[omaittie]

deze had echt de 1e plaats moeten halen.

Leuk, Linda Willems. In 1999 deed ze ook mee!

[Kubelink13]

Nice song by Linda Williams.

English version is called "I am the lady"

Can also be found on YouTube.

For me it's better than the Dutch version.

Conductor Rogier van Otterloo died in 1988 of cancer,he was 46.

Het is een wonder that this song only got 9th place while the UK's crappy entry won.

Heel mooi nummer over wat echte liefde met je doet. Ik draai het best nog vaak.

Deze zangeres had een hele mooie stem.

[mears89]

I think this song should definately come top 3 with uk and ireland and certainly my favourite.Does anyone know if the live version was ever recorded onto cd as it is slightly different from the official recorded version.

[PN9K5]

This song should have vonn.........

[trinemartine]

Totally agree with you mads27galt

[sjorsjimmie]

een bier in the hand in een amsterdamse kroeg and Linda uit blearing out of the speakers, its a miracle. very dutch indeed. haha

[mads27galt]

I remember when we watched the ESC that year my father said, "That song is going to win!" I had to agree.

I still think it should have been in the top three, along with Germany and Switzerland.

[tiggerhans]

I like the song very much, but personally had a different favorite in the Dutch national final. You may be surprised however that Linda was very active as a saxophone player, instead of going on with a sining carreer!

fransbauer avant la lettre, woonwagenmuziek

[Raldon77]

Agreed - I could really never understand how this reached the top ten that year.

[Dennemark]

Its an typical Dutch song, and there are many more like it from the early 80's. Really, alot of people like this style, me among them, and sometimes a song made in this style breaks through internationally.

@Dennemark If the muslims will become the majority there won't be such songs anymore..
