2009 Dutch Selection - 1st February 2009
Back to the NSF for Netherlands.... but who's this that entering??
NOS and TROS have jointy announced that the group de Toppers will represent The Netherlands in Moscow and will take part in a traditional Dutch Song Contest - to be held on 1st February.
They are very popular in The Netherlands and regularly fill the Amsterdam Arena which holds approx 50000 people so we know that they will draw in the dutch public - but as to whether or not they will hold the imagination of the European audience, only time will tell.
They have chosen the following 6 songs to get to the NSF where televoting and provincial Juries will pick the winner
| Jury | TV | Total | Psn | |
| Our night | 28 | 13 | 41 | 6 |
| No one loves me like you | 36 | 21 | 57 | 3 |
| Shine | 48 | 201 | 249 | 1 |
| Angels of the light | 60 | 130 | 190 | 2 |
| Everybody can be a star | 22 | 21 | 43 | 5 |
| Three is the magic number | 16 | 34 | 50 | 4 |
Fascinating Facts : NOS is one of many dutch broadcasters..... time to give someone else a go?
They started off so well with wins in 57 and 59 - then nothing till 69 and totally nothing since 1975. The Dutch seem to have lost their way a bit... well, a lot actually!
Look and marvel....
