WPC 2011 - Netherlands vote-off

Published on : 12 April 2011 - 6:35pm | By Tim Fisher (graphic: RNW)
More about:

We now present the results of the vote-off to choose the 2nd song to represent the Netherlands.

In this year's World Pop Contest each country may be represented by one or two songs. For some countries we have had more than two nominations, so in April 2011 we asked you to help us choose the best songs for those countries.

This page presents the three songs nominated to represent the Netherlands in English. One song in Dutch was nominated and therefore qualifies automatically.

The results are presented below:

Song E from the Netherlands came 2nd with 32 points and DOES NOT go to the FINAL:

Song F came 1st with 36 points and

Here's what we asked you to do.

You have 10 points TOTAL to award. You may divide the 10 points as you like between songs D E F (videos below).

You may want to give each song different points (examples: 3-4-3 or 1-8-1 or 5-4-1 or 1-6-3, etc.)  
You may want give points to only two of the songs (examples: 2-0-8 or 5-0-5 or 0-7-3, etc.)
You may want to give ALL your points to just one song (10-0-0 for example).

How you divide the points is up to you, but you must award a total of 10. If you do not, your votes will not count.

Email your points for Song D - Song E - Song F - to us. Mark the email NETHERLANDS and include your name and the name of the country you live in.

NOTE: Only one of these songs will be in the final, the Netherlands' entry in Dutch will be the other song.
