The Netherlands has won the Eurovision Song Contest for the fiirst time in 44 years!
The song was a bookmaker favourite to win but of course you never know whether you can trust that. We always watch the Eurovision Song Contest every year (kinda, while multi-tasking on laptops and ipads and phones). Winning, even if there are so very many iffy songs, still is a huge deal. This has been one of the better Dutch entries of the past years..
… and even though I haven’t been following all of this hullaballoo closely at all, I’ve got to admit to being stoked about a Dutch win!
Congratulations, Duncan Laurence!

Some of them become huge hits in Europe (like “Euphoria” from a few years ago). Apparently Duncan’s song has already been a bestseller, I know that it’s been playing on the Dutch radio quite a but. So yeah, it doesn’t hurt winning this. 🙂
