Very much agree with you! Maybe even too good for Eurovision, this never happened before. The song brings so much emotions up by everyone. You can feel the sincerity of this song. It's so powerful and at the same time so fragile. Thx for your video, love your reaction
Thank you for your reaction. I enjoyed seeing you liking it so much. I try not to be prejudice as a 'Dutchie" but i love this song so much. I heard him sing it live and it was amazing as well.
if he is nto gay, or a lesbian or a transgender with extreme leftist political ideas, he will NEVER WIN!< it is not about singing, it is about politics!, extreme left politics, the rest is all a show to coverup the fact it is all rigged and a big scam!, the winner is well known way ahead of time!, than they have people calling in to vote, wich is a total scam!,

I had the same reaction :) When I first heard the song it felt like Ed Sheeran or, dunno, Sam Smith is representing the Netherlands with one of their best hits. I really want to see how this artist will turn out because it's his first song ever if I'm not mistaken. I'm not even that concerned about Eurovision results, I'm just so glad got to know this song and it's in my playlist now and it will stay there for a long time :)
@@ParalimniVoice I am in complete agreement with you, the song is breathtaking; the video was mesmerizing. Reproducing both on stage live? Not gonna happen. I want Duncan to do well, but staging that song effectively is gonna take some masterclass ability.
@@ZakhadWOW the people of Holland can do awesome things so visual effects also wil be great. And we will see who wins. Would be very proud if Duncan wins ❤️🎶
Im watching you ....and recognize so many of my own reactions and movements...mirrored.....to those when I first listened to Arcade. Majestic! Great description....
PERFECT. Music, Lyrics, Video, Goosebumps all over my body when I hear this song. Very nice to see how you enjoy a great song and sing along. NR 1 2019 for sure, IF ppl will vote honest and not political polite. (Happens every year with countries from the East of Europe) Succes Duncan, een Internationale muziekcarrière ligt voor het grijpen voor je als jouw performance on stage net zo goed is als deze clip. Kippenvel, telkens weer. Zo klein en kwetsbaar beginnen en dan BAM en weer zo klein eindigen, perfect.
Duncan wrote and composed it himself. It's about someone (a girl) that passed away young, if I'm correct. And indeed, Duncan did win last night! I was at work (a bar) and we had the ESC on a big screen. The moment he won the crowd went nuts, me included. It's been 40+ years since we won last lol.
Finally , after 44 years ! I can still remember the winning number Ding-a-Dong by Teach-in, in 1975 . I know the two previous winning artists, Corry Brokken with Net als Toen en Lenny Kuhr with De Troubadour, but that was before my time.
I listen it on spotify. I thought it was just an american artist with a number one hit. Then i saw it on trending as a song festival number from the Netherlands. Im sure some of you will think the same. Greetings from the Netherlands!
Ja man precies dit. Sterker nog, dit is voor het eerst dat ik serieus gespannen ben voor Duncan dat hij gaat winnen. Het hele songfestival boeit me eigenlijk niet, maar dit keer wel puur omdat het zo'n mooi nummer is.
Thank you for this video. I have the same as you, listening So nice impression Have to go be silent for a moment Duncan Laurence you have won my hart all really. Even If you don’t winning this 2019. You are the best of all 🇳🇱
I actually believe we have a very high chance of winning this year considering the quality of the lyrics and the uniqueness of the rythm and sound. It goes from very high to very low, which makes it very hard to sing but Duncan is amazingly good during live performances. I think Arcade stands out in comparison to all the other entries. I my opinion, this year’s songs aren’t very good quality and very meaningless. A lot of empty pop beats and corny lyrics. If we don’t win this year, I will lose all my faith in Europe’s voters. This is what music is supposed to do with you, make you emotional. Hit you right in the core & give you the chills.

That hit hard man...What we need to do, is understand that we should not expect anything good from anyone so it doesn't eat us inside... Caring and loving people are hard to find in this world, so keep close those you know for sure that they care and love you.
This is my Nb 2 after Sweden, it will depend on Hou his live is in esc. I know that John is live is super and I am not sure off Duncans voice, but still is my Nb 2.
Every time I listen to "Arcade" I get emotional and sing along. Unfortunately, I cannot vote for the Netherlands, so my votes are, as of now, going to Iceland, Italy, and Slovenia. 1. Iceland - Ukraine * Iceland and Ukraine would have duked it out for first based off of their semis, if Ukraine was still in the running. 2. Italy - The Netherlands 3. Slovenia 4. Poland 5. San Marino (I'm LIVING for the Eurovision-ness) 6-15. I'm not sure of their specific orders. 6-10. Belgium, Estonia, Hungary (IF Pápai includes the whistling in the live version as in the studio version and doesn't remove it like in A Dal OR Greece takes their spot automatically), Ireland, Switzerland (it gives me typical summer songs though/Cyprus last year vibes. Cyprus was my number 1 last year, so don't get it twisted). 11-15.Albania, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Greece. Also, 4:10: THE SHADE! xD But it's true, it sounds more like a top 40 song over a Eurovision song. Our neighbours in Belgium also have quite the top 40 song as well.
Haha, no shade boy, more like a pleasant surprise 😄. Indeed, Belgium also has a unique song as well but I think is overshadowed by The Netherlands. Nice top overall 👌😉
