That pause 5 sec in song was another form of slowing down.

That was just the point of the pause, because it suites this song!

Im in shock. How the fuck did we qualified lol. Thanks people for your lovely comments
Although we're in the first half, we do not have to worry. A song like Miracle from Azerbaijan for example has to worry, we don't. Slow Down is one of its kind. It will stand out no matter what draw it gets. Its just good and wont be ignored. I am convinced now. Yeah took some time ;-)

I think Douwe was a bit high tonight.

 

[GermanBango]

I smell 12 points from the German Jury for Douwe

This entry worked very well during the night and it definitely finished high in the ranking, much higher than people predicted. One of my faves along with Hungary, Croatia and Armenia.

 

[Capristo]

The first semi-final had 2.9 million viewers in The Netherlands.

What an amazing performance. A big winner of the night and a big favorite for Saturday.

You just placed this alongside the 3 worst (yet sadly expected) qualifiers from last night. My mum adored this song - think this has the older generations vote as well

Tonight The Common Linnets in Douwe's Bar!

OMG REALLY?

Leaden chorus I feel, vocal's ok, could have put in more slide guitar maybe. The style makes it stand out more, though I suspect he gets votes just because some think he looks cute.

He had really good performance, deserved qualifier for me.

This was easily my top 3 last night and I believe he easily qualified (not being a borderline qualifier).

And this is another proof EVERY country can make it. You just send a nice song and there you go.

This might do well with both televote and jury.

I really like. Actually, I liked it already in March.

Well the Netherlands did come second in 2014 so it's not like this wasn't known before
