentator said: "This has nothing to do with Eurovision." :? I wanted to puke, to be honest. But he also said some other things I couldn't really get and had serious problems with basic mathematics during the voting so I'm not really surpised now.

I hope that they will continue sending awesome and original entries and that they will be rewarded for that again.

Good luck to Ilse&Waylon in reaching top of the charts, I can see this song as a hit.

 

[CypriotGirl]

The moral winner in my eyes. It came 2nd with its own value, with no gimmick at all like the winner. It was all about the song and the simple performance. But I'm very happy for it, it was one of the only songs that touched me this year.

 

[Misi]

It was my favourite yesterday and I voted for it!

 

[Romeo]

I would rather won last night. I was hoping for Amsterdam 2015 half way through the votes.

I am hardly ever happy with the winner so why should 2014 be any different lol
