S10 ‘De Diepte’ REACTION | The Netherlands Eurovision 2022 REACTION | EUROVISION 2022

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Hey everybody! So what do you think of The Netherlands entry this year? Let me know in the comments below :-)

[@fatimazemzem9057]

I really hope this song gets into the finals. But usually weird songs will win. I hope many people will vote for quality. We dutch people are happy with this entry. Didn't expect it to be this good.

@@fatimazemzem9057 the Netherlands is in semi final 1 which is very weak and has a lot of wierd, quirky songs so this will definitely stand out against those.

S10's music has always been an exploration of her evolutionary path to mental health. From the age of 14, S10 was constantly in psychiatric hospitals. Some of the tracks on her debut EP ‘Antipsychotica’ and her second EP “Lithium” began with vocals that she recorded in her bedroom in a mental hospital using only the microphone on her headphones. For example, the song "Positief" talks about the 17 hours she once spent in solitary confinement in one such facility, and the “Lithium EP was so named because it was a drug she was prescribed to treat her bipolar disorder. In 2020, the Dutch radio station 3FM released a short documentary about the singer. The filmmakers followed S10 continuously throughout the year as she recorded music, performed live and talked about her path to peace and happiness. In a separate 2018 interview, she spoke at length about the shortcomings of treatment and social programs in the Netherlands and the costs associated with being in psychiatric institutions. "Children with psychological problems just don't have good help right now,’ she said. S10 has been involved in several events and initiatives dedicated to discussing and combating mental illness among the youth of the country, including organizing a concert for children with psychological problems. This song has some meaningful lyrics. You guys should hear this with lyrics.

I was walking around Washington DC today and listening to this song on repeat. The whole song is about sinking into your feelings, wallowing perhaps in the past and in our sadness but it was a great song to get lost in. Her voice is pretty haunting and it gave me the same kind of sad indie girl vibes as Growing Up is Getting Old from last year, which was my favorite song (VICTORIA was robbed and should have been top 5 for the beauty of that song.) This song is giving me similar vibes, so I can see it qualifying and maybe making top 10 if staged well.

S10: “This is a tribute to the sadness and memories that you carry with you. Everyone experiences difficult times in their lives. That's something we all have in common and I hope you will feel less alone when you listen to this song." She struggled with suicidal thoughts, the voices in her head and her troubled past in psychiatry.

[@ESCBangladesh]

Netherlands is so good ahhhhh!! I love her voice it’s just so captivating and the first time I listen to it I was just speechless and I didn’t expect Netherlands to send such a beautiful song & current song. At the moment, it’s my winner and I feel like internal selection are going to save this esc hopefully. Like you said I’m glad it’s not the typical Eurovision song/sounds like it’s made for Eurovision and it feels like something from her album and I feel like that really helps the song to stand out in Eurovision. I’m a bit worried about the staging visually wise cause it could get lost like Belgium in past years (2018 & 2019) but I’m sure it’ll be very good. Thank you Netherlands for such a good song in this weak Eurovision year. I feel like it’s already my first for me and I feel like it’ll just grow. (if I’m being honest, I was kind of scared for s10 as her songs are mainly hip hop/alternative or sometimes a ballad with like modernised sounds so I didn’t know what to expect today) Great Reaction Shane!

@@ShanesEurovisionReview I wish I had one friend in my "real" life who likes eurovision just like you..

[@ChrisEchoes]

I absolutely get what you mean with it sounding authentic. That is basically the turnaround that the Netherlands made x years ago by asking Anouk to represent us. Since then every artist that was asked / selected (we don’t have a national song contest anymore, thank God) was doing what they do best ie being the artist they are and doing the music they love. Even though last years entry didn’t so well the one thing you can’t ignore is the fact that it was a song that totally was his own artistic vision and connected with his authentic self. Like you, it wasn’t my favourite but I could see where it came from, it’s influences and I loved it that this side of multicultural Netherlands was represented. And like you I am at a loss why the U.K. simply doesn’t get it that this is the way to do Eurovision. Imagine London Grammar being the entry for the U.K., a name I drop for good reason because S10’s song reminds me of them. About here name: S10 comes from her real name which is Stien with tien being the word for the number 10. You pronounce “tien” as in ChrisTINE (the part in capital letters but with a silent E). Put the S in front of 10 and you get her name 😃

I think the reason why think this entry’s going to do well is it’s authenticity as you accurately spotted. Look at last year: top 2 jury Switzerland and France, top 2 televote Italy and Ukraine, all 4 song in native languages written by artists themselves rather than having team of Swedish producers trying to get Eurovision formula right. So I’m really liking this trend of Europe valuing authenticity, something UK need to start doing. Plus, the video already has 600k views in just one day, proving its already being received really well!

[@nalandatendar4212]

Wow, that was by far the very best review I heard (as I like the song so much I listened to about 30 yt reviews). S10 writes and sings themes like depression, anxiety, separation close to her heart. She is just giving a quality song to the public and will see how far it will come. It was nice to see that your happy face connected with the song after some seconds and that you are a deep listener.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Awwwwww Nalanda....thank you so much! That's really sweet of you to say. This Eurovision season I rarely have listened to an entry for the first time as I normally watch and react to national finals so I have heard the song before it is selected....so yeah I do struggle reacting to premier of of internally selected songs as on the one hand I want to listen to it and on the other no one wants to watch me listen to a song in silence for three minutes haha :-)

[@020nick6]

@@ShanesEurovisionReview quite the opposite, Shane! I love observing peoples faces while silently listening to the song. You can get quite a lot of information off the facial expressions!

[@ronaldderooij1774]

S10 stands for Stien (10=tien in Dutch, pronounced like "teen". Stien den Hollander (Stien the Dutchman) was in her youth plagued by mental issues like depression and psychosis and was admitted to a mental institution. She is only 21 and lived through things many people will not even have to live through in their entire lives. Her repertoire reflects that. She lives by hope and she's doing allright now. She also gives hope by music to youngsters with mental issues by giving a free concert for them during the COVID lockdown.

[@Phantas43]

Over here in the Netherlands, Dutch artists can send in songs to a commision board selected to review and then decide, more or less unanimously, that 'this or that song/artist' will go to Eurovision. It's almost completely SONG-based, rather than artist-based, i.e. where an artist is chosen and then a song is written. Since a couple of years, artists send in songs they wanna compete with, and then one song is chosen on a basis of several criteria, i.e. quality and credibility etc. It's an internal selection but like I said, not Artist-based. Sofar it's proven pretty successful :p

I am thinking the success of this at Eurovision will depend on the staging.

This song really blew me away, especially because of the lyrics and emotional voice. Even my mom liked it a lot (and we usually disagree!). If it has good staging, and her vocals are strong, it could perhaps end up in the top 10 this year. I think it's a grower, and even if you don't speak Dutch, you can still feel it!

Good song

[@lavendah42]

I get you on the authenticity thing, that does seem to be becoming more and more prevalent in Eurovision... not tailoring a song for Eurovision even if it is written for Eurovision. I had a little look into the artist before the song was released but didn't really have expectations. Being an internal selection and released now I can't see it being changed to include English (and agree it doesn't need it). I don't think it will have a problem getting into the final, and being in the first semi there's a little extra time for the ear-worm to get into people's heads. I thought it was quality but not pressing for my own top 10 on first listen... but it is a song I have found easy to put on repeat and just sink into. There's something almost entrancing about it. I think it's easily left side in the final and top 10 contender if the staging is done right (and I have a good feeling about that)

Tried to translate the song so you can understand The Deep Do you know the feeling, that your dreams are just dreams? Do you ever fear that, they will never come true. Cos it’s raining like there is no end. And I’m blind in all this darkness. You and me together, it was meant for always Tadada dadadadada, dada dadadadadada Tadada dadadadadada Oohoo aha Here in the deep, your name keeps ringing in my ears. Oohoo aha Oh my love what I am (supposed) to do I’m in deep, and I just cannot let you go. I’m underneath the table, and i hope that you will find me. I’v waited for a long time, Oh i feel just like a child. Biting on my nails, and i know you’ll do the same. But god what else can i do, when will this stop Tadada dadadadada, dada dadadadadada Tadada dadadadada da Oohoo aha Here in the deep, your name keeps ringing in my ears Oohoo aha Oh my love, what I am (supposed) to do. I’m in deep and I just cannot let you go. Nooo , noooo , nooo Cannot let you goooooo. Tadada dadadadada, dada dadadadadada Tadada dadadadada da Oohoo ahaa Here in the deep, your name keeps ringing in my ears. Oohoo aha Oh my love what I am (supposed) to do. I’m in deep, and I just cannot let you go.

Thank you :-)

The bookmakers don't like it, it dropped. I didn't like the song at the first listen but now after a few times listening, I really like it. We do want points this year from the public.

[@dvxdvx93]

Bookmakers only care about whether it will win, though. This probably isn't a winner, but it will do very well if staged right.

[@timv17]

It's weird because in the Eurovision Scoreboard App it's 3rd right now. But I think there's a glitch with the bookies page because two bookmakers have sent in two different odds for the Dutch song today.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I think it will rise again Nourah :-)

[@MrDutchboy75]

It’s on position 11 now so it’s climing.

[@frankconfurius8507]

Great reaction, we pronounce her name as S-teen, her name is Stien, tien = 10 in Dutch. What you said about Hooverphonics and their dark sound may not appeal to everybody, because it's is particular... What about Mäneskin then? About S10, I's such a catchy song with an international flair, you don't need to speak Dutch to get the message and feel. Great song. Keep up the good work, greetings from Holland 🇳🇱

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Hey Frank! Thank you for the kind words! Good point about Maneskin I guess.....not sure how to respond to that haha! Thanks for your support! Greetings from Italy :-)

[@Phantas43]

With regards to this year's entry, I didn't know her style beforehand, I did not even know the artist. After I heard she would be singing in Dutch I was worried, but still openminded. When I finally heard the entry, I was gobsmacked - it's sooo good. It's very much in the same vein as Duncan Laurence's Arcade, i.e. a sad song with deeper meaning, but personally I fall in love with songs like this - been a Hooverphonic fan for a couple of years, loved their entry last year. In the current playing field... I think we'll probably reach the final, doubtful whether we'll win especially in the current European climate (ahem *war* ) it's actually quite likely to think we can reach top 15, if not top 10 at least? :)

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

I think a qualification for sure with this one!

[@notcontentwithlosing]

I think I understand what you're trying to say. Let's compare it to movies; if you want something to get you fired up, and just straight up enjoy it with a smile on your face, you watch The Fast and the Furious. But something like Interstellar is not something that'll reward you immediately. But it will have you pay attention because of the depth of it. You need to rewatch it to make sure you fully understand the meaning and beauty behind it. And this song is like Interstellar. You really need time to fully learn to appreciate it.

[@armandodejonge5295]

No winner, for sure top ten quality!

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

[@tillylovesholland1161]

Her name is Estien, pronounced in English as Esteen. Tien means ten in Netherlandish. In Nederland as we call it we do not call it plural anymore like in English talking people. Since the countries Belgium and Luxembourg became independant de Nederlanden became Nederland but the English talking still call it lands and not land. Further you keep calling the people of Netherland Dutch which is not accurate as well. In the north of the US there is a community which they call Pensilvanian Dutch. Guess wgich old European language they speak? From which country? Exactly, Germany because Deutch meabs German in the German language, Like many other foreign words the Englisgh talking made it Dutch in strad of Deutch, like Breukelen became Brooklyn, Haarlem became Harlem and van Coevorden became Vancouver. to name a few. So please do not call us German abymore because we are not. We are Netherlandish, Hollandic or Batavarians.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

Thank you so much for this :-) xx

[@susanneekelund2425]

Something tells me that I should like this song, Ive listened to it a couple of times, but Im not to into it, I try, but It doesnt change. Of course its a nice song, interesting dynamics, its a little terapheutic or meditative, so I dont mind having it in the bakgrund on a playlist. At all. But it doesnt go further for me. I really tried so please be nice. Prob. just outside my top 10. It has interesting melody shiftings and she has a beautiful voice, but it just doesnt do the extra im sorry. Take care.

[@ShanesEurovisionReview]

For some people it does not POP enough and I accept that criticism….thanks for explaining your view clearly and rationally Susanne :-)

I love S10 and hope she does well. I do agree, the UK is definitely capable of producing a winner. There are many amazing artists in the UK, but the UK tries too hard with super poppy, typical Eurovision songs.

So I’m Dutch and I have been listening to her music for some time now, I am happy because it’s a good song but kinda disappointing because some of her songs are so much better to me. Still like the song tho! Her discography is very diverse. like she has rap, hiphop pop rock and then these kind of ballads.

[@littlejohnuk]

I am so non-plussed by this over-hyped song. I ignore other artists views on the song and try and listen with fresh ears. I listened at work using up non-wifi mbs as I was eager to find out more. I was sorely disappointed and have no intention of listening to it outside the semi final and probably final. When you say it wasn't written for Eurovision - I think this is trying to be so non-Eurovision that it's slyly very `Eurovision`. It's like poor person's modern Belgium.
