This is one of the most beautiful Eurovision entries ever and so underrated

[@Christine-rg2ev]

It is my favourite as well. I love JB Meijers' solo.

[@albertynaosinska9073]

Couldn't agree more. I sing it to myself so often and come back to it again and again. It seems to go with me through life.

I wouldn't call second place underrated, but it is a beautiful song. I love the way their voices harmonize!

Ilse: Coach of Duncan in The Voice Of Holland Ilse: Becomes 2nd in Eurovision Ilse: Chooses Duncan to represant The Netherlands in Eurovision 2019 Duncan: Wins Eurovision. *darn Ilse is amazing*

[@johanneke3510]

Agree..exept her own carrier.. that's over. To old 😂

[@1992girlll]

Bulshit it is not Ilse who became second at the eurovision 2014 it was Ilse and Waylon. Without Waylon it would have never been that high. And Duncan wrote the song and sang the song so it is 100% Duncan who won the eurovision. And it is not that difficult to discover a talent before they become famous. For example I knew that One Direction would become big when there where only in the first liveshow of the x factor. Where is my award for knowing that?

[@downtown82]

@johanneke At least Ilse knows her English grammar... Go back to school Johanneke.

[@1992girlll]

@Bella The Bunny's Channel I know but what I said it is not very difficult to discover talent. She didn't write the song, she didn't perform the song, she is not even his official manager so how is this a here accomplishment?

I'm very happy to hear that, I think it's an absolute masterpiece. In the Netherlands the song was popular at first but usnt played anymore, which is quite a shame.

This is the big injustice with the contest, and it will keep happening every year it's held!

[@Olamellamoalex]

+Meint Veldman A 2nd place for a song that was completely anti-eurovision and the bookies put 30th on the bets is an amazing achievement nonetheless and shows that there are people with criteria among eurovision viewers.

[@JayDeeIsMyName]

+Anke Agasi IT'S A DUDE. He was wearing his beard, so he's a dude, that's it. I have no problem with transgenders whatsoever and I'm fine if a guy wants to become and be a woman, but don't go out on me by stating 'it's a girl with a beard', because that's where I drop the line.

Music never win Eurovision Contest , It does a image. But songs like this always be played , winners only have fame 2-3 months.

[@floorbrother]

in almost every chart in europe this song achieved better rankings than the actual winner. there's no doubt about that this should have won this year's eurovision..

[@PhysalisFranchetti]

You need to think about the audience profile (amongst other things), before coming to a conclusion like 'there is no doubt......'. Eurovision attracts viewers of all ages (you can tell that this is the case since 50% of the jury are over 45). Charts, however, particularly downloads and particularly singles are the domain of the young.....The most popular song as judged by Eurovision audiences isn't necessarily the most popular song as judged by 20 year olds & younger.

[@wiessiew9853]

PhysalisFranchetti Exactly.

[@TrailBlazer65]

It even charted all the way down here in in Australia!

[@DylanNes]

Austria sucked. This was the true winner, no doubt.

@Daniëlle Snitjer Thanks. But actually, I didn’t want to know and I don’t want to remember. The „woman with a beard“ is actually a crossdresser. She’s a he with the artist name of „Conchita Wurst“ (Wurst meaning sausage in German) and his real name is Thomas and something. I’m pretty sure you can google it.

[@petropavlovskkamchatskiy1917]

The Netherlands were robbed in the Eurovision that year. They were by far the best song. I love how The Netherlands never does any 'show', just pure good songs. It's good to see nations like Ireland and The Netherlands not resorting to embarrassing 'acts' to win it.

[@starry2006]

I'd put Start a Fire at the top, this second maybe based on the live (the studio performance I don't like). And Ireland resorted to a turkey a few years ago, plus Jedward.

[@petropavlovskkamchatskiy1917]

starry2006 I think you missed the point with both 'Dustin the Turkey' and Jedward. It was poking fun at the other nations that were using silly acts to win and mentioning all the nations in the contest in order to win points. I think Sweden and the UK were the only ones to get that joke. It was lost on the rest of Europe. 'Start a fire' was a very good song too. Agree with you there. But it wasn't, in my opinion, as good as this one, but it was better than the winner.

[@erra__0727]

[@SilverStrumer]

Really? LOL Dutch need more faith in themselves

[@MaartenKok]

SilverStrumer Well, we're slightly manically-depressed as a country. Same with our football, everyone thinks they're a better coach than the guy with the job, yet when we're actually at a championship we're all proud as hell if we win anything :P This song lacks a bit of a climax, but its innate quality is so addicting....

[@DavudShirvani94]

Yesterday I voted for the Netherlands, and will vote on Saturday. This is a masterpiece! Please, win this competition! Loves from Azerbaijan.

[@s.leochapman417]

The Netherlands is becoming a great Eurovision revival story. From not qualifying for the final for nine consecutive years, to a howling return to form with Anouk in 2013, then this superb near miss (which should have won) in 2014, followed by a well deserved victory in 2019. Delighted Ilse was Duncan's mentor too! A country delivering true quality at Eurovision, not brash gimmickry. A welcome change in every respect.

Still think this is the best song never to win. I listen to this on my playlist all the time. So much class.

[@potatoloverx3]

Finally, this year, the Netherlands finally won Eurovision. Never got over this song not winning.

Real winners in 2014. Its 2021 and I'm still listening to this beautiful song

[@paidatomriehuja]

Super dat Nederland er weer bij is! Van ons krijgen ze zowiezo weer 12 punten. Zo mooi en zo sereen dit nummer!

[@relu1010]

My favorite Eurovision song of all times :)

[@morbidsearch]

2011 - Last place in the semi final 2012 - 15th place in the semi final 2013 - 9th place in the final 2014 - RUNNERS UP! Wow, Netherlands, you went from last to second in just three years. I'm impressed!

[@morbidsearch]

Joey Van Der Kruk Not necessarily, but it does show it roughly

[@bibombl1998]

Awsome isn't it? :D

[@247duck]

agre should have won

Having been a fan of this entry since it's release, I am still so blown away by the simplicity and effectiveness of this performance. Everything has been so well thought through; the graphics, the outfits, the staging, the vocals and the camera shots - it all adds to and compliments the song, rather than distract from it. The Netherlands' entry has been a grower on me from when it first was revealed, and I firmly believe that this could sneak in to the top 10. It all depends on the starting position it receives. I really hope this song does well in the final; The Netherlands is really getting a name for itself as the class of Eurovision. Fingers crossed for a great finishing position in the final, good luck from the UK.

i've heard in Shownieuws (a dutch show) that the bookmakers placed The Netherlands 3th in the final :D

[@Jesperrr2306]

They'll be in the second part of the final, so that's already a good thing

[@lauriechalker4454]

DEFINITELY SHOULD'VE WON !!! Miles ahead of anything else , this band is so good hope they get the international recognition they deserve.

[@ESCTom]

If you want a masterclass in faceography and eyeography - this is a masterpiece

[@AlSpider84]

It was simply magical. The song touches me the first time I heard it and became my favourite one right away but yesterday it moved my feelings. Every time I watch this brilliant camera work and that simple but wise stage production surrounded their talent I get goosebumps. Everything was perfectly thought. Congratulations The Netherlands. You are the winners for me, deserve to end up as high as possible on Saturday. This is first class. A fan from Spain.

[@Bax256]

My very favourite this year, gonna definitely vote for it on Saturday. I really hope The Netherlands wins: such a beautiful song and also I'm so done with all these fights between these "presumed" winners. Best regards from Italy and good luck :)

[@gino5006]

Ilse you did it this year. Proud

[@mmaantj]

Gino well, kind of at least

[@zhamilyakussainova3038]

I guess this song was too good for Eurovision...Well done, the Netherlands, still listening to this song at least once per month, 5 years and counting. That what power of the song is!

[@itsElian]

One of the best, and definitely best performance of the night. Proves that you don't need a lot of crap going on in order to get people's attention, magic happened in stage. Definitely in my top 3 from USA.
