Listening in 2024. Absolutely class.
Ilse: Coach of Duncan in The Voice Of Holland
Ilse: Becomes 2nd in Eurovision
Ilse: Chooses Duncan to represant The Netherlands in Eurovision 2019
Duncan: Wins Eurovision.
*darn Ilse is amazing*
Agree..exept her own carrier.. that's over. To old 😂
Bulshit it is not Ilse who became second at the eurovision 2014 it was Ilse and Waylon. Without Waylon it would have never been that high. And Duncan wrote the song and sang the song so it is 100% Duncan who won the eurovision. And it is not that difficult to discover a talent before they become famous. For example I knew that One Direction would become big when there where only in the first liveshow of the x factor. Where is my award for knowing that?
@johanneke At least Ilse knows her English grammar... Go back to school Johanneke.
@Bella The Bunny's Channel I know but what I said it is not very difficult to discover talent. She didn't write the song, she didn't perform the song, she is not even his official manager so how is this a here accomplishment?
@@downtown82 'To back to school...' is correct grammar? Takes one to know one!
This is one of the most beautiful Eurovision entries ever and so underrated
It is my favourite as well. I love JB Meijers' solo.
Couldn't agree more. I sing it to myself so often and come back to it again and again. It seems to go with me through life.
I wouldn't call second place underrated, but it is a beautiful song. I love the way their voices harmonize!
Same to me - my "personal" winner of 2014
Absolutely 💯 percent 🎉
German Radio stations still playing this Masterpiece
They still play it in Denmark too :)
I'm very happy to hear that, I think it's an absolute masterpiece. In the Netherlands the song was popular at first but usnt played anymore, which is quite a shame.
It was quite popular in Poland too and they still play it sometimes to this day :)
Tasteful countries. Can't say the same about mine sadly. Here it's basically Fuego or Euphoria
Ilse is born in Almelo, 20 km from germany, in the Netherlands are whe the reserven Germans.
Netherlands may have won in 2019 but this song should have won 2014
Noel McGovern The netherlands were in 2014 the second one
still mad till this day we didnt win this. every year durring eurovision week you hear me complain at least once that 2014 shouldve been about music not about a beard
@@lotte1466 you are so right
I dont think so
Yess...!!!!
From denmark...!!
The BEST performance of ESC ever:
- (One of) the best songs
- The most beautiful woman
- The most magical performance
- The best stage design
Definitely in my top 5 XD
Netherlands was truly robbed in 2014. I still listen to this song, and its 2019.
Me too
WE, in Denmark....
The place that this song was played, WE are on..!!
Best ever...!!§§
Love You Dutch...!
And next year, and forward...!!!
The song is great, and she is really beautiful. ❤️
I loved Austria more coz it put on a performance of a lifetime, but I also truly loved this song because it almost made me cry the first time I heard it.
Interesting how I have forgotten so many Eurovision winners and their songs already after a month.. But this song I remember again and again. And I even come to listen to CZcams from time to time. There is something magical about this seemingly simple song... Thank you for this work of art!
The song, the artists, the set, the camerawork, this whole thing screams perfection.... and still it did not win.
This is the big injustice with the contest, and it will keep happening every year it's held!
+Meint Veldman A 2nd place for a song that was completely anti-eurovision and the bookies put 30th on the bets is an amazing achievement nonetheless and shows that there are people with criteria among eurovision viewers.
+Anke Agasi IT'S A DUDE. He was wearing his beard, so he's a dude, that's it. I have no problem with transgenders whatsoever and I'm fine if a guy wants to become and be a woman, but don't go out on me by stating 'it's a girl with a beard', because that's where I drop the line.
+Anke Agasi And because the song was really amazing and Bond-like. :D
z
Absolutely sucks that this didnt win... probably the best looking performance ever in Eurovision..
Lars van Nistelrooij I love her too, my favorite Eurovision act so far
I remember Poland scored this performance with 12 points 💛💚💙
Thx Im dutch❤️
@@cutememe8859 😊
Music never win Eurovision Contest , It does a image. But songs like this always be played , winners only have fame 2-3 months.
Beautiful. Been in Netherlands last year and fell in love with that country and dutch people. Since that I go back each time I can. Kisses from Spain!
Thank you!
❤
I fell in love with spain tenerife
haha thx, we love spain too! atleast i do. lots of kisses from holland
i really love spainn lol (im dutch)
2023 is almost over, but I am still captured by this masterpiece 🇳🇱
the real winner
Abigor115 Winner in what??? Boring people TO DEATH???
wieslawl59 you know its a Song Contest and not a freak show
Abigor115
Honey, this total rip-off should be disqualified in the first place. And secondly, this "song" has a quality of a funeral hymn, not a song for entertainment even by a long shot.
wieslawl59 Well i think you are alone in this....just read all comments "Honey"
wieslawl59
entertainment is more than just happy clap a long songs and colorful stage performances, this is entertainment aswell,but only for people with taste ofcourse
I love how The Netherlands always sends calm songs! You always have a litle bit of relaxing at Eurovision!
yes ( in from the netherlands )
2015...
Collision SC- Well, it clearly was more calm than Aina mun Pitaa...
firas alboni There aren't many songs that are more intense than Aina mun Pitaa, like maybe Andorra 2007 and Finland 2014
Collision SC- But at least they were hearable. :D
I've watched quite a few Eurovision song contests and this still stands out as one of the best songs to not win.
Till Cha Cha Cha ;)
@@Raffalinho you can't really compare those 2 songs
Facts
Still one of my all time favorite songs in Eurovision History !
The only classy, sober and elegant song.
Thank you, land of tulips.Thank you, my beloved Netherlands.
Good luck from Italy.
Yes indeed
Exactly!;)
Tnx from the netherlands
plz vote for them u are welcome in amsterdam 2015
tyrael90 I cant add better words :)
Last year Anouk and now The Common Linnets. I am amazed by The Netherlands. Thank you. 12 points again from Hungary :)
In 2012, Joan Franka was amazing too. But her song was soo underrated.
Deniz T.
The poor child was just too nervous, the staging was terrible (We learned A LOT since then) and that indian thing she was wearing.. ouch.. butthe song was sweet and lovely
Köszönöm!
Raymond Lombardy Szívesen ;)
Still listen to this song in amazement. Its about as close as you can get to perfection. It still sends shivers down my spine and still gives me goosebumps.
Hi from 2021, this one’s still magical
It truely is :)
Heck yes
in almost every chart in europe this song achieved better rankings than the actual winner. there's no doubt about that this should have won this year's eurovision..
You need to think about the audience profile (amongst other things), before coming to a conclusion like 'there is no doubt......'. Eurovision attracts viewers of all ages (you can tell that this is the case since 50% of the jury are over 45). Charts, however, particularly downloads and particularly singles are the domain of the young.....The most popular song as judged by Eurovision audiences isn't necessarily the most popular song as judged by 20 year olds & younger.
PhysalisFranchetti
Exactly.
It even charted all the way down here in in Australia!
Austria sucked. This was the true winner, no doubt.
TrailBlazer65,That's nice to hear i'm coming over to Perth next week,where do you live?
being Austrian I am proud of Wurst...but for me, my personal opinion, this song is better...would have been a deserving winner. :) sometimes the second place is better than the first. Love you Netherlands.
HeyImDominic i, as an austrian, agree with you. But i think its good enough that such an untypical song for this contest got the second place!
DeagleKlatsche das ist nicht sehr nett von dir!
Aww thanks. But Conchita's song just made a bigger impact.
Greetings from The Netherlands, and see you soon in Wien.
HeyImDominic love you too
HeyImDominic And this year the third place was the best song!
It's 2023 and i'm still listening to this song! Everything screams perfection the way they look at each other, the stage, the guitar solo ugh i just can't get enough of this song.. i already forgot what the Conchita Wurst song was about, but this song is still stuck in my mind.
Totally agree! 🥰
I wondered who won that year..ok rise like a phoenix wasn't bad, but yes, I voted for the netherland and I still listen to this song in 2023.
I can't believe it's been 10 years since this awesome song got robbed. 😭
By far one of the most underrated song from Eurovision
The real winner....one of the best song in Eurovision ever!!
Best performance of the night... and probably one of the best in Eurovision history.... so clean n perfect down to the last detail.... Loved it!
LOL you should have seen the reactions in their home country.. IT was BAD.. And now they all say its a good song..
ramon zwiggelaar well not all ramon. I thought it was a good song from the beginning.
Really? LOL Dutch need more faith in themselves
SilverStrumer Well, we're slightly manically-depressed as a country. Same with our football, everyone thinks they're a better coach than the guy with the job, yet when we're actually at a championship we're all proud as hell if we win anything :P This song lacks a bit of a climax, but its innate quality is so addicting....
Listening in 2023. Still love everything about this performance.
The Netherlands is becoming a great Eurovision revival story. From not qualifying for the final for nine consecutive years, to a howling return to form with Anouk in 2013, then this superb near miss (which should have won) in 2014, followed by a well deserved victory in 2019. Delighted Ilse was Duncan's mentor too! A country delivering true quality at Eurovision, not brash gimmickry. A welcome change in every respect.
And Waylon in 2018 omg 😍 He was underrated though :(
Dont forget glennis grace with my impossible dream.. should also have won!
s10 2022!
@@adranscyth1556 Was literally my favourite song this year!
From what I can see with the Dutch entries they tend to be the voice singers except for Glennis Grace which went on AGT
The Netherlands were robbed in the Eurovision that year. They were by far the best song. I love how The Netherlands never does any 'show', just pure good songs. It's good to see nations like Ireland and The Netherlands not resorting to embarrassing 'acts' to win it.
I'd put Start a Fire at the top, this second maybe based on the live (the studio performance I don't like).
And Ireland resorted to a turkey a few years ago, plus Jedward.
starry2006 I think you missed the point with both 'Dustin the Turkey' and Jedward. It was poking fun at the other nations that were using silly acts to win and mentioning all the nations in the contest in order to win points. I think Sweden and the UK were the only ones to get that joke. It was lost on the rest of Europe.
'Start a fire' was a very good song too. Agree with you there. But it wasn't, in my opinion, as good as this one, but it was better than the winner.
Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy me country are netherlands
Norway is the last years also really normal for eurovision. I loved Icebreaker and was sad it didn't qualify
Problem is the tempo change
Its ridiculous how good the live performance is.... Go Netherlands!
Clearly the best song in the 2014 eurovision!! 👍👍❤❤
🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱ALB
sadly they became second
Ik snap niet waarom de vrouw met de baard won en niet de common linnets😲😫😫🤨🤨🤨
Better than constita !!!
This is my Top-3 Eurovision in 2014 along with Poland and Belarus.
It's still pretty popular in Germany, even it was just the second place in the final :) they should've won actually
This is one of my favourite songs and performances ever
Why did this song not win eurovision 2014? Anne, Ireland
Nobody remembers which one won anyway...
@Daniëlle Snitjer Thanks. But actually, I didn’t want to know and I don’t want to remember. The „woman with a beard“ is actually a crossdresser. She’s a he with the artist name of „Conchita Wurst“ (Wurst meaning sausage in German) and his real name is Thomas and something. I’m pretty sure you can google it.
It's not "just the second place"... It was huge 2nd place ❤️
ye
Yesterday I voted for the Netherlands, and will vote on Saturday. This is a masterpiece! Please, win this competition! Loves from Azerbaijan.
i started to love this song after their live perfomance :)
*The most beautiful Eurovision song EVER!*
2011 - Last place in the semi final
2012 - 15th place in the semi final
2013 - 9th place in the final
2014 - RUNNERS UP!
Wow, Netherlands, you went from last to second in just three years. I'm impressed!
Joey Van Der Kruk
Not necessarily, but it does show it roughly
Awsome isn't it? :D
agre should have
won
Hearing this song was like taking a big breath of fresh air after had been underwater several minutes.
Awesome!
Can it get any better? I think not. Beautiful song. Love from Wisconsin, USA!
Was it played on country radio in Wisconsin?
Even 6 years after it´s still a crime that this song did not win!
the real crime is the song that won that year :(
@@rollercoaster478 yeah
IKR
My favorite! So beautiful! I will vote on saturday, good luck from Sweden!
thank u so much greetings and love from the netherelands i vote for Sweden
Thnx we need it
Thank you! I voted for Sweden at Tuesday and i'll vote tomorrow for Sweden again!! Hopefully our countries give each other 12 points
Masterpiece from The Netherlands. Second place, but was there any better than this?
TransatlanticMoments+ Why do they call the Netherlands Holland? IT'S CALLED THE NETHERLANDS!!!!
Holland means the exact same thing as the the Netherlands
wel een beetje laat
Calling the Netherlands Holland is like calling the UK England or calling the USA Texas.
Yes: Anouk
Nothing against Conchita but this always should have won....
The prettiest woman on this planet. Never seen anyone get there. Wow
The Netherlands we love, last year and this year. Love from Greece.
My winners without any doubt.
And mine!
Yeah Holland Love you Ima from holland
leon hof I'm from Spain but this song should have won.
Laurita V.g better than conchita's
Yes!! This is more... I don't know de correct word
Pure perfection. Sound, staging, and the melody.. it never gets old and almost immediately gives you that special romantic vibe which makes you dream, love, move. Maybe for some it’s way too melancholy.. but I believe it’s just ‘my cup of tea’, really
What a gorgeous song... should have won that year!!!
How did this not win
Im sick of people comparing this song to Every breath you take. Because it is a 3 chord song, the beginning sounds the same, but it is a totaly different song. Every musician knows that. I just totaly love it. Also the Chemistry between the two of them
This was such an unbelievable performance. As calm as the song is... my goodness, it’s SO full of energy! Gotta be the most understated song I’ve ever heard. That moment from 2:40 to 2:44? Pure magic. You can see the joy in the singers’ face, how they’re in the moment, enjoying making music.
This is the kind of contageous authenticity that truly moves people.
Best Eurovision song I've ever heard, too good to be there!
They've saved ESC 2014. Deserve the victory. Best of luck from Spain
I'm from Australia and I thought these guys were the winners, the best to me :( Best wishes from the land down under
Rise like a phoenix is a Eurovision song but Calm after the storm is a commercial song that people will listen to years after the contest
I’m from the UK and I agree this is truly beautiful to listen to! This is a huge favourite track in the Line Dance world. I ❤️ this 👏🏻👏🏻
I love it too 😍
I'm stephen 🌹
guys, I swear... I just teared up...
Thank you for believing in it, a final without this song wouldn't have the right to be called a ''final''.
Good Luck Holland. :')
I loved since they were selected! They are one of my favorites, and The Netherlands deserves a great place in the final, GOOD LUCK FROM SPAIN! :)
waylon has a record conttract at motown. Ilse de Lange has made many great albums just google them.
Margriet den Tulp Yeah I followed before she and Waylon were selected, and I love her songs: Hurricane and Miracle!
Yes Ilse and Waylon are fantastic! But spain is really good too :) wow Ruth has an amazing voice.
so thanks we love europa!
In 2014 I was young and I couldn't appreciate it, but now I understand its magic
My favourite Eurovision song ever. Without doubt should have won in 2014.
I love how they made this performance. The staging looks true to the song. All of it is perfect. I love the song and I love the Common Linnets
Your song is bad ass as well! Every single year Sweden seems to impress. Pretty awesome
Gerben Groot Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear that!! :)
Wanted these to win they were amazing! Love the country western style! Bit of a pity!
Im from the netherlands i also wanted them to win
Der wahre Sieger für mich....heute noch Gänsehaut....
If this competition was actually about talent and good music many more people would take it seriously
glad we won 2019 with real music, shouldve been thesame in 2014
@@lotte1466 inderdaad Lotte
It never was about music anyway.
αντίκα πολεμιστής Then why do we call it Eurovision Song Contest instead of Eurovision Uniqueness Contest?
both their and conchita's performances were great
We voted for this in Sweden! Great song!
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Song! This has got to win! The chemistry on stage is electric too! ... DOUZE points from Ireland xxxx Go Netherlands! - Amsterdam 2015!!
I’m a Mexican living in the US. This was the first Eurovision I streamed... I don’t even remember how I knew about it! But this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard anywhere!
The fact people thought this entry would just barely miss the final before the rehearsals and then they won the semi final and then got 2nd, truly a underdog story.
one of my favourite songs of this years eurovision. Greetings from Greece
Being from Ireland, I hope this shows us that if you send a beautiful song, great lyrics, but a simple stage set up, nothing flashy, you can possibly win! It was incredible! Sickened it didn't win.
This IS THE Nr. ONE in 2014 and I am from Austria!
Concita Wurst is an awesome artist and really great!!
But this Song is the best and I am happy that it is the Song of my Love and me. We Meet in 2014, 30th of August and we are still together 😁😍👏
Wat is dit toch een megaprestatie. Wat een harmonie, wat een camera werk, wat een beeldvorming, die micro! Die stille gitaarsolo
Hello from 2023 🫶🏻 I’m still listening to this masterpiece, hope it never dies, with love from Russia…..xo-xo
CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO THIS
Ik ben een Duitse en werken in Nederland en dit nummer is SEHR GEIL !!!
Real winners in 2014. Its 2021 and I'm still listening to this beautiful song
Still after years, this is the best Eurovision song ever! Great simple performance and beautiful song. They should win in 2014.
The biggest surprise of the evening for me. I found the studio version flat but this live performance was fantastic. They showed charisma and stage presence and sang beautifully, with emotion. Best semi-final 1 performance, IMO.
I'm happy that the Netherlands could qualify with a calm song again.
The song is simply great. Really refreshing through all the ballads and pop music and without big special effects.
It's completely silence while these two are performing. It's just.... Perfect! I believe every word they sing! These singers were absolutely my winners in 2014... How low can Eurovision sink?
Probably one of Eurovision's biggest ever surprise packages. Nobody seen this coming at the beginning of the week. Now Netherlands are a go to country at the contest now, great to see.
It was simply magical. The song touches me the first time I heard it and became my favourite one right away but yesterday it moved my feelings. Every time I watch this brilliant camera work and that simple but wise stage production surrounded their talent I get goosebumps. Everything was perfectly thought. Congratulations The Netherlands. You are the winners for me, deserve to end up as high as possible on Saturday. This is first class. A fan from Spain.
This needs to win 12 points from the UK! Its the best song in the contest! And it would be fun if the eurovision is in amsterdam next year!
Still think this is the best song never to win. I listen to this on my playlist all the time. So much class.
To me and as I read it many others, the true winner of esc 2014. Still listening to it today. The refrain is so strong and yet so humble.
One of the best, and definitely best performance of the night. Proves that you don't need a lot of crap going on in order to get people's attention, magic happened in stage. Definitely in my top 3 from USA.
Loved it, best song, staging and best live performance of the night by A COUNTRY MILE. Come on Ilse win it for Holland, so deserved.
I wish this was played on US country stations. Its so perfect and would fit in with our country love songs.
Der Song wird bei uns in Deutschland immer noch oft im Radio gespielt. ❤️
ja absolut
Ja.
Peter Schaefer Wirklich ? Ich habe ihn schon sehr lange nicht mehr gehört..
My very favourite this year, gonna definitely vote for it on Saturday.
I really hope The Netherlands wins: such a beautiful song and also I'm so done with all these fights between these "presumed" winners.
Best regards from Italy and good luck :)
IMO Real winner of 2014
no.
I don't see how some insane chaotic song from a drag queen from Austria can compare to my favourite type of music, sweet guitar drive pop ballads.
+Liam Holton Yes but Austria is the real winner you cant change it HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :P
+AustrianGameBoy Childish boy
87 people agree with me.
My favorite Eurovision song of all times :)
IMO this should've been a big hit on the US country charts. Great timeless song 👍.
This song is perfect when you’re driving through Texas.
12 points from America!
Yeeaaah good america!
Thanks
I would even say: 12 points TO America...;))
It's a good year to the Nethrlands: Third Place on FIFA WorldCup and Second on ESC.. Congratulations, Greetings from Colombia
We have 2024 and i still think this should've won in 2014 masterpiece ❤❤
This was such a masterpiece! Love from Latvia. One of my all time favorites.
Actually, the guy who is singing in this song is Waylon. Waylon is representing Netherlands in Eurovision 2018
Halleum Wow didnt know that. Thanks
Okey, Common Linnets you have convinced me. The Netherlands will win.
Best comment I have read so far today on the internet about this song:
"Imagine wandering through an endless desert of glitter, spinning wheels, bad english lyrics, tacky clothes, energetic dancers, etc... and suddenly you stumble upon a beautiful lake, with fresh, clear, cold water. The Netherlands is that lake."
Absolutey love this song and performance. ❤ From Austria
Four years on and still come back to watch this performance.
Great song, great performance, great set, great sound and mind boggling visuals.
