The Netherlands THE NETHERLANDS 2015 - Trijntje Oosterhuis - Walk Along

[Mozz]

I'm not sad at all that we didn't qualify. I'm still so proud of our last years result, I can probably hold on to that feeling for some years. =)

Me neither. I wasn't interested if our song would qualify or not. I just didn't bother to care anymore after it was released and I heard it. It all felt like a non-event, this semi.

I still cherish the last 2 years.

 

[DutchESC]

Has she said anything yet?


Also, how would this affect next year? If shes a big star in the Netherlands, and she failed to qualify, then sure this will make other big names reluctant to take part now.

I've not seen her on TV yet.

The song choice was just not good enough and the staging was very disappointing. I don't think respectable Dutch artists will be influenced by it, I'm pretty sure they can see why this did not qualify.
I hope Dotan will take part next year, but we'll see!

You really should have qualified instead of

OK. I was just unsure about how it may affect things next year. It's like the German NF last year, it had quite a few big names, but all failed. So this year there wasn't any big names. Wasn't sure if it would have a similar result to this.

At least she's doing well in Tajikistan.

The voting was an absolute mess this year. I can tell you that the diaspora in Australia is what probably carried those countries through. Not enough people are going to wake up at 5 AM to watch Trijnte in slot 4...

Let's give the 2016 wildcard to Tajikistan

Trijntje is 4th best on iTunes of those who performed in the semi

She did her part best she could. Clearly the problem was the terrible "pantsuit" and even worse stage show

If they didn't sabotage themselves like that I'm positive Netherlands would be in the final on Saturday

 

[Mrm]

That outfit was BRILLIANT, the best one of the evening...

I think the start was very weird, a long blurred close up. And than a long shot of her behind

 

[DoctorX]

Always thought it was an ok song neither the performance was great but still it deserved to qualify more than Romania or Armenia at least

 

[LoveHate]

One of the better vocal performances, but the song was too repetitive and annoying.

No, the problem was the song, plain and simple. It was just the same thing over and over again, which wasn't catchy in the first place, and i don't think this "soft-folk-rock" genre belongs in the ESC at all. Their success in the last 2 years was a fluke, i think those who selected this tune for her just don't "get" the ESC, with so many failures they need to see over their entire selection process.

She chose the song herself and it's written by Anouk & Swedish songwriter

What did she keep on looking at? Like glancing over the cameraman? Girl, you better work on your performance.

 

[Matt]

1. I don't like the song
2. The staging was terrible
3. Trijntje looked almost uncomfortable on stage

This song doesn't have a lot of redeeming qualities in my book. I never thought this has even the slightest chance of qualifying but I thought they'd do a better job with the staging. Hopefully the Netherlands is going to realize that sending a big name may not be enough, you need a good song and they certainly failed to do send that in 2015.

I agree, Barbara Dex award should be renamed. What is it about the Low countries and awful dresses

 

[niko]

The song was just bad and didn't deserve to qualify. That's all.

 

[BananaBoy]

Why didn't this get to the final? Why? Whywayayaywhy?!

 

[revallsay]

Well, I don't like this song, but she should have qualified, because her vocals were flawless. Stupid Hungary qualified...
