Trijntje’s up next for The Netherlands and she’s been out a shopping in Vienna for a new black leather jacket to replace the ‘jagged cleavage’ dress and someone has seen up the star shaped hole on her skirt. She’s also clearly torn which face veil she wants to rip of her face after the first two lines. First a lacy number then a more beady number for the second run through. Jeez woman, are you a Libran? Make your mind up! Oh wait she’s OBVIOUSLY Libran she’s now in a red jacket, wonder what she’ll plump for?
A quick fourth run through of the first two lines now WITHOUT a veil, oh Trijntje now even I’m unsure what you should do. Go away with the delegation and have a think love!
She’s singing very well and this, although very repetitive, is a strong earworm and the emotion at the end when she begs whoever left her to stay through the close ups with the camera is good. I’d say the cameraman will be a bit scared as she’s really pleading at the end. He’s trying to pull back but she’s having none of it and almost projects a ‘woman having a mid life crisis and/or a nervous breakdown!
I like the backdrop silhouettes of her guy on his own and then embracing her as she remembers and recounts the good times. This is just about working for me but I think it might be one of those that would be better on cd rather than stage. I’m slightly worried for the Dutch.
