![]() Song: Ik ben verliefd (Sha la lie) Writer(s): Pierre Kartner Composer(s): Pierre Kartner |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
This year it doesn’t look better at all. To be precise it looks bitterly. From time to time, countries do send joke songs to Eurovision, like the singing Turkey from Ireland. But the Dutch probably don’t take “Ik ben verliefd” as a joke – they take it seriously. The pre selection was a nightmare due to the fact that there was only this specific song and five candidates competed for the best rearrangement of a song with a carnival-beer-tent-character. Even the judge Mr. Eurovision Johnny Logan as a juror could not hide his disappointment. The composer Pierre Kartner was well known in the 70’s and famous for his Smurf song, but this has been ages ago and the Smurf song is classes away from this year’s Dutch entry. How can the Netherlands send a song to Eurovision, which is only appealing to a special interest group? The Netherlands have mainly sent good quality songs to Eurovision like “Vrede”, but how do they think they will pass the Semi Finals or even imagine winning? |
