Tears at S10: ‘My winner by far’ | Culture

“You have done an absolutely great job,” writes Duncan Laurence, who managed to write the song festival in his name in 2019, on social media. “Fuck, it was good.”

Someone else says: “The performance was so intense and fragile that tears almost took over. Hugely grand to expose your soul so pure and pure for an audience of millions. Deep respect for S10.” Another writes: “The last twenty seconds of the Netherlands brought tears to my eyes.”

Pride

A Polish Eurovision fan says he is very proud of S10. “I couldn’t be more proud of her right now. She was so close to tears by the end of her performance. She is by far my personal winner. Let’s see if the audience reacts positively to a song in Dutch.”

According to a viewer in Portugal, the Netherlands always guarantees quality. “S10’s voice is so clear and her emotions are going to help her vote. A beautiful language, melody and reference. Elegant and simple, but not to be forgotten. Secretly a contender.”

Song festival commentators Cornald Maas and Jan Smit are also very pleased with S10’s performance. “Very stable and well sung,” said the singer afterwards. “I’m sure she knows how to sing herself in Dutch in those European hearts. Goosebumps all over the place.” Maas agrees: “And she also felt more and more senang this week when singing her song.”
