PROMOTIONAL VIDEO

 
De Toppers will perform the song 'Shine' in Moscow, hoping to take the Neterlands into the final since 2004.

 

DIARMUID'S THOUGHTS

A decent song from the Netherlands with a band which is made up of the country's popular singers and songwriters. With a good draw, this song could well be in the final shake up.

PREDICTION

It is a song that can be a hit or a miss, so it all depends on the performance in May.

OVERALL RATING 7.5/10
