LET'S REACT TO THE JUNIOR SONG FESTIVAL 2024 SONGS // THE NETHERLANDS JUNIOR EUROVISION

[@maartenfassaert]

this is what happens when robert dorn (holding on to you, la festa, best friends) doesn’t compose a competing JSF song for us 🥲🇳🇱

[@filipgrmsek]

2021 wasn't the strongest either, and his song finished 2nd... But yeah, he has the feeling for it

[@Thoothje_Gewooniets]

⁠@@filipgrmsekthat’s the wrong one you mentioning 2021 was Ayana with maya sugu ao ne and it finished 19th that year.

[@filipgrmsek]

@@Thoothje_Gewooniets nope, I'm mentioning JSF songs, and a group SH!NE performed a song A Million Little Things, placing 2nd in JSF final

[@Roastedbread]

It’s still weak. If Rachel with Teenager would have been among the songs this year, she would still have won with a landslide and that song is from 2011!! AVROTROS should step up their game.

[@Thoothje_Gewooniets]

@@Roastedbread that is very true. I def do agree it’s one of the weaker ones.

[@TheHorselessCantor]

Not enough people are talking about how Music is a song of references to past JSF entries and common songs, while still being its own unique song. It's amazing on so many levels 🎉

[@Flubienne1674]

I think Stay Tuned with 'music' is definitely the right pick out of these four songs. I like that it changes up a lot, that keeps the song interesting to me. I really hope it makes it through.

[@UgolinoV42346]

But AVROTROS should let Stay Tuned rewrite one of the verses.

[@stevenwilliams3038]

I also still listen to La Festa. Luna was Robbed

[@UgolinoV42346]

Luna should've been involved in writing "La festa". Otherwise, Junior Songfestival breaks the rules of Melodi Grand Prix Junior.

[@markdekker3047]

indeed luna was robbed

[@viennashelby70]

The build up of Ruben's song to the chorus is like Tattoo. That is why you recognise it

[@UgolinoV42346]

Ruben should rewrite "Colors of My Heart" ASAP.

[@SC-bq7ob]

Music is good I think it should be their pick

[@UgolinoV42346]

…and the EBU should require revamped lyrics to be written by the participants.

[@NLLadaniva]

I agree, i feel like ‘In M’n Prime’ is a little bit too much about dating for a kids contest😅

[@ramyanisarkar4974]

I guess this is what happens sometimes when you have boys and girls in the same group 😂

[@SemmyWakker]

This, like it’s a great song but for after Eurovision to bring out

[@NLLadaniva]

@@SemmyWakker Agreed!

[@tomi9-9]

Veronika is very Jesc -friendly, its my fav

[@muddyfeet69]

same for me ♥ Veronika has some sort of international charisma.

[@UgolinoV42346]

🇳🇱 #Netherlands: Veronika Must Rewrite "Dreams Are Built to Last" For #JuniorEurovision 2024

[@Nika_413]

Veronika comes from Ukraine where there is war. she fled to the Netherlands when the war started. She won Ukrainian Got Talent and was in the preliminary rounds of the JSF in Ukraine. So she was already a real star in Ukraine

[@jesc._lover1]

Music for win❤❤❤❤❤

[@UgolinoV42346]

Should Stay Tuned represent the Netherlands at Junior Eurovision 2924, the EBU should require revamped lyrics to be written by the group, because, to me, much of the lyrics are similar to the JSF 2020 common song "All You Need Is Music".

[@Sk88p]

The last was indeed the best. But I did like the prime song too. Risky song but they managed to keep it somewhat kid friendly 😅 The last song is definitely a party song

[@yaradenhooglander5490]

Music stay tuned 🏆

[@kickvandeloo8266]

Hey Noosh! The first Music Video is out for the Netherlands. The other music videos will come out the upcoming days. I hope you will react to those :)

[@AngelaNkosi-y9k]

Love Hidde/Saïda/Dunhya en Stay Tuned

[@markdekker3047]

stay tuned need to win in spain banger

[@ElisaK-ye6qv]

I am from the netherlands🇳🇱 and i hope that veronika go to the finale in Madrid i hope it so i love her❤❤

[@maartenschroeten5998]

1 in mn prime, 2 veronica, 3 ruben, 4 stay tuned

[@jake_outdid]

StayTuned is the best imo

[@ramyanisarkar4974]

My top 4 4. Ruben A three way tie because i love all three of them, and would be happy with either ❤

[@Maypril1894]

My favorite is Ruben, but I don't think he will be selected. He has a beautiful voice and I love the message of "Colors of my heart" ❤🖤💛🤎🧡💚💙💜 Maybe the simple production is because they wanted to focus on his voice? I think the song could be amplified with a touching, emotional staging/video. My (expected) ranking 1. Stay Tuned 2. Hidde, Dunyah & Saīda 3. Veronika 4. Ruben My wishful ranking 1. Ruben 2. Stay Tuned 3. Hidde, Dunyah & Saīda 4. Veronika

[@TheHorselessCantor]

Ruben wanted a "When You Believe" style ballad, that song and Colors of My Heart build in similar ways

[@Thoothje_Gewooniets]

The thing that’s familiair to you at Rubens song is probably the melody. For me it reminds me of andrè hazes (senior) genre. A famous Dutch folk singer.

[@esckickie]

The music videos are out for the Netherlands!

[@wendycoolen9975]

The music video's are out now

[@DanuStefanAndrei]

1.Dreams are built to last 2.Music 3.Colors of my hear 4.M'n prime ( is catchy but is inapropriate)

[@TheHorselessCantor]

IK the lyrics of In M'n Prime might seem weird to some but the "I like both boys" means as friends... she knows she doesn't have to pick a bf yet and wants to enjoy this stage of life. I still agree that Music and Dreams Are Built to Last are better choices tho

[@Thoothje_]

As a native this is how I would like it to come out , but I think it’s 50/50 between Veronica and Stay tuned with - music. Veronika probably gets a lot of sympathy votes. I think both songs are pretty catchy a, but for dreams are built the last it’s easier to get the vibe if you are fluent in Dutch for the other song it isn’t that necessary

[@DanuStefanAndrei]

@@Thoothje_ So im not Dutch but i'm Luxemburgish and Dreams are built to last i think is the most childish song that I Found and is perfect for jesc bc I love you from Sandra Valero was a childish song and those two are so alike

[@DanuStefanAndrei]

@@TheHorselessCantor Yess is more like a Child contest good option

[@orsimoni]

I love Dreams Are Built to Last, and Music, so between this two pls Netherlands

[@gabyleentvaar4444]

Im from Nederland And i love them all but my 1st is Veronika dreams are billd to last 2nd is music from stay tuned 3rd is i cant pick 😮😮😮

[@FernandoMuller727]

the level this year is worse than the last year.... My top this year is.... 1 Veronika 2 Stay Tuned 3 The Ballad 4 The 2 boys and the girl

[@FernandoMuller727]

maybe i change and i will put the ballad in 4 and the group of three in 3

[@dorianforster6758]

My top 4: 1. Stay Tuned // Music 2. Dunyah, Hidde, Saïdah // In M’n Prime 3. Veronika // Dreams Are Built to Last 4. Ruben // Colors of My Heart

[@EviPronk]

Yahh

[@surayaempelen]

I'm going to the big JSF concert in Rotterdam on October 26. They will perform with all former dutch finalists from recent years . Ralf is coming too :))

[@stevenwilliams3038]

I do think both Germany and Netherlands NF's haven't been particularly strong this year also I dont like how none of the Songs are Fully in Dutch

[@Thoothje_Gewooniets]

I’m a native this and I can actually see this happen maybe Stay stuned and Veronika switch , because I think she will get a lot sympathy votes

[@stevenwilliams3038]

@@Thoothje_Gewooniets Stay Tuned and Veronika are so close in my rankings that sometimes they switch and they have a couple times

[@Thoothje_Gewooniets]

@@stevenwilliams3038 Veronika a refugee from Ukraine. Came to the Netherlands 2 years ago and now she speaks fluent Dutch without any slight accent. If I hear here talk I would never have guessed that she’s originally from ukraine 🇺🇦. The build up is really nice especially if your a native. The background of story is has a beautiful meaning. It’s kinda her life story about the war and how it impacted her and her families lives.

[@franseph]

Junior Songfestival is in their Genericfestivalen era 😭 anyways, remember is not the kids' fault, they're really talented

[@UgolinoV42346]

…but the songwriters are to blame. In fact, the EBU should limit adults's involvement in songwriting to no more than 50%.

@@Thoothje_Gewooniets i actually think 2015 was better and 2021 there was one good song a million little things this one has no good songs

[@Nandor92]

Hi, have you seen Jerry Heil's new mini album? There is also video on Virgin Maria song which you'll absolutely LOVE!

[@UgolinoV42346]

AVROTROS should _not_ assign specially-made songs anymore, and whoever the winner of Junior Songfestival 2024 should be allowed by the broadcaster to rewrite his or her corresponding song. The EBU needs to limit adults' involvement in songwriting to a maximum of 50%. I think after this year AVROTROS should make a new national final that limits adults' songwriting credits to no more than 50%, because assigning specially-made songs breaks the rules of Melodi Grand Prix Junior in Denmark, and formerly Norway. No more songwriters over 18 years of age for Junior Songfestival from 2025 onwards. Internally-selected songs in other countries should be partly written by the participants as well.

[@Gwniemand22]

[@graffiti4547]

tbh i really dislike pretty much all those songs. most of the lyrics are cringe, the production is just too junior even for junior eurovision, and like looking back at what quality songs we've had in this contest in the past years, those are just extremely mid

[@UgolinoV42346]

To me, the current songwriting format for Junior Songfestival breaks the rules of Melodi Grand Prix Junior. I'm convinces upcoming singers in the Netherlands aged 9 to 14 did not ask to have songs written for them. Maybe the EBU should require whoever represents the Netherlands at Junior Eurovision 2024 to rewrite part of his or her song.

[@Thoothje_]

I’ll name here a list of the best entry songs the Netherlands has sent in over the years to Junior Eurovision. Disclaimer these are my personal favorites. 2009 Ralf Mackenbach - Click Clack (1st) 2007 Lisa , Amy , Shelly (now og3ne) - Adem in adem uit. (11th) 2011 Rachel Traets - Teenager (2nd) 2012 Femke Meines - Tik Tak Tik (7th) 2012 Alessandro - Una Chica Especial (best song to never win the national finals) 2013 Mylène & Rosanne - Double me (8th) 2014 Julia - Around (8th) 2016 Kisses - Kisses and dancin (8th) fun fact Stefania who represented Greece 🇬🇷 in Eurovision in 2021 is one of the girls on stage. 2023 Sep and Jasmijn holding on to you (7th) 2022 Luna la festa (7th) 2019 Matheu Dans met jou (4th)

[@markdekker3047]

veronika for the win beatyful song and very catchy

[@crabrave8979]

Ehh no

[@fleurvanhooff4128]

Hey noosh! I dont know if you still like her but NOA KIREL dropt a new song called ANI (wich means i/me or i am) you should check it out!

[@starkoo]

Robert Dorn should have written the song for Veronica. It really is a missed opportunity. Especially because she fled from Ukraine. I think Stay Tuned // Music narrowly wins the national final. The song My prime just comes across as very annoying, they just end up last. And then Ruben's ballad doesn't work for the Netherlands. Veronica remains my choice because she is so fortunate! Must be strange if the Netherlands wants to win this year, but well 2022 2023 they were the favorite, they never won the festival once. Ralf vibe missing!

[@TheHorselessCantor]

unfortunately after the whole Joost situation Robert Dorn said no more ESC songs... and I guess that extended to junior

[@UgolinoV42346]

Veronika should've gotten permission from AVROTROS to write "Dreams Are Built to Last", so I'm gonna accuse AVROTROS of violating the rules of Melodi Grand Prix Junior in Denmark, and formerly Norway, the later making a new national final although I want Josefine and Oskar to go to Junior Eurovision.

[@alekmak4522]

Veronika or Stay Tunned

[@Fulenn08]

The lyrics from in mn prime are... intreresting...

[@Copyrightbreaker22]

I'm sorry as someone who is Dutch I can't stand the mixing of Dutch and English. They should stop doing that also less generic songs make something super Dutch with little to no autotune to have a sliver of a chance of winning

[@UgolinoV42346]

AVROTROS should also stop assigning specially-made songs.

[@Iris-f2j]

Veronika you can do ittttt ❤

[@dansingdaisy]

I am between Veronika and Stay Tuned. The trio’s song isn’t appropriate for JESC, and Ruben’s song feels too boring.

[@Thoothje_Gewooniets]

Think so too

[@SemmyWakker]

I love Ruben but hsd is only populair cause Hidde Saïda and dunya are so lovely. But I feel like there song is a song they should have brought out after jsf

[@Koalaasmr238]

I think that Ruben or stay tuned will win

[@sannedenengelse1068]

Could u maybe react to OG3NE. They are AMAZING. They are 3 sisters and with Covid they couldn’t see each other cause Amy only has 1 long. So they made home isolation videos. They all filmed their parts. But they couldn’t hear each other. So it’s really good. One of their home isolation was the song Jolene from dolly. She even reacted to it ❤❤❤❤

[@CharlotteBogi]

Well I’ve got my rating 1. In m’n prime idk i just want to dance when I hear it 2. Dreams are built to last it has amazing vocals and I just love it 3. Colors of my heart it’s very much musical and he is a great singer 4. Music I just kind of think it gets annoying This is my opinion so don’t come at me okay😂

[@SemmyWakker]

I really hope Veronika or Ruben will win cause I love there voices. But I think stay tuned will win or maybe hsd but I thing stay tuned had the most Eurovision song

[@UgolinoV42346]

…and 2024 should be the last time AVROTROS assigns specially-made songs.

[@SemmyWakker]

@@UgolinoV42346 they have always helped with writing the song tho not one song is written by a candidate only + if they do that they couldn’t really make the videos they do now
