The Netherlands THE NETHERLANDS 2019 - Duncan Laurence - Arcade

[Romeo]

It will either win or end 4th... You can quote me on that (unless I'm wrong)

 

[Mrm]

This reminds me so much of Italy's 2017, so much hype and in the end they might not even win...

I'm starting to actually root for The Netherlands to win the whole thing, damn the song is so good but we still need to see the rehearsals and the ESC staging, all this hype could go down the drain. Let's not get ourselves too excited over a certain song just yet

I'd actually love now to see Portugal winning, i love NED, but trend in 2020 won't be that good then i'm afraid, with Conan winning it could be AMAZING!

If Duncan wins - succeeding to Netta, who succeeded to Salvador - it shows again that winners don't dictate winning trends.

I don't refer to next winner but to entries which will compete..I want more in native languages, more risky, edgy..and NED is not that, despite me liking it..

Okay, the last time came...I have to defend Portugal with Conan Osiris to Portuguese fans.. hahahah Is the end of the World officially today? :

Of course not, just look at that damn contrast between Salvador and Netta... Outstanding!

Ah! That I agree: ESC 2018 had loads of songs in native language, and now ESC 2019 has quite a few quirky, out-of-the-box entries (better than "Toy", I'd say, lol).

So yes, Duncan winning could open way for more songs like "Arcade". Not that I would mind, though, they're always welcome, but diversity is always important.

 

[Peresvet]

with the russian song this is certainly the best song

I want to see St.Peterburg or Hag 2020

 

[mauve]

Portugal or Iceland, please!

I'd argue that Fuego has had a much bigger influence on songs this year

Indeed. I don't think "Fuego" was mentioned that much last year as it was the past week with the 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 versions that came out.

I love this song! What an intense atmosphere...
Even if some people are saying that the dutch song have the victory in the pocket, In the end of the game, it will be Netherlands, Italy or Portugal running to the gold.

 

[GRE]

One part of me says that this will clearly win.
But another part of me is thinking that:
Sweden will damage this on juries,
so it will need a clear victory in televoting.
I am thinking the winners of the last 5 years,
they all had something special in their entries.
I wonder if the dutch entry, could be this case.
Perfect vocals, perfect production, perfect music, perfect lyrics...
It reminds me Bulgaria 2017. Too close, but not the special one.

I feel like i'm one of the only people that don't like this.. i mean the music video is great but the song doesnt really do anything to me meh..

Well it happens. You feel it or you just don’t, and you know you are not the only one.
It’s a fascinating thing to see reactions of people who listened to Arcade..You are like Goy on this video

Toy on the other hand is a mess after the first listen

 

[mauve]

Not completely. Or at least I am very torn about this song. I love the chorus very much, but see nothing special about the song in ist entity. It's lacking. Can't actually imagine it to win the whole thing in May. Top 10 maybe, but winner?

Exactly i agree with this completely i feel like this about a lot of songs this year so it will be curious to see what happens in may

 

[LoveTw]

This ballad is too production perfect to win Eurovision. But I can't see other entries winning at the moment. So who knows?

What does that even mean, ‘too production perfect’?
