Stick It Up Your Juries!


The Schlagerboys are LOVING this moment when the Dutch televoting public completely ignored the so-called professional jury members AND the 40-odd foreigners who had all voted for the other two boring songs in the Superfinal and plumped instead for Joan's singa-longa guitar schlager anthem! And it makes it even more fabulous that Joan's dressed in an outrageous American Indian outfit and completely upstaging Pearl and Ivan just by standing there.

I consider myself a schlagerboy but I disagree about this, I don't like the winner song... I'd have prefer Chocolatte to this... Even more, I like Pearl more than this...Not everyone was loving "that moment"

I love it. The other two songs were sung really well but the themes of the songs were a bit dated. Very 1994 ballad. I'm glad Joan's won with her Cher lookalike face and Indian headdress. She should get herself noticed on the night and hopefully the Netherlands will get through to the final. Judging by the competition so far, that shouldn't be difficult!

If only they'd had this back in 1982, to prevent the ultimate travesty of The Millionaires being robbed of their win, with the fantastic Fantasy Island, instead of that hopeless Van Dijk imbecile, with the dreaded Jij en ik. You and I indeed !

EUROVISION MIRACLE

It was really my favourite and I was so annoyed by the jury votes, some even giving her 0 points... but it was so rewarding when in the end she won it all.

really love the song, so simple and innocent. and it's catchy as well :)
