I hope he goes with the uptempo version.. that one will be high on my list. It has that 2000's american rnb sound to it xmusic

The slow one will struggle for my top 40 :roll:

Why has the title been changed to 'Arcade'? Nothing has been confirmed yet by AVROTROS nor Duncan himself

I think the slow version of the song is stunning, his voice is out of this world, superb. Will be interesting to hear the full product on friday, but I can easily see this jump up to my top 10. This feels like real music. I don't know yet about the more "uptempo" version of it, it sounds a little weird in the clip, but maybe it works there as well. So my message to the Dutch spies (I KNOW YOU ARE HERE CREEPERS!), I suggest you choose the slow version, thank you. :mrgreen:

Tumblr, mostly.

Songfestival.nl confirmed it, based on changes in the coding of Duncan's website and well, them accidentally leaking Arcade in the process. It's not the same as confirmation (wtf admins), but it's a strong indication that the entry is indeed Arcade.

RIP the poor intern who'll be sacked over this.

www.duncanlaurence.Ink.to =/= Duncan Laurence's site

I admit that it seems obvious that Arcade is the song title based on the picture that has been posted, but I wouldn't directly draw conclusions - it might just be someone who has been very creative with Photoshop :mrgreen:

The slow version sounds boring af and left 0 impression on me at all, and I'm not a fan of the snippet either. :? I was sort of getting excited for this but this isn't encouraging, hopefully the final version will be something much better than what I've heard.

I'm not really convinced that 'Arcade' will actually be his Eurovision entry. The picture posted on the 'site of Duncan Laurence' (seems fishy to me tbh) has 'Duncan Laurence ARCADE' at chest height, while Duncan has been posting parts of the big picture on Instagram last two days without 'Duncan Laurence ARCADE' at chest height

As tomorrow is the song presentation, my guess would be that the last three pics of the top of the picture include the song name xshrug It feels like someone has been creative and created this, rather than it is actually the real thing

However, I'm excited and curious to finally hear what song is going to represent us :nl:

The uptempo version is a lot boring for me. It's a typical RnB song released in the 90s in America. I don't think The Netherlands will send this crap.

I don't like either versions of Arcade. I am still crossing my fingers and hoping that a miracle happens and I miss you goes to Tel Aviv.

It would be quite a big disappointment either way, slow version would be NQ for sure, mid tempo version BQ at best...
