This performance made me realise how little the Netherlands and Germany normally 'interact', even though we're neighbouring countries. I love this🤗🇳🇱🇩🇪

[@stardust9831]

It's a bit of a pity actually. It used to be very common a few decades ago (Rudi Carrell, Herman van Veen, Linda de Mol etc) but somehow it's less of a thing now... I guess it's because the Dutch entertainment industry is now big enough to stand on its own legs, so collaborations are not really "needed" anymore. But it's very nice to see that is does still happen sometimes!

[@Sahi_PK]

I blame the fact that (the western part of) the Netherlands is mainly focused on the USA than on Europe. Both in news as in entertainment.

[@ehmha3641]

Well I do think we interact. The Netherlands brought so many great Entertainers from Heintje to Rudi or great musical singers and TV-Shows. Ilse infact is part of this years"Sing mein Song" season. She also competed in the freeESC last night. Jan Smiet is quite famous here aswell also since his childhood and now as a part of Klubbb3. Living in the border region I think we interact quite well. One of the issues is though, that so many dutch speak german yet in Germany no one really speaks dutch yet we both seem to understand both languages quite well. But it's true, in Germsny we focus on Austria and Switzerland more than on the Netherlands and Belgium. I hope that this crisis brings us closer together again. Now that we've got a taste of how much we miss each other and that we shouldnt take it for granted to cross borders daily without even noticing and how much we have achieved looking back on where we came from.

[@ehmha3641]

@@Sahi_PK Can't blame them....Germany is rather lame in entertainment😂without the Netherlands it would be even worse as you have taught us so much in that field.

You could have just have them sing in English: also a European language. ;) (I know I’m being nit-picky but it will never stop being weird to me how British people consider themselves not a part of Europe.)

This is my mom's favorite song. She would sing it to me as a lullaby when I was a baby. I watched live stream with my mom. The moment when the song start, mom started singing. She was very happy. Thank you ESC and thank you Germany, Ilse Delange, Michael Schulte. :)

@@Blackdragend1 I don't agree. The song, the voice and the presentation Ben Dolic was only low average. None of his presentations has impressed me. I think there are much better singers in Germany. And yes, they should not present a standard international song, but something special in the local language German. One of my favorite eurovision songs is still euphoria. It is dynamic in pitch, volume, no even splashing.
