Morten Thomassen has now reached position 11 of the 2022 Eurovision songs. It is the Netherlands entry DE DIEPTE. ESC Covers google translated it from Norwegian to English.

I have mentioned before the joyfulness increases in song sung in its national language.

Not since 2010 have our Dutch friends served us a song in their own language but, unlike last time, it was well received this time.

It was 11th place and in its semi-final the song ended up in 2nd place.

S10, as the artist called herself, which is an abbreviation of her first name, Stien served us the song “De Diepte”.

The depth that the artist sings about attracted the most attention from the jury, it gave the song three times more points than the people.

And to that extent, you can actually see that this was probably more of a jury song than something that would attract the people.

However, we hear the audience in the hall singing along, but the audience at an ESC final is probably a good deal above average more familiar with the songs than many others.

The S10 does a good vocal performance, visually it starts out dark, but it picks up throughout the song.

You can almost say that the song rises from the depths, but those who voted via the phone probably didn’t bother to wait for the song to come to the surface.

Many will probably think that too little happened in the song and that it therefore became a bit boring.

Boring for Dutch fans is probably the fact that in this country the artist is chosen internally by the TV station, however it can be defended by the fact that in recent years things have mostly gone quite well in terms of results.
