That's what people don't get here, they always blame it on bloc voting and the like. The fact of the matter is that the Dutch pop music industry is absolutely dreadful, and that is the sole reason why we have the record that we do.
Yeah, pretty much. I'm always very surprised that some artists think it's smart to release and promote their tracks outside of Holland. Almost every single one of them fails, because while subpar music might sell well here, it will definitely fail when it doesn't have homefield advantage.
I still maintain we should be sending something intentionally awful, we should've send John Ewbank and the Koningslied.
