Douwe Bob represents The Netherlands at the Grand Final of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm with the song Slow Down

[@RafaelitCa]

One of the only songs this year that doesnt care about the choreograpies, the lights and the effects. The song and the singer is just enough. I have to say that this should have done higher but 11th place is very good. BE PROUD DOUWE.

[@Floemp]

Hungary.

[@rensvanhalteren4017]

+Rafaela Ps That's true

[@svenus1211]

+Rafaela Ps Thank you !!

[@bettinatina9748]

and Hungary..?

[@RafaelitCa]

+Bettina Tina yes and Hungary but I prefer this song, I love the melody

[@Sufk0nijn]

Anyone watching all the Dutch tracks from past years? Anouk, common linnets, Douwe Bob, Waylon and off course our winner Duncan. They were all very good.

[@abdirihimsuleiman2022]

Yeah

[@artofnemesis]

You bet!

[@thesnesgeek]

You dutch people do country really, a swedish fan like me want’s well made country music in Melodifestivalen.

[@MrsMupp93]

11th place... That's ridiculous. One of the better songs last night, I predicted him to make it atleast top 8. He certainly won me over, very charming man!

[@MrsMupp93]

***** Congrats on a great entry! Yeah... Didn't expect Ukraine to win of all countries, though.

[@nicacroes1897]

+MrsMupp93 thank you from Holland or how she say iT in Holland dankjewel uit Nederland

[@MrsMupp93]

+Lisa Beltman That depends on one's taste, I guess. This type of music is right up my alley but I will definitely give his other songs a listen. :)

Only because he thought he had a chance to win and he thought he had a strong song? He had one of the best songs, and great vocals:) But yeah thats your opinion, i think he isn't a mouther at all

With no doubt, the best planned break in Eurovision history.

[@thesnesgeek]

That break was such a genius move. Not only was it extremly atmospheric and cozy, it also gave the audience a chance to learn more about Douwe Bob.

Douwe Bob heeft een mooie 11e plek weten te behalen maar het had wat mij betreft een veel hogere plek moeten zijn! Ik vond het nummer van Douwe Bob mooi afsteken tegenover veruit de meeste andere liedjes. Voor mij was het als een fijne frisse wind.
