The Netherlands have revealed their entry for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest by Douwe Bob. It is entitled Slow Down and is a mid-tempo country/pop song. The official video has also been released.
The local broadcaster AVROTROS internally selected Douwe Bob to be the Dutch representative in Stockholm in May. Slow Down was composed by Douwe Bob, Jan Peter Hoekstra, Jeroen Overman and Matthijs van Duijvenbode.
You can see the official video for Slow Down below.
Next up is a task for the fashion experts. Netherlands has picked DOUWE BOB as their artist for Stockholm. He appeared on TV with his underpants and a coat and says this is what he would like to wear in Stockholm.
Now we know the Netherlands has had some flops in the clothing department. My best recollection is 1984 when Maribelle sang IK HOU VAN JOUW but all I remember was the dress with the huge bow and the song escaped me totally. Many said Joan Franka also picked the wrong outfit and who will forget Vienna with Trinjntje Oosterhuis and the dress in the first rehearsals – looking like a piece of the puzzle was missing.
You must now advice the Dutch delegation as to what would be the best for Douw to wear.
